HELLO DEAR, I AM WRITING THIS MESSAGE TO REPORT A CRITICAL ISSUE WHICH HAPPENED ON MY NISSAN MURANO 2005. LAST WEEK DURING DRIVING, MY WHOLE DRIVER SEAT SUDDENLY LOOSE AND NOW IT ALMOST FELL OFF FROM FRAME. I FEEL NOT SAFE ANY MORE TO DRIVE IT. IT COSTS $500 TO $1000 TO FIX. IT IS A NISSAN MURANO 2005 S MODEL, I BOUGHT ON FEBRUARY 2006 BAND NEW. IT HAS AROUND 100K, I USED IT FOR WORK MOST OF TIME. AFTER DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND IT IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE ON NISSAN MURANO 2005. NISSAN SHOULD RECALL FOR THIS CRITICAL ISSUE AND TAKE FULL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FIX. *TR

WELL,MONTH AGO MY WIFE UNLOCKED THE CAR ,SAT INSIDE AND START THE ENGINE. WHILE SHE WAS TRYING TO REVERSE THEN FRONT DRIVER SEAT JUST COLLAPSED ON THE LEFT SIDE. WELL,WE FIND OUT IT IS FRONT SEAT BRACKET THAT BROKE AND WHILE I WAS LOOKING IT ONLINE FIND OUT THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR NISSAN AND NEVER WAS MADE TO BE RECALL.THEY CHARGE TO FIX THAT BETWEEN 950-1200 $ . NISSAN IS VERY MUCH AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND THEY DID FOUND SOLUTION BY PUTTING AN EXTRA SUPPORT ON THE BRACKET SO IT'S MORE STURDY. I'M JUST HAPPY THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN ON HWY. THAT COULD CAUSE ME TO CAUSE ACCIDENT AND GET HURT ME AND OTHER PEOPLE. PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAPPEN ESPECIALLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE DRIVING ON MAJOR HWY. OR NOT. *TR

LEFT SEAT INITIALLY STOPPED FRONT TO BACK MOVEMENT. THE RIGHT SIDE WOULD TRY TO MOVE BUT LEFT WOULD NOT MOVE. YESTERDAY THE SEAT BROKE LOOSE ON THE LEFT SIDE. REPAIR ESTIMATE IS $1000.00. AFTER SPENDING TIME ON LINE, IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND A SAFETY BULLETIN HAS BEEN ISSUED BUT NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS THIS PART COULD BREAK IN AN ACCIDENT AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO THE DRIVER. *TR

I COULD NOT MOVE MY POWER SEAT TO DRIVE AND S TERRIFIED EVERY TIME I DRIVE.FOR NO REASON MY SEAT STOPPED GOING FORWARD AND BACK AND THEN IT WOULD SWIVEL ON THE TRACK. . THE NEXT DAY I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND HE VERIFIED I NEEDED A NEW POWER SEAT. I CALLED NISSAN CORP THAT NIGHT AND VOICED MY CONCERN AND I WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER, BUT WAS TOLD I HAD TO GO TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I MADE THE FOR THE NEXT DAY. TOOK THE CAR IN TO LOKEY NISSAN ON 7/01/04. THEY VERIFIED I NEEDED A LOWER SEAT ASSEMBLY AND A FINISHER ASSEMBLY (WHICH HOLDS THE WIRES). THE PARTS ARE $1300. AND LABOR $395.89. I THEN CALLED APRIL BACK (AS SHE INSTRUCTED) @ NISSAN 1-800-647-7261 (4 OR 5 TIMES) AND ALL I GOT WAS HER RECORDING. THE CASE # IS: [XXX] AND APRIL IS @ 457248. I WAS ABLE TO FIND A USED PART AND MY MECHANIC COULD INSTALL IT, BUT AFTER READING ON THE INTERNET HOW MANY MORENO OWNER'S THIS HAPPEN'S TO, I AM APPALLED. THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL ON THESE CARS. NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM ON 04 - 06 MORENO'S FAULTY FRONT POWER SEAT AND OR IMPROPER FORWARD/BACKWARD MOVEMENT. AND SPECIAL BULLETINS WENT OUT TO ALL TECHNICAL SERVICE PERSONNEL TO AMEND AND INCORPORATE NTB-5-056 INTO THEIR SERVICE MANUALS. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE BOTH ON DISABILITY AND DO NOT HAVE $1600. TO FIX NISSAN'S MISTAKE. I FEEL I AM IN DANGER EVERY TIME I GET BEHIND THE WHEEL AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, NISSAN WON'T RETURN MY PHONE CALLS, WHEN THEY ARE THE ONES WHO TOLD ME TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP...BIG WASTE OF TIME AND GET A SERVICE RECORD GOING.SO IN ALL: NISSAN CORP KNOWS THAT THE SEAT SLIDE MOTOR OR GEAR ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO REPLACED FOR ANY REASON, THAT THE POWER SEAT HAS VOLTAGE TO IT, BUT WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD. THE SEAT ALSO MOVES WHILE DRIVING IT BECAUSE THE SEAT WON'T STAY ON THE TRACK: IT BECOMES CROOKED ON THE SEAT TRACKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 3 MPH, A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE WAS PRESENT AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT SUDDENLY MOVED BACKWARDS AND TO THE LEFT CAUSING THE DRIVER TO MOMENTARILY LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT FRAME BROKE CAUSING THE SEAT TO BE UNSTABLE DURING BRAKING. I CONTACTED THE NISSAN DEALER AT THE TIME AND HE STATED IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND RECOMMENDED I FIND SOMEONE TO WELD THE SEAT FRAME. *TR

