I have a 2006 nissan murano and on the left side the seat dropped down while driving at approximately 35 MPH after hitting a bump. Previously I had taken the dealer with complaints of rocking and clicking sounds but no condition could be found. After the seat broke I took it to my local dealer who per tsb05-043c found drivers seat lifter broke and replaced lifter link under nissan factory warranty. The seat still does rock but is attached to the left side and is secure. I am contacting the local dealer for their response to the issue.

2006 nissan murano driver seat broke loose from track, almost wrecked vehicle getting to the dealer. This should be under a recall w/ mnfctr , but nissan will not pay for the repairs in full (met me at 50%), but this is a serious defect that is not that uncommon from what I have read now. This must be recalled.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. The seat track was broken in two places of the driver front seat. The entire seat was rocking from side to side. There were no existing recalls. The contact would be responsible for replacing the seat for $1,000. The manufacturer stated that in three months the warranty will expire. The failure mileage was 47,000.
I own a 2006 nissan murano and it currently has approximately 56000 miles on it. The seat drivers side seat frame/track is currently broken. This causes the seat to tilt toward the door and also it is not fully attached. We attempted to address the defect with nissan and john miller of field operations at kelly nissan. They first told us that we were responsible for fixing the defect for $860.00 and then reduced it to $350.00. After we indicated that it was a defect and the manufacturer should pay for it, the offer was retracted. My wife dawn grochowiak was spoken to in an unprofessional manner after indicating she was pregnant and feared for her safety.
2006 nissan murano driver seat broken at 73k miles. This is a major safety concern as the welding under the seat snapped while I was driving at 65mph and the seat now rocks back and forth. Car is out warranty and nissan wants $1,000 to fix this problem. After some internet research, I have learned that this is a very common problem in 03-07 muranos. My seat is no longer stable and if I were to get into an accident I do not know what would happen. There should be a recall issued.
The issue is with the front driver's side seat in my 2006 nissan murano. A part in the track has broken and now the seat sways back and forth when sitting in at and driving. It was started "creaking" several months ago, but just finally snapped about 2 months ago. The dealer has said it will cost upwards of $1000 to fix this, but I have seen countless other reports of this same problem online, so it sounds like this should be a recall on nissan's part to address this clear safety issue.
While driving the front driver seat broke and began leaning to the side.
Drivers seat rocks and leans to the left. This is extremely dangerous if in an accident or brake right side brakes how do you maneuver car if you are in the rear seat, talk about backseat driver, this will be a reality, I have never seen a steering wheel in the back seat nor do I want to experience it.
Was traveling close to 70mph on freeway when driver seat completely broke. My body collapsed to the left side and forced me to lean against driver door. I swerved and nearly hit a vehicle because of this. Apparently, a weld in the seat assembly broke. My vehicle is out of warranty and nissan refuses to cover the damage which is obviously a defect. Upon talking to other nissan murano owners, this is a common issue. I still have not repaired the seat as nissan is charging nearly $1,000 for the repair. I currently have wooden blocks underneath the seat to prop it up. Occasionally the wood slides out and I have to pull over to replace it for safety reasons. I believe this is a huge safety issue. My vehicle is a 2006 nissan murano with just over 60,000 miles on it currently.
2006 nissan murano defective drivers seat. For no apparent reason seat started to rock form side to side when making turns. I thought it was a loose bolt but could not find one. When I turned the car in at the end of my lease period, nissan wanted to charge me for a broken driver seat molding. I have noticed that there are many other similar complaints. In addition, service managers at nissan have seen this problem frequently. This happens from metal fatigue and during normal wear and tear, not be abusive driving habits. There should be a factory recall on this issue.
2006 nissan murano. Front driver's 8-way power seat. My wife told me that one side of the seat, the right (transmission selector) side, was jammed and would not move forward and back causing the seat to "pivot" in position. I could not see an foreign object stuck under the seat that would cause this so I took it to the local chrysler dealer. They told me that the gears that mesh together to direct the movement of the seat were stripped and that the entire 8-way rack mechanism had to be replaced, to the tune of over $900.00!!. The service tech said that this was a common problem on the murano and is usually caused when the driver leans back hard against the back of the seat and lifts up his or her fanny, as when entering the vehicle and adjusting pant legs or a dress before starting to drive (something everyone does all the time). After reluctantly paying to have this work done I took the old seat rack home and took it apart. Sure enough, two gears on the right-hand side of the rack were stripped of several worm-teeth, however, the gears themselves are less than 1/2" in diameter and made of cheap nylon! You would think that these would be made of metal. Also, the gears themselves could be removed quite easily from the assembly. I don't understand at all why the entire seat assembly had to be replaced except as a profit maker for the dealer. After seeing all of the exact same complaints on this particular vehicle on various car complaint web-sites it is obvious that nissan should be required to recall these vehicles and replace these defective gears.
My wife was driving down the road and made a left hand turn and the driver's seat suddenly tipped to the right. What had happened is the seat track broke on the left side and must now be replaced. Consequently, the seat tips to the right every time you make a left hand turn. It tilts to the left when sitting in it. I believe that if we were to get in an accident prior to the repair the seat would dislodge from its mount. We had the dealer check out the problem and the seat track assembly is available for order and replacement. It will take 2-4 days to receive the part. This vehicle is only three years old, the repair is over $800 and not warrantied past 36,000 miles.
2006 nissan murano driver seat "rocking" this looks like it is a very common problem. I am 130lbs!! The seat is broken. I was driving and it broke!!
