Driver's side power seat will not move forward or backward anymore. It is stuck at the far back position. Nissan says that the part replacement would cost around $1000 plus labor. This is not a part that is supposed to wear out and too expensive. It is a safety hazard not to be able to move the seat forward, but I can't afford to spend $1300 to fix this issue. From a forum online, it appears that many, many people have had this same problem with the nissan murano driver's seat and nissan is refusing to accept this as a design flaw and fix them.
2007 Nissan Murano seats complaints
Page 6 of 9: complaints 131 to 160 of 221, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Tried to adjust the seat and heard a large crack. Seat has never worked well again. Seat is like a weeble wooble. It leans to the right. Nissan has to know about this problem, construction problem with these particular models and years.
There is a local used auto dealer selling this murano and has sold another one yesterday a 2005 with the same diagonal tilting drivers seat issue that is a safety problem and the cost when a dealer looked at it and said that the lifter link slide assembly was broken was $600 to fix. He also stated there has been a service bulletin open for years on the murano in general for this issue. The local dealer told me that it was normal and has sold many with this same issue used.
As with all of the other complaints regarding the seats, it appears that my front driver side seat has the same problem. It rocks back and forth and I can see that the bracket has snapped. Nissan needs to be held responsible for this safety issue. There wasn't an accident that caused this and I'm not obese. I'm sure if there was an accident this problem would render the airbags as ineffective. I was driving and going around a turn when I noticed it rocking. I do know if I had to stop abruptly I'd probably end up through the windshield. I don't think consumers should bear the cost of $1500 for a seat only to have it happen again in another 4 years which is how long I've owned the car. *tr
The passenger side seat began to rock side to side. There was not accident or any thing. It was fine on the way to the store but getting back into the seat when leaving the store we noticed the rocking of the seat. After taking it to the shop that night we were informed that the seat frame was broken. The weld had failed. After talking with the mechanic we were informed that this is a fairly common problem. A very expensive problem that can hurt people. If not fixed this could lead to serious injuries in an accident. Why is nissan not responsible for fixing this common problem that can harm their customers?
Seat motor twisted seat clockwise while moving making the pedals unreachable by wife. Seat cannot be adjusted front and back now and only twists as there is no movement on right side of seat.
Upon entering my murano and backing out of my driveway there was a loud snap. The seat began to tilt. Drove straight to the dealership. They informed me that the bracket that holds the seat had sheared off and the only fix was to replace the seat to the cost of about $1500. I am very glad I wasn't traveling at a high rate of speed when this occurred. It seems ridiculous that a 4 year old car would have metal underneath a seat breaking unless it was being put under tremendous weight. As an average sized person this seems completely the fault of the manufacturer.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan murano. The contact stated that while driving 45 MPH , the driver's seat fell backward abnormally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they stated to the contact that the seat frame was fractured. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 100,000 and the current mileage was unknown.
Driver seat rear structure broke, seat unhinged from base, leaving chair rocking as I drive or turn.
While stopping at a stop sign - going approximately 5 MPH we heard a loud cracking sound from the driver front seat. Upon inspection, we noticed that the rivet that holds the seat on the seat rail completely snapped off. This is faulty workmanship or inferior products in my mind as I've had a toyota and ford in the past and never had any issues with the seats.
The driverside seat bracket broke. There are four mounts on the driverside seat that hold the powerseat to the vehicle.the left rear of bracket of the seat bracket essential snapped. The driver weighs no more than 190 pounds. The owner went to three nissan dealerships and they acknowledged the issue, but nissan has declined to make the repair. If the vehicle is in accident then there is a high likelihood that the driver will not be held in place as forward momentum will force the driver into the steering wheel or through the windshield.
Driver seat track assembly broke, front right of track ( weld broke). Seat rocks. Safety issue and nissan will not cover under our extended warrenty. Dealership claims that they have never seen this before - state is usually breaks in rear of track.
My front driver seat has become loose and rocks up and down. The dealer says the seat bottom frame is broken and needs to be replaced ,but will not accept any responsibility for the faulty part.
On the driver's power seat, the seat frame breaks and the seat itself becomes unstable, rocking back and forth several inches. The seat's instablilty is noticable on corners when in motion. This is apparently a fairly common occurance as both the dealership and various car repair shops are familiar. Nissan's answer to this safety issue is to charge owners aproximately $1,000 to install a replacement seat frame.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan murano. The contact stated that the driver side seat fractured. The dealer was made aware of the failure and offered to perform the repairs at the owner's expense but the contact declined. The manufacturer was aware of the failure and the vehicle was not repaired. The current mileage was 70,000. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan murano. The contact stated that the driver seat would wobble from side to side abnormally. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 65,000 and the current mileage was 67,000.
Approx. 2 months ago, I noticed that the drivers seat of my vehicle was wobbling. The vehicle has 65,000 miles on it. Upon inspection, I found that the left, rear portion of the seat was no longer attached to the body of the car. The seat moves when I enter and exit the car and it leans while making turns driving the vehicle. I checked on line for any possible recalls related to this issue, as the seat should not be loose and I see it as a huge safety risk should I be in a collision. The seat is not secured to the body of the vehicle. I found many consumer complaints related to this issue involving not only the 2007 year model, but other year models as well. Many of the individuals stated that they had contacted their nissan dealership as well as corporate nissan and were told that this defect is not involved in a recall because it is not a safety issue, yet they will recall an air cleaner tube that has a tendency to come loose. The dealerships will repair the common defect for more than a $1000. I sense that this issue has already come to your attention, after seeing the number of complaints reported. Please help us to get nissan to the next right thing by backing their product and more importantly, repairing a gross defect that absolutely makes their vehicles affected, unsafe to drive. Thank you for your consideration.
