There was no event that happened prior to this problem. Driver's seat has a rocking back and forth motion at the left rear. It appears the federal safety agency has issued a tsb for this problem previously, but the problems still occur.
There was no event leading up to the failure. I simply got into my car and noted that the driver's seat suddenly rocked back and forth like it was off track or had come unbolted from the base. While driving the seat was unstable and would shift in place, especially around corners. I took the car to a local repair shop and was informed that the problem was a broken support bar. Apparently the weld where it met at the seat frame had failed.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. The contact stated the bracket on the driver seat was broken and unstable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated to repair the failure he had to pay the repair cost. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. There were no related recalls or warranties for the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 98,000.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 nissan mirano. The contact stated the front driver side seat was broken. When the contact made a left or right turn the seat would sway in the same direction as the vehicle. Neither the dealer or manufacturer were contacted. The failure mileage was unavailable and the current mileage was 83,208.
My driver's seat began rocking badly on may 8, 2011. There had been no unusual incidents or accidents. It appears that the framing on the driver's seat has broken and now my seat rocks badly anytime I get in or out of the car, as well as anytime I make a turn or drive around a curve in the road. It also pitches back and forth whenever I make a stop, thereby feeling like and "ejector" seat and choking me with the seat belt.
I own a 2006 nissan murano and while driving I heard a "snap" sound and the left year of the driver's seat sank which caused me to jerk the steering wheel into the oncoming lane of traffic. Fortunately there was no oncoming traffic. I took the car to my service station and upon inspection they revealed the seat frame in the back left cracked so now the seat rocks side to side. The seat is no longer stable.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. The contact stated that while driving, the seat fractured and the headrest reclined backward. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer yet the manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was out of warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 76,200.
2006 murano seat broke today while I was driving. It is the bracket in the left-side rear of the driver seat. It was terrifying when it happened as I almost caused an accident!. Seats are not supposed to break in this manner. I just found out there is not a recall for this issue. It is ridiculous nothing is being done about this. I am an engineer and immediately noticed this part is of poor design.
Purchased 2006 nissan murano sl with 46k miles. At 60k miles, my driver seat began to rock and now it leans to the left side. The seat is broken and will have to be repaired. From what I've read, this problem is wide spread with muranos and the repair cost is up to $1,000.00 I think nissan should repair this item free and have a recall for it.
I own a 2006 nissan murano and the drivers side seat is loose on the left side of the driver's seat. I have 64,000 miles on it so it is probably not covered under warranty but is an extreme safety risk.
My 2006 nissan murano with 60k miles had a failure in the drivers seat today that nearly caused an accident. The failure is well documented and causes the seat to sit towards the door at an extreme angle and leaving the driver in an unsafe driving position. Nissan has been completely unhelpful in fixing it as they want $1200 to repair.
I recently purchased a 2006 nissan murano. While I was driving one day the left side of the seat snapped and started to sag significantly. I luckily maintained control of my vehicle despite the sudden rock back in the seat. I did nothing to cause this and I weigh under 200 lbs. There is no reason for this problem that I am aware of. I then took it to a dealer who said that it would cost me $600 without even looking at the car. I just told him what happened and he knew the pieces and prices. It seems to be an incredibly common problem but nothing has been done about it so far. This seat breaking could cause an accident, injuries, or even death when it happens. There have been several complaints in this forum and I have seen complaints in several other forums. Will this be allowed to be continued at the safety of other drivers or will this problem be resolved? Nissan doesn't appear to care about it, quite the opposite they seem happy to charge ridiculous amounts of money to fix it. So I'm hoping that a solution for this can be found.
1. Purchased 2006 nissan murano in may 2010 with 40,000 miles on it. At 40,000 miles the front left tire started to make a grinding noise. 2. At 47,000 miles wheel bearing on front left tire went bad. At 51,000 miles was driving the car and heard a snap and the left side of the drivers seat collapsed and now rocks back and forth making it not only unsafe but also uncomfortable to drive. 3. Paid $500 to get the wheel bearing repaired on the car. Took the car into nissan dealership to get the seat looked at and were told that it would be a $1300 repair because nissan does not make the part that was defective, therefore we would have to pay to get the entire seat replaced. These are both safety issues and there are 1,000's of complaints on both of these issues yet nissan still refuses to pay for the repairs or recall the parts.
Driver's side seat frame broke and is now listing heavily to one side. Not exactly sure when the failure occurred but noticed that during the resetting (between buttons 1 and 2) that the seat would only raise on the right, not left. That was about a month ago. Today, while cleaning the vehicle I was wiping the seats down and noticed that the entire unit is unstable. This is a safety concern and I'm shocked by the apparent lack of nissan's response. I have not contacted nissan yet but will do so in the next few days. The earliest I can get the murano into the dealership is two weeks from today. A poor way to run a business.
Dear sir/madam, I have a nissan murano 2006 and I am the second owner...I got this car on march 2010. On feb 15th 2011, when I entered the car and put the key in ignition I heard a popping sound in the driver side car seat ...since then the car seat is rocking towards the left back side and seems like it can fall anytime...I took it to the dealer and he said its a common problem in murano and will cost 1100$. I think this should be reported and you guys should take a proper action against the car manufacturer...I can see hundreds and thousands of posts related to this problem online....so this is definitely a defect in manufacturing and should be recalled. I believe you will do the needful thanks
Broken drivers seat frame.
I have a 2006 murano and the left side of driver seat broke while getting in the car. The electrical component still works, but the seat is wobbly and unstable. Apparently thousands of muranos have experienced the same thing.
Driver side seat just broke for no reason will driving car.
The metal frame on the driver's seat of my 2006 nissan murano sl has snapped in two pieces. This has caused the seat to become unsteady and wobbly.