DRIVING, HEARD LOUD POP AND DRIVER'S SEAT TILTED BACK. THE RIGHT REAR BRACKET BROKE ON THE SEAT FRAME THAT NISSAN INSTALLED TO REPLACE THE FIRST ONE THAT BROKE ON 01/30/2009 AT 62,853 MILES. NISSAN REFUSES TO DO THE REPAIR AT NO CHARGE AND SAID IT WILL COST $1,200. MY INITIAL COMPLAINT FOR THE FIRST INCIDENT (ODI NUMBER) IS: 10593351. *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, HEARD A LOUD POP AND MY SEAT TILTED BACK. THE LEFT REAR BRACKET BROKE. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRACKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT FRAME BROKEN ON OUTBOARD SIDE. *TR

DRIVERS SEAT FRAME BROKE CAUSING DRIVER TO SWERVE. FORTUNATELY NO TRAFFIC OTHER CARS OR PEDESTRIANS WERE IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY. *TR

SEAT BRACKET BROKE CAUSING SEAT TO WOBBLE SIDE TO SIDE, WEAKENING OTHER POINTS OF ATTACHMENT. I HAD THE SEAT BRACKET WELDED TWICE SO FAR AND IT HAS REBROKEN TWICE. INTERNET RESEARCH REVEALED THAT THESE BRACKETS BREAK VERY FREQUENTLY IN 2003-2008 NISSAN MURANOS, EVEN THOSE WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE. NISSAN RECOGNIZES THAT THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN, AS THEIR REPLACEMENT PART IS MUCH STRONGER AND TOTALLY DIFFERENT, YET NO RECALL. QUITE A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOUR SEAT COMES LOOSE WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING! SEATS SHOULD NOT DISCONNECT FROM THE CAR WITH NORMAL WEAR. I WEIGH 170 POUNDS, NOT ABOVE AVERAGE FOR A FULL GROWN ADULT DRIVER. *TR

DRIVERS SEAT LEANS TO THE LEFT, SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR. *TR

SEAT FRAME BRACKET ON DRIVER SEAT SNAPPED. PROBLEM IS WIDELY REPORTED ONLINE. AVOIDED DEALER RIPOFF FEE OF OVER $1,000 BY HAVING INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WELD THE FAILED HARDWARE. *TR

GOT IN MY CAR AND FELT THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT TILT. THE ARM UNDER THE SEAT BROKE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AS I HAVE BEEN REVIEWING THE INTERNET. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NO FATALITIES AS OF YET, IT IS A PROBLEM NISSAN IS AWARE OF YET WILL NOT FIX. IT COSTS $500 AT MY NISSAN DEALER TO FIX THE SEAT BECAUSE IT IS "OUT OF WARRANTY". I KNOW THAT THIS PROBABLY WILL JUST BE PUT IN A FILE BUT IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU COULD DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOME FAMILY OUT THERE WILL BE MISSING A FAMILY MEMBER IN DEATH DUE TO A FIXABLE PROBLEM THAT NISSAN REFUSES TO DEAL WITH. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD ON IT'S OWN, I ALMOST CRASHED MY CAR INTO A TRUCK AND COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I TOLD THE DEALER BUT THEY SAID IT IS NOT COVERED. I DON'T HAVE 800 DOLLARS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM MY SEAT IS NOW STUCK IN A FORWARD POSITION AND I AM WAITING UNTIL IT MOVES BACK. HOPE IT WILL NOT HAPPEN WHILE I AM DRIVING. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT FRAME BROKE WHILE ADJUSTING THE SEAT CAUSING THE SEAT TO PERMANENTLY LEAN TO THE LEFT NOTICEABLY. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND THE DEALER QUOTED A $1000 REPAIR COST WHICH I FELT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER A RECALL. SINCE THEN I HAVE LEARNED THAT IT IS A PROBLEM FOR THOUSANDS OF OWNERS WITH 2003 TO 2006 MODELS. NISSAN JUST NEVER OWNED UP TO IT BEING A DEFECT. THE SEAT CANNOT BE ADJUSTED PROPERLY AND IT IS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE WHEN DRIVING. *TR

MY DRIVER SEAT BROKE RECENTLY. A SEARCH ONLINE DETERMINES THIS IS A RECURRING PROB FOR THIS VEHICLE. WHY HAS THIS ISSUE NOT BEEN A RECALL ITEM, OR WHY ISN'T NISSAN COVERING THIS DEFECT??? THE REPAIR IS APPROX $1,200!!! ? *TR

DRIVER SEAT BRACKET BROKEN WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ON STRAIGHT AND LEVEL OPERATION. RESEARCHED PROBLEM AND FOUND A TON OF OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM VARIOUS OTHER OWNERS WITH SAME ISSUE. ISSUE IS THE REAR LEFT BRACKET ON DRIVERS SEAT. SEAT MOVES ALL OVER THE PLACE AT THE MOMENT AND IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO BE DRIVEN. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT IN THIS SEAT. *TR

FOR A COUPLES OF DAYS I STARTED HEARING THE DRIVER SEAT NOISE, WHILE I WAS DRIVING OR AT REST IN A REDLIGHT. THEN ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING MY SEAT SUDDENLY FELT TO THE LEFT SIDE. IT DID NOT WHEN ALL TO THE CAR FLOOR OR OVER THE DOOR BUT I DID NOT HAVE ANY STABILITY OF MY BODY FOR THAT SIDE. *TR
