2004 nissan murano driver's seat is broken from frame. Seat tilts to the rear- left and rocks up and down when sitting or putting weight on seat. Electrical functions of the seat (up/down and back and forth) are working. Concerned with safety issue not having the seat properly secured. Seems too much movement (rocking) could be a danger if in a collision - unsure if the seat and seat belt mechanism will work properly if in a crash. Will be taking the vehicle to nissan dealer for repair. Don't know replacement costs.
2004 Nissan Murano seats complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 94 of 94, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Seat moves / slides somewhat since motor broke. Safety concern is that it will begin to move freely, causing vehicle to be unsafe to operate.
Normal everyday usage of my front driver side seat. One day for no apparent reason the front driver side seat broke. The seat is now unsafe and rocks back and forth. I took it to the dealer for repairs and was told it was a broken seat frame and cost $1056 to repair. I cannot drive the vehicle now because the seat is unsafe.
This is the second defect that I have had with this car and a lot of nissan murano owners have had it as well. The problem is with the seat rocking and sliding. It seems that these seats were not made right or have had poor craftsmanship. This is very dangerous being the fact that in an accident the driver could fly out the windshield due to the negligence to properly fix this problem.....this can cause major injuries or even death................
Regular driving, 2004 nissan murano se, noticed one day the drivers seat started making a creaking noise. I didn't pay much attention till one day while cleaning the interior, I pushed against the seat and it moved back and down towards the drivers rear left. I researched the issue on murano.org, and found out it was a broken seat frame. I also had mossy nissan check it out and they also told me it was a broken seat frame. Due to the cost of the repair, and the likely hood of it recurring, I did not fix the seat through nissan.
Front drivers seat adjuster frame breaks. Causes seat to become loose from floor.
On our 2004 nissan murano the power drivers seat will no longer adjust front to back. It will twist with the outside moving but inside not moving. This is a safety problem because the seat is stuck almost all way back and the only way that my wife can drive is to put a large pillow behind her. Checking on line there appears to be design and or manufacturing problems with the murano drivers seats. I have contacted tony holland, service director at crown nissan in greensboro, nc and he advised that per the nissan area rep because of age and mileage nissan will not make a good will repair. To get the required part you must buy the whole seat track for $796.62 which is crazy. Total cost would be $1,118.67 plus tax. On line there seams to be two issues one the seat frame breaking and the other a plastic part that drives the ball screw breaking. Nissan will not check the problem until you authorize the purchase of the seat track. This an accident waiting to happen. I urge you to issue a mandatory recall to make nissan take responsibility to fix their error like a responsible company would do.
While driving (at 65 MPH!) the left rear anchor bracket of the drivers seat suddenly broke causing the seat to collapse and become unstable. I was lucky to be able to remain in control of the car and avoid an accident. As a result of this broken bracket, my seat rocks severely when I turn corners and sometimes when I apply the brakes. This is a serious safety concern and a recall should be issued. I have not had the car repaired as of yet but I do find by researching that this issue is quite common (service bulletins have been issued by nissan and you) and the repair costly. Until I hear from you, I will fix for the time being by installing some wooden blocks under my seat to stabilize it. Again, I urge you to issue a recall on this very serious safety issue.
Drivers seat rocks from left to right. This occurred once before in 2006 and was repaired under warranty. Now there is 52,000 on car and this is beyond warranty with a major cost from nissan for repair.
I have a 2004 nissan murano and the power seat as I was simply driving down the road just leaned to the left suddenly. I took to nissan to repair they gave me a quote of $1,200.00.
My 2003 murano drivers seat frame cracked at the left front support while driving. There is only normal usage of the seat under normal driving conditions. I took my car to the dealer as I thought it may just be a bolt that was loose or something and was told the whole seat frame would need to be replaced to fix the issue. This is a serious safety hazard as the seat rocks forward whenever braking in the vehicle. Had it broken under strain from breaking to avoid an accident I could have lost control of the car. What's the use in being buckled in if your seat is not securely fastened to the car.
I have a 2004 se nissan murano and the driver seat has broken. I was driving my murano while coming to a turn and heard a loud snap sound while immediately my driver seat went left against the driver door making it hard to control the wheel. I could have had a wreck trying to brace and control my balance of the car. I am 179 pounds and weight could not have played a factor in this seat defect do to reading many, many complaints about this same issue happening to nissan murano owners. The metal assembly bracket has broken I later discovered. I have contacted nissan and it is not under warranty and to have repair is estimated at 1,000 dollars. This is outrageous!!! There needs to be a recall on this part by identifying it as a safety hazard and could cost someone their life !!!!!!!!!!!