Turned a corner at normal speed and was almost tossed out of the seat. The seat lifted in the back left corner of the drivers seat. Not a pleasant or safe feeling to have your seat feel like it is flying off of the floor. A car seat should remain firmly attached to the seat. Even if the seat itself doesn't cause accidents for people - the feeling you get of losing control could easily cause a driver to steer into an accident. I was shocked to read online how many people have this problem and the general lack of concern about it from nissan. This is a driver safety issue and very alarming to have happen to you while turning onto a busy road.
I have a 2006 nissan murano and the driver's seat suddenly became unstable while driving. It snapped back several inches mid drive and now rocks from right to left. I am told the repair is going to cost upwards of $1000 and it will not be covered under warranty. I have read numerous descriptions of the same problem and am now concerned that I am unsafe while driving.
Driver seat wobble, left and right. Having this problem for past 3 months. Dealer says it will cost $900 to fix. I can feel something is broken under the seat. My wife needs to adjust it to go forward, we are always afraid if seat will come loose when moving forward.
I was driving my 2006 nissan murano s awd (bought new in january 2006) when the driver's seat snapped to the rear left nearing causing an accident on the highway. There is a tsb on this problem and I have become a member of a large group that can expect the seat frame to break every 2 to 3 years. It seems that nissan has a design problem that needs to be addressed, but not at my expense or life. This should be viewed as an extreme safety issue. The dealer fix is over $1000 since there is no safety recall at this time.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. While driving approximately 35 MPH and proceeding to turn left, the driver's seat began to tilt to the left without assistance. The failure occurs when making left turns. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for inspection and the adjustment anchor bracket was deemed to be the cause of the failure. The repair cost was estimated at $1,000. The vehicle has not been repaired. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 65,000 and current mileage was 70,000.
The driver seat if my 2006 nissan murano rocks back and forth and side to side. I found this out by making a left turn at a light and my seat just popped and I leaned into the door. Now it wiggles back and forth even when not driving it.
There was no warning but one day the driver's seat stopped moving on the left side. Essentially, the seat would just hook to the left whenever I tried to move the seat and whenever you started the car (since this car has an automatic seat adjust feature upon starting and turning off the engine). I took the car to the dealership to see what the problem was and it resulted in needing a new seat track. Unless the repair is made, which nissan consumer affairs will not take responsibility for, the seat remains in a position that is not appropriate for me, the main driver. Additionally, I am the only driver of this vehicle and would not ever move the seat causing this damage to it. The vehicle has a feature that causes the seat to move each and every time you get in and out of it, on it's own. This is what caused the damage since I never manually move the seat. I have seen many other complaints about this same issue on websites such as nissanmurano.org. This is a safety issue. Nissan will not rectify this issue and has not recalled the vehicle for this problem.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. On may 5, 2009, the contact noticed that the driver's seat was tilted. The frame appeared to be misaligned. The vehicle was taken to the dealer because the contact suspected that some screws were loose. The dealer stated that the seat frame failed and needed to be replaced. The contact feels that the failure was due to a manufacturer defect because the vehicle was only three years old. The current and failure mileages were 55,000.
Entered vehicle today after work and as soon as I sat in the drivers seat, there was a loud popping noise. Seat flopped back as I was getting in. Seat rocked back and forth on the way home. Upon inspection, noticed left rear seat frame was broken. This appears to be a common problem being reported by hundreds of other murano owners.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. While driving between 55-60 MPH, the brackets failed underneath the driver's seat. A nissan repair shop welded the brackets back in place in march of 2009. The failure only occurred once. The contact has a repair order from the shop for $300. The failure mileage was 53,000 and current mileage was 56,000.
The drivers seat in my 2006 nissan murano broke. I had the seat back part replaced, however, it broke again within a week. Will be going back to glenn nissan in lexington again. This is ridiculous. Nissan needs to step up to the plate on this one!
Without warning ,drivers side seat broke off from seat track on bottom rear left side of seat resulting in the seat being partially disconnected from track. Same as hundreds of other complaints for the same issue listed on the web.
Driver's seat is broken - the entire frame on the left side broke and the seat falls to the left, making it impossible to be comfortable and safe. Currently have 2x4 boards holding up the seat, and an unable to adjust the seat creating a pain in my lower back, as well as a safety flaw in the vehicle.
Seat frame on my nissan murano 2006 sl , broke 2 times already, on my friends car broke down already 3 times, afraid to drive , because after I fixed 1 time , in 20,000 miles its broke down again , nissan /dealership and company don't wont to deal with it, don't want to admit /. Help , like car don't like repairing seat frame every 20,000 miles.
Driver seat frame is broken. It appears that there are many others with this same safety issue. Dealer suggest $1100 repair.
Upon entering the driver side door and sitting in driver seat, the driver seat support rod, underneath the upholstery, became disengaged from the left side support post, causing the seat to "cave-in" on the left side.
Was driving down the road doing 25mph to the intersection and made a left hand turn on the already green light. While in the middle of the turn the back left portion of my seat lifted up several inches causing me to lean suddenly to the right. Managed to regain control through the turn. Now when making left hand turns I have to hold on to my door handle with my left hand to avoid causing the seat to lift and lean extremely to the right even under mild speed. Once I got home I took the left side plastic panel off the drivers seat and upon lifting up the rear left corner of the seat could see where the cross support bracket had broken the two small contact points with the side bracket. Will try to take it to the local nissan dealership tomorrow to hopefully have repaired/replaced under warranty.