When I initially purchased my 2007 murano, the driver-side electric seat would rock slightly when leaning forward or back. Recently the frame connecting the front of the seat (just under the cushion) to the floor frame snapped and caused the entire seat to fold backwards. Luckily I had just pulled into my driveway and was able to step on the brake and put it in park before I was in an accident. Upon examination, the frame necessary to secure the seat to the floor was woefully inadequate. I have searched the internet and have found many others complaining of the same issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan murano. The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH the driver's side seat broke. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the seat assembly needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but did not offered any assistance since the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure and current mileage was 48,000. The VIN was unavailable.
The seatbelt release mechanism has become intermittent (sticky) over the past several weeks. This appears to be due to the collapse of the driver's seat frame, which occurred on this vehicle several months ago. The seat belt appears to be anchored to the seat frame on the right side, and to the vehicle body on the left side. The wobbling motion of the driver's seat due to the collapsed frame appears to affect the seat belt tension, which may be affecting the operation of the release mechanism. I am awaiting the safety recall on both of these issues.
I have a 2007 nissan murano. The driver side left weld bracket broke on my seat. I am the only driver of this car and I am a female weighing 140 pounds. I don't think that is an excessive amount of weight for a seat to hold. This has created a huge safety hazard for me... And it's going to cost me around $1200 to fix. This doesn't seem right to me... I have seen a lot of complaints about this same issue. Why hasn't nissan stepped in and issued a recall to make this right before someone gets seriously injured or killed, due to this issue. I'm thinking of getting rid of this car and moving on... I was under the impression that nissan made a quality vehicle that was built to last and safe, but what kind of vehicle is safe that can't safely hold a 140 pound female into her seat??? Wake up nissan and do the right thing!!!!
The driver-side seat frame broke on my 2007 nissan murano after normal use only. I was lucky that it broke while the car was parked. Since the seat drops suddenly when the frame breaks, this is an obvious safety hazard. Nissan did not offer to repair the seat. They told me the part alone costs $950 and I would have to pay for it before they would even order the part.
Driver seat became unsecure.
Driver side power flat bracket/ motor broke.
I hate to complain and I've never filed a complaint before, but some type of motion has to be enforced with the nissan murano line of vehicles. There are so many issues with this vehicle that I have chosen to list the most hazardous and frustrating ones. The first issue was recalled. Months before a recall was finally enforced, I almost got severely hurt at a stoplight when the air exhaust hose slipped off on my 2007 nissan murano, which caused it to completely stop in the middle of driving through the stoplight. The second issue will also cause near death experiences/deaths if a recall is not enforced. My driver side seat and 1,000s of others' driver side seats have a collapsed rear bracket which causes the seat to move back in forth. This is extremely dangerous! A rear-end collision could be just as fatal as a head on collision due to the fact that the seat will move forward and throw the driver into the air bag breaking their neck and various other fatal injuries to graphic to list. I foresee a huge lawsuit as nissan has been alerted of this issue many times and refuses to cover it, even for vehicles still under warranty. Instead, they charge on average $1,200 to fix it. If you would like to simulate the issue, you are more than welcome to use my murano with a crash test dummy and crash it into a wall. The most nerve wrecking issue is the breaks. No matter what kind of brakes you have installed or who installs them (even the dealer), they still squeak extremely loud. Once again, nissan knows about this as a common problem, but their response in lamen terms is, 'sorry, that you were stupid enough to pay 38k for a hunk of junk.' I have so many other issues with this vehicle that I lay awake at night and pray that it will get stolen, a major hail storm, or I win the lottery so I can get rid of it as I still owe on it and I'm upside down on trade value. This is my 1st and last nissan. I'm going back to gm for better quality and customer satisfaction.
2007 nissan murano driver's seat frame, rear left weld broke as I got into my car. It made the seat wobble back and forth creating a very serious safety hazard not only in controlling the vehicle, but also if there were a crash. Car was taken to a dealership for appraisal. The quote was for $1400. Nissan consumer affairs would not cover it under "good will". I am not a large man and the seat brackets should not break after 4 years on entering and exiting the vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan murano. While driving at approximately 30 MPH, the contact heard a crack within the front driver side seat. The front driver side seat began to slide back and forth independently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostics where the technician advised that the seat track assembly would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 22,051.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan murano. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the driver seat suddenly collapsed backward, causing him to lose control of the vehicle. The vehicle was then inspected by the dealer and they advised him that there were two brackets that were fractured and the entire seat would need replacing. The manufacturer was then contacted and they advised the contact that the failure was caused by wear and tear. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 22,050.
Broken drivers seat (power leather seat). Left rear seat support/frame appears to be broken. Driver's seat has no support from left rear part of frame - tilted back toward the left rear corner and rocks on the left side. Also appears to be unrestrained (can rock forward)on left rear corner.
Murano front drivers seat frame cracked/broken seen lots of complaints on internet of other people with the same issue and no recall has been submitted to nissan for this issue to be fixed. Cost runs over a thousand dollars to fix.