While driving this morning, I made a right turn @ about 5mph out of the traffic light (driving conditions were dry road, slow speed and daylight), when I noticed a snap sound from underneath my 42,200miles 2004 nissan murano sl driver's seat and felt as if the seat came loose from the seat railing bottom. Instantly I fell backwards and towards the left side of the seat almost loosing control of the wheel and pulling my lower back muscle trying to get my self up. Pulled over to check the seat, and noticed the seat was loose, hardly made any force to move or wiggle it back & forth or side to side. Immediately noticed a loose "bar" or piece of metal. Went to my usual nissan service center to find out about the problem/broken part and found out the broken part is the back crossbar of the seat lifter link slide assembly. It actually detached from the welding on the left side of the seat. My vehicle is not covered by any warranty as it expired about a year or so and the service center will not replace with out a cost and a new assembly. It will sell the whole assembly though, which I do not intend on paying since I believe this is a design/manufacturing failure and needless to say a safety issue. I found out nissan motors knows about this problems with the murano's drivers seat and have not done anything, and they should. Even nissan came up with a "reinforced"/ different part number seat assembly, also I know for a fact that many murano owners have filled complaints both with nissan & the federal safety agency and nothing has come up or done. I was lucky I didn't crash or sustained any damages other than a sprained lower back, an unsafe seat and an undriveable car in the meantime. Believe me, it could have been worst a lot worst. For the record, I complained to nissan about a year ago about a back & forth rocking motion on the same seat and found nothing but a loose nut. Something have to be done before someone do get really hurt or killed. Please help us.
The driver seat in my 2004 nissan murano broke. The motor is still working but the right side of the cable is broken so it doesn't slide forward. This is a major security issue and it costs over $1000 to repair it. I have read many other muranos with similar complaints so this must be a manufacture defect.
Failure of the power seat drive. Driver's seat seemed to be lopsided, high on the left side of it. Now I have to drive with seat severely askew to the right and seat could not be properly adjusted. Repair will cost about $850 plus tax. All for the sake of a poorly designed, overworked small plastic gear.
The frame to the driver's side power seat broke while I was driving. I nearly ran off the road, narrowly missing another vehicle on the freeway.
I own a 2004 nissan murano, and today after only owning the car for less than a year, the driver seat (automatic) broke and is leaning to the left. I am covered under an extended warranty and this problem will be covered by nissan, but to those many owners of this vehicle that this has happened too, I feel obligated to report this issue. I feel this is a driving hazard and could cause a serious accident or even death. When the seat broke, I was in moving traffic of around 45 miles an hour, and I almost swerved to the left and hit a car. This is a parts issue that nissan should cover. I think it would be unjust to allow nissan to not recall this item and repair this item for free. I weigh less than 185, so I doubt this problem was due to weight issues. It's a defective parts issue. Please contact nissan to get this corrected.
I have a 2004 nissan muruno and the passenger seat started making a clicking sound everytime I would turn, but at that time I did not know what it was. Then a few weeks later the I was driving and made had to stop abruptly and the seat broke. Then my seat was leaning to the side. When I took it to the dealership in raleigh, nc on wake forest road. I was told that I would have to buy a brand new chair. Which I think that they quoted me $800.00 then that was not including labor. That was almost 2 years ago. I am still riding with my seat leaning to the side.
Drivers side seat on nissan 2004 murano seemed to have an "off-track" issue when moving seat up or back. Now iti has totally malfunctioned.
I have a 2004 nissan murano. The power drivers seat will only move on the left side and the right side is stuck. Upon taking it to the dealer, I was informed the gear on the right side was stripped, and it would be $1,000 + to fix this. I had the vehicle in multiple times under warranty for the seat slipping when I took-off from a stop sign, and was told it was operating as designed. I am concerned that in an accident this seat is not going to remain in place and it will result in major injuries.
2004 nissan murano se seat tilted to the left and cannot be adjusted. I have no replaced the part yet because the cost per the dealer is in excess of $1,000.00.
I have a 2004 nissan murano which my wife and I love, but we have recently developed a problem that we haven't experienced before. The left side of the power drivers seat broke and the ride is very dangerous and unstable. I can only imagine what I will face if I ever have to suddenly stop my car. I'm currently searching for someone local that can weld the seat back to its base, but cost is a factor and so is time. It seems that this is a manufacture defect, and perhaps there should be some sort of recall to correct this issue before someone gets hurt and has to sue nissan.
Tl*the contact owns a 2004 nissan murano. Each time the vehicle is driven, the driver seat moves from right to left and front to back. The failure was noticed while driving 55 MPH. The vehicle was taken to the dealer twice and they stated that the frame of the seat failed. There is a service bulletin regarding this failure; however, the number was unknown. The current mileage was 82,000 and failure mileage was 81,500.
The quality of my 2004 nissan murano is not up to par with nissan vehicles. I have had nothing but problems since I purchased it the end of october. The vehcile has been to the dealer 12 times for various issues. Ie window rattle, window noises, drivers seat loose, stearing rack bolts were loose, loose emergency brake cable.
