Broken seat frame.
The track assembly in the driver's side power seat failed. When engaged the motor assembly would not move forward or backward but instead would cause the entire seat to swivel to the right. Prior the failure there was a grinding noise. Any attempt to shift the position of the seat while driving could have caused a serious problem.
Power drivers side seat in nissan murano 2005 jammed on the right side after 50,000 miles.
A bracket on the driver's side power seat has broken, and the seat tilts to one side and also forward. It is loose and will move forward several inches when I decelerate/accelerate or get in/out of the vehicle. This problem has occurred under normal use. The vehicle has not been in an accident nor anything other than ordinary driving on streets. The broken bracket appears to be very small for a weight-bearing piece. This piece would certainly not survive a crash. If still intact, the piece would certainly break during a crash. This could cause the driver's seat to move dangerously close to the steering wheel, allowing the driver to possibly impact the steering wheel or windshield. I have not repaired this yet, as I need to decide what route to take. Apparently the dealership charges about $1,000 to repair/replace the offending part, but they will replace it with the same fragile part. It appears that contacting a professional welder may be a better choice, as they can weld the pieces together and strengthen the pieces too.
Seat support on driver's seat broke. Read on internet about several similar failures. 2005 nissan murano, 70,000 miles.

As I was leaving my garage, I heard a click and a snap and realized (after my seat started leaning to the left) that the driver's seat on my 2005 nissan murano broke. Luckily I wasn't in heavy traffic and was able to pull over. It is unbelievable that nissan has yet to voluntarily recall this defect. Currently the vehicle is at the dealer and I am waiting for nissan to take responsibility for this issue. This is the 3rd incident I have had with this truck.
Driver side seat bracket broke. Just cracked. It appears several people have experienced the same problem. Concern about the integrity in the event of an accident.
2005 nissan murano failing mounting brackets. Consumer would like to know if while crash testing the nissan murano if they encountered failure a failure with the driver side mounting brackets. *kb while navigating a left turn, the drivers side seat suddenly titled to the left causing the consumer to lean against the door and bump her head on the drivers side window. The sudden shift also caused an injury to the consumers lower back. The bracket sheared due to what the consumer believed was a manufacturing defect.
Nissan '05 murano power driver's seat broken several time I took it the first time to the dealer and got it fix for $1200 than broke again last month I reported the issue with nissan but they wont resolve the issue. I think it is a very serious issue that should be taking care off. God for bet I get to an accident I could easily fly out of the car. This is a bad safety issue and need to pay attention to.
While driving down the highway I could hear what could best be described as a combination click and snap. At the same time I felt the lower left side of the drivers seat move. After further investigation (pictures available), I found that a supporting bracket has sheared in two places. This causes the seat to be very loose. One of the power seat functions will cause the seat to raise up only on the right side.
Driver's side seat frame broke on exterior side. Angle bracket with hinge pin snapped in (2) two places.
I was driving and hit a small bump and the drivers seat broke. It is very dangerous.
The iron bracket on the passenger side of the seat if broken. The dealership stated that it was normal wear and tear. The vehicle (nissan murano 2005) should be able to withstand more that just 2 years of use. I have further proof where other owners of the same vehicle have experienced the same problem on the driver's side of the vehicle. I also had purchase extended warranty on the vehicle and the dealership stated I didn't have it, and it is not covered. I know there is something that can be done. I have contact an attorney for further assistance.
I heard about the breaking of the driver seat, it just happened to me on my 2005 nissan murano. First the seat would be lose like excessive movement for some time, then all of the sudden it will eventually break. *tr I am about 250 ponds and that dose not seam to be excessive enough to break the back bottom cross bar under the drivers seat. (I'm sure this is a expensive repair) this was very dangerous and scary for someone who is unsuspecting of this issue. Thanks for reading.
The driver's seat suddenly broke, which startled me and caused me and the seat to lean back and to the left. The seat seems to be anchored on the right, but is loose on the back left, so it now rocks back and forth - especially when cornering. I read online of many other instances of this occurring with other nissan murano owners but there does not yet seem to be a recall. There is, however, a nissan tsb out on this subject, #05-043c.
While I was driving on highwayi45 north I wanted to move my seat back that was when my seat broke; I hit my head on the passenger side window and almost had an accident took it the dealer and they knew exactly what had happen they told me that they have service a lot of muranos for that same reason. Cost 995.00 plus tax.
11/27/07 problem: air bag light flashing. (two occurrences) diagnostic conducted 11/25/07 and 11/27/07. At the first service dealer could not determine diagnostic codes and I was asked to bring vehicle in 11/27/07 a complete diagnostic was conducted. According to dealership diagnostic codes the passenger side seat needs to be replaced with costs exceeding $1000. The seats, thus far appear to be in tack. What does seat cushion have to do with airbag or its sensor? The vehicle is less than years 2 years new with approx. 51,000 miles. Concerns: vehicle safety and proper deployment of airbags. I was informed by dealership that this is common in muranos and pathfinders. If so, why hasn't there been a recall w/o costs to consumer. After reviewing similar complaints submitted by other consumers, it appears to me that safety concerns exists including but not limited to the risks of injury to a passenger. In addition, the actual cause and final repair resolution remains unknown and unresolved. (see other consumer complaint no. 10208537) it is not a coincidence that my vehicle's airbag indicator failed around the same mileage as the other. Who is to say that the airbag will not malfunction in case of accident? (please also see consumer complaint no 10199625 & c.c. No. 10196794)

While driving the car, my front seat suddenly broke pitting me towards the driver side window. Seat was leaning toward the driver side window. On wednesday, october 17, 2007 brought my 2005 nissan murano to the nissan dealer located in morristown, nj (open road nissan service department). I was told that the driver side seat frame broke. In order to fix the driver side seat frame of the vehicle, the cost to would be $900 plus dollars. What if I were in an accident - this seat may have been a factor to serious injury. Why is a seat frame breaking on a vehicle with 48,500 miles - not yet three years old. I keep my cars for more than 10 years and no vehicle I ever owned did a seat just break. Seems to me this is a dangerous situation that needs to be reviewed on nissan muranos. I am very concerned for safety of this vehicle.