I have a 2006 nissan murano and I was driving yesterday when I hit a bump in the road and my drivers seat broke. I pulled over and got out of the car and looked under my seat and saw that the bracket on the left side had broken in two places. After looking up this information on line I see that there have been over 100k complaints of the same issue for nissan murano from years 2004-2006.
2006, nissan murano, driver's side seat frame has broken. It wobbles as I drive.the seat bracket on the left side of the seat broke and now the seat rocks around when driving it. The electric controls still work, but the seat rocks severely when making a turn or driving on a bumpy road. I called the local nissan dealership who told me it would cost 1100 to replace the seat. If they looked at it to confirm that it is broken, they would charge me 105.
2006 nissan murano sl electric drivers side seat failure. Yesterday my drivers side seat made a snapping noise while I was driving it and the seat slumped / slanted to the left so I was leaning toward the drivers door as I was driving. I stopped the car and checked the seat by shaking it firmly. The left rear of the seat seemed to be detached from the frame rails of the vehicle so the seat literally flopped back and forth. From the underside rear of the seat I was able to see the broken bracket that attaches the seat to the frame, it is snapped/sheared off. I am only 230lbs and have had the car for just over a year purchasing it used. I have never abused the seat or the vehicle. And have never been in an accident. I did some research this morning for a replacement part and it seems many murano's from all years suffer this same issue and the dealer is charging $1000+to fix it, or you can have somebody weld the part. This is the first time this has happened to me but after the research it is clear it is a major defect in the quality of the metal or the design of the part which is such a major safety item. I was just driving when it snapped, how many other people with nissan vehicles haven't snapped yet but are in a weakened state which could just let loose during an accident. I am going to complain to nissan but I expect it will go no where. Thank you.
I don't recall a particular incident that caused and initiated my seat issue with my 2006 nissan murano. The seat rocks back and forth and is leaning towards the driver's door when I sit on it. I went to the dealer and was told that the seat frame is broken and will need to be replaced. I researched this issue and found out that this can potentially injure someone if the frame breaks off and can cause a person who is driving get in an accident.
2006 nissan murano - got into the car one day and when the seat went to reposition itself there was a loud cracking noise that come from below the seat. Now when I go around corners, the seat shifts from left to right (or right to left depending on the corner). I bought an extended warranty with the car ($1899.00) when we bought the car, but the dealership has informed me that the warranty does not cover fixing the seat.
Seat adjuster and seat slider got broken in nissan murano 2006 causing driver seat to rock from left to right. When I brought the vehicle to a service center, I was told that I cannot drive it until it is fixed due safety concerns. I had to fix it asap and cost of the repair was $1475. Searching internet I discovered that it is rather common problem for muranos from 2003 to 2007.
I purchased my 2006 murano from nissan of garden city around july of 2010, after filing out the paperwork for it I noticed when I got into the car the seat felt odd. I asked the rep what's wrong with it he said "ooohh get bring it back tomorrow we will get it checked out free of charge". Those were his exact words. I said okay no big deal, took the vehicle down the next morning let them look at it I received a call telling me the seat frame needs to be replaced, they replaced it for free. Months go no issue until one day I'm driving with my nephew in the back and I go to take a turn and the seat frame snapped again nearly causing me to hit the car in the other lane. I found a place to pull over and looked under the seat and noticed the frame was broken again. I proceeded to call my dealer I talked to the rep he said he would have to see if it's under warranty, he said he would call me back he never did. Extremely vex I called nissan talked to a rep the first time complete bone head. Talked to another rep named yolanda brown she called the dealership told me to bring it in to them, I haven't done this yet because school is now in session and I'm tied up, however I will be taking it down there this week. I've done my research on this failure of a design for a seat. I don't understand how nissan could put such a poor quality product in their car. Wherever I look everyone is saying take it to your local mechanic and let him weld it or fabricate a part for you. If things do not work out with nissan I might go that route. However it's been noted to nissan that if I get into an accident because of this part failing I will sue them.
My wife was driving our 2006 nissan murano. Upon taking a turn, the drivers seat suddenly shifted to one side. (my wife is medium build, about 155 pounds.) when she returned home, I inspected the seat and found that one of the mounting braces under the seat had broken. The seat now rocks side to side. I researched this on line and found that this is not at all an unusual thing that happens to these seats. I went to my local nissan dealer and was told they have had 4 cases of this happening recently. The service man (scott) even told me this happened to his 2005 murano. Their solution was to replace the entire seat at an estimated cost of $1100. Even if I replaced the entire seat, there is no guarantee that the new seat wouldn't break as well, since it is the same design. They agreed that there has been problems with the seats, not only on the 2006 models, but other years as well. Since my vehicle was more than 36 month old, there was no warranty or replacement of any kind offered by nissan. They agreed that all that needed to be done was to remove the seat and spot weld the broken bracket, but that they "had no welding equipment" and suggested I find someone who welds and take care of it myself. It seems to me that nissan would be concerned that one of these seats might break while at expressway speeds, causing the driver to overshift and be involved in an accident. It is my hope that something be done by nissan to remedy this potentially dangerous situation. I am currently driving this vehicle with a 4x4 and 2x4 block propped under the seat to keep it from rocking.
While driving home on a smooth, even surface road, I heard a "snap" and felt my driver's seat collapse/sag noticeably. Further investigation revealed that the seat track (or adjuster assembly) had broken on the back left mount. At first it looked like a new triangular bracket would be needed to repair the break, but it turns out that the track is one entire assembly. No rough riding or driving conditions were present at the time of the break. I do not do any rough/off road driving. I have read numerous complaints about murano seats breaking on the internet forums.
