Driver's seat frame broke while driving. The seat rocked backwards and was unstable during turns. It broke during city driving. I believe if it happened during highway driving, someone might loose control of the car.

2005 nissan murano. Consumer states issues related to the seat damage and other problems with vehicle *tgw the consumer stated when her vehicle was returned to her the seat was broken.

I've been having a problem with the power driver's seat in my 2005 nissan murano, the driver's side power seat just started to tilt to one side, and also forward. It is loose and will tilt forward/backward when I decelerate/accelerates. According to my mechanic, it's sort of structural failure with the anchor of the left rear side of the power driver seat.
Totally unexpectedly, the driver's seat tilted backwards all of a sudden, almost causing an accident as I lost control for a while. I took the car to the garage after wedging the seat stationary with blocks of wood. The mechanic said the weld on the seat bracket broke and that it was my responsibility to fix at a cost of $1100. Despite repeated attempts to get nissan to repair what was clearly a faulty design that caused metal fatigue, the seat still has not been repaired. I went on the internet to see if anyone else has had this problem and found in a short time about 200 instances of this bracket breaking in this same spot. This car has only about 38,000 miles and has only been driven by myself.
Seat bracket for 2005 nissan murano power front seat broke causing instability for driver when driving. There were no deaths or injuries, but driving in such an unstable condition in the mountainous roads of east tennessee could very easily result in death or dismemberment.
While driving my 2005 nissan murano the drivers side seat collapsed. This caused a temporary loss of control of the vehicle. Luckily we were not in an accident. My brother in law's drivers seat also collapsed. I have found numerous similar stories on the internet. When asking nissans consumer affairs to look into the matter they took 21 days to investigate. They finally told us that they would not pay any of the $900 that was estimated to fix. They stated that it was due to the fact we did not have our warranty. I'm not sure why it took 21 days to figure that out!

My driver's seat suddenly became more like a rocking chair. When I accelerate I tilt backward letting my foot come slightly off the pedal. The resulting hesitation of the vehicle makes me rock forward causing my foot to then hit the pedal and lurch the vehicle forward! What would happen should I get in an accident and the entire seat come loose ?

