What 2005 Nissan Murano owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I bought the car not knowing that the seat bracket driver side was already broken the dealership would not do anything I looked into this and there are several thousands of other complaints on the same safety issue I'm only a hundred and fifteen pounds and I'm bouncing all over the place and I'm terrified I don't have the extra 2,000 $3,000 is going to cost to replace and this is a major thing it has happened several times this needs to be recalled now
The drivers seat frame is broken at the right rear lift arm. The seat frame is electrically adjustable. The seat wobbles causing the driver to move around at random. Loss of control of vehicle is possible as seat moves left and right as vehicle is being driven. As this just occurred within the past 24 hours it has not been inspected by anyone other than myself.
Driver seat wobbles around, seems to be broken. Happened with regular use. Safety issue that appears to happen with many other 05 muranos and possibly other year models. Ongoing.
Got into the vehical. While adjusting the seat and leaning back, the seat slumped back and to the left. It wobbles now. I feel it is unsafe to drive because the seat is not solid and shifts around as I drive. My wife is disabled and I am a disabled marine combat veteran. We cannot afford a new vehicle or to replace with a new seat. Manufacturer should replace this.
Drivers seats are broken on a lot of muranos. Complaints on line all years. Airbag light won't go off.
The left side of the drivers' side seat started moving up and down - the bracket that attached it to the floor of the car snapped so the left side bounces up and down. This is primarily my sons car and it seems like a safety issue for me - moving while driving, and less stable in an accident. It looks from nissan forums that this is a very common problem with nissan murano yet it is not a recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. While operating the vehicle, the SRS sensor indicator continued to flash. The vehicle was taken to pocatello nissan (1900 flandro dr, pocatello, id) where it was diagnosed that the air bag control sensor was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Also, while operating the vehicle, the driver's side seat back moved because the seat frame was fractured. The seat was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 120,000.
The driver seat of my murano move back when I press the gas and when I press the brake it moves forward and pushes me up the guy I bought my car from told me that most of the muranos had recalls on their seat bc of this reason. It messes me up when brake and pressing gas bc I'm moving.
Driver seat collapsed on rear while driving. The base frame is a square that has a horizontal bar on the back and that broke on the left rear side that resulted in dipping on that side when seated and driving. This is unsafe !! No reason any metal that should have been welded should brake off