Broken drivers seat frame - nissan murano.
Approximately 15 months ago, our drivers side seat broke underneath the seat causing the seat to lean to the left against the drivers side door. I took the seat out to see what had happened and found the metal frame support bar underneath the seat had snapped. We called the dealer and they told us to bring it in and it could cost upwards of $500 initially. I decided to fix the seat myself and re-weld the metal. I contacted nissan to see if they would do anything feeling that this is a huge safety concern being that the seat is part of the restraint system and they told me to take it to the dealer which I did, then, to have the dealer contact them. The dealer charged me $107 to take the seat out look at it, print off some papers and put it back in the car. Nissan then contacted me and denied any accountability for the defect, told me I was over warranty and furthermore that I voided the warranty when I fixed my own seat. I am outraged that there has not been a recall on such an important part of the car! As I check with parts people or even do research online about this problem it's clearly evident that this is a major problem with this car and everyone knows it. I have fixed this seat 3 times over the past 15 months and I am fed up with it. Nissan wants $1000 to fix this. I think that sucks and they should be standing by their product and fixing it like a real reputable company would. The website I read several stories on was carcomplaints.com. Can you help?
The drivers front seat broke on my wife's 2005 nissan murano while she was driving at 55 MPH. The seat started rocking back and forth. She was able to make it home as she was only 3 miles away. The car has 32,600 miles.
As I was driving down the freeway, I felt a snap from under the seat and slightly pulled me down, which caused my foot to release the gas pedal. I was able to maintain control because I am a skilled and experienced driver. I researched the internet and found this website and apparently there is a lot of issues with the driver seat of a 2005 nissan murano similar to mine. Nissan needs to prevent a major accident unlike toyota that was not able to on such an insignificant defect. A lot of lives are at risk and they do not need to wait until something tragic happens to act on the issue.
Front driver seat broken.
2005 nissan murano.no previous issues with the seat. I have approx 95k miles. Beginning on friday april 16th 2010. Drivers side seat began to wobble (side to side) as I was coming to a stop. I was concerned for my safety as I thought that the entire seat had come off the track. I had to pull over and tried to see what had happened. I was not able to see anything due to the plastic covers etc on the sides of the seat. However, I did notice that I could completely lift the seat left to right. I very cautiously drove home. Upon further inspection, we found that a metal part under the seat is completely broken in half. The seat is still on the track and all of the power functions are still operational. However, my seat now wobbles every time I slow down, make turns or come to a stop. This is not a wear and tear item. After online research, I have found a significant number of reports and complaints with the exact same issue. This seems to be more of a safety hazard. I have contacted my local nissan dealership and have been told that it is not a covered item under my extended warranty and that they are familiar with this issue and it will cost approx. $1000 part and labor to repair!! How many more complaints before nissan voluntarily recalls this item or do actual deaths have to occur before something changes?
2005 murano seat rail snapped / failed. Seat detached from seat mount on left side drivers side. Seat is now loose and unstable / not factory secured to mounting rail system. This is a severe hazard as proper operations of restraint and airbag systems cannot be guaranteed with the seat not properly attached to frame.
On march 27, 2010, I was stopping at a light and the driver's front seat, in my 2005 nissan murano, broke. I had the extended warranty; however, my seat was not covered. I took it to the nissan dealership immediately and it cost me $461.23 to have my seat fixed. The dealership stated that my rear cushion support bracket was broken, they stated that this was a common problem with the 2005 muranos, and that I would have to either get it fixed there (at the dealership) or I would have to have the car towed to another facility to have it repaired. This is not normal - wear and tear 'a broken seat from stopping at a light. The dealership stated that there were no recalls, but would put in a complaint on my behalf.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. The contact stated that the driver seat bracket broke when the vehicle was parked; as a result, the driver seat was capable of moving back and forth intermittently. The dealer would offer any assistance when the contact called. The vehicle had not been repaired. The current mileage was approximately 61,000. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000.
While driving my 2005 nissan murano on sunday, april 11,201 , I heard something crack and my driver seat collapsed on the left rear. It appears that theseat frame broke. I have approximately 30,000 miles on my vehicle and I feel that this is a serious concern, as I had the presence of mind to pull over as soon as it happened. From an internet investigation, it appears that this is a recurring issue and should be addressed before some dies as a result of an apparent design flaw.
2005 nissan murano. Driver seat anchor/bracket on back left broke. This causes the seat to rock significantly while driving, especially during turns. Main safety concern is the that the issue causes the seat belt to fit incorrectly. It is either becoming too loose or too tight depending on the direction of the seat rocking, the dealer was contacted and was told it is a known issue and the cost to fix is $1,000.00. The issue has not been fixed yet but will in the next month.
My driver's seat broke in my 2005 murano (68,000 miles) in the same manner as a number of others drivers have indicated already. The driver seat broke while driving causing me to loose control for a time....very dangerous situation! The driver seat weld came loose on the left side and now rocks back and forth while driving and going around corners. Took it to the dealer and they indicated it was a $1000 plus fix! Have to replace the entire seat assembly. Dealer and even the extended warranty I purchased will not cover this obvious defect and safety issue. Will be calling nissan next...but from the looks of other complaints, it will be a waste of time since I haven't heard of nissan helping fix anyone with this issue. I'm afraid that until I get this fixed that the rocking motion will break the last support and cause the entire seat to break loose while driving. Know if this is not a safety issue....please tell me what is!!!!
2005 murano sl with 48900 miles. Failed driver's seat as noted in 207 other complaints on this site. Upon getting into the vehicle, the left back portion of the driver's seat suddenly popped and tilted to the left. There is a severe rocking motion of the seat now and turning right causes the driver to have to hold on to the steering wheel with force in order to remain upright and drive appropriately. Currently at the nissan dealership having the problem diagnosed. Haven't yet gotten word on the "cost" of this repair but feel strongly that this should be taken care of by nissan as this is a structural failure that should not occur. Having no injuries reported does not mean this couldn't happen soon. If you are driving and making a turn at the time of the failure you most definitely could lose control of your vehicle.
I own a 2005 nissan murano, the drivers seat support bar broke underneath the seat.this is the tube that supports the seat in the front. It is a not a heavy enough material. This is causing the seat to be lop sided and loose. It also rocks side to side which I feel is a safety hazard. If the car was in an accident the seat would completely break off the mounts and cause severe injury to the driver this is a common problem with a large majority of nissan muranos. Please go to nissan murano.org and you will see the amount of people with the same issue. Please look into this as a recall before some innocent person gets killed by nissan for using a material that is not durable enough. I am a mechanical engineer by trade and reviewed the stress calculations for the type of material used and it is not suitable for the purpose. Please do something before it turns into a bad situation for someone. *cn information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
S10 appropriate handling re toyota recall problems. *tgw 2005 nissan murano. While driving, the seat broke away from the floor. 18 months after the warranty ended, the same problem happened again.
I own a 2005 nissan murano. While driving, I heard a snapping sound and then the left side of my driver's seat began to lean towards the driver's door. The seat was very loose and each time I went around a curve or came to a stop the seat would shift dramatically. I took it to the dealer who said that this is a common problem with the murano. They have even published a service bulletin to their maintenance and repair departments on this matter. However, the part is not covered under any of the vehicle warranties and they wanted approx. $1200.00 in parts and labor to replace the broken part, which turns out to be a weld in the driver's seat frame. I opted to take my vehicle to another repair shop, where they welded my existing seat frame back together for a cost of $100.00. I feel that if nissan is aware that they have a problem that occurs often enough for them to alert their service dept. Of the matter that they should issue a recall on their defective parts.
