Drivers side power seat on my 2007 nissan murano is broken. The left side of the seat moves fine but the right side is locked in one position. I had the problem diagnosed by an authorized nissan dealer and was informed that a plastic gear on the side right side of the seat used to move the seat from back to front is damaged and needs replaced. This plastic gear is probably less than $5 to manufacture but I was told by the dealer that the whole track needs to be replaced at a cost of $750 (not including labor). There are numerous complaints on the internet regarding this issue.

Drivers side seat frame broken. No accidents, or any other issues before it becoming broken. We need to replace the frame of the drivers seat costing $1200. There are multiple complaints on the same issues with the same model/yr. As well as the same model and different years.
I have a 2007 nissan murano that experienced a break to the drivers side seat frame. The metal support at the back of the seat sheared off from it's weld to the rest of the seat frame causing the seat to suddenly rock backwards. Nissan USA refused to repair this defect at their expense and are charging $1,132 for an entirely new seat frame assembly. After searching the internet and finding many, many other owners with the same issue, I took my car to a local welder here in cincinnati ohio and had him weld the piece back to the frame. He also shored up the other side and took out the passenger seat as well and found a crack in the metal support frame on that side. That was welded also. I am concerned at nissan's apparent disregard for the potential safety issue here. It seems to me that there are enough similar problems to warrant a recall for defective design and/or manufacture. The local welder I used in cincinnati told me this was his 4th murano. That's one local welder in cincinnati. Thanks for your attention to this issue.
The driver seat frame on my 2007 nissan murano broke while I was driving and I almost lost control of my vehicle. I went by the dealer today and they said same is not covered and want me to pay one thousand dollars for a new frame even though they know same is defective, they said until same is deemed a safety issue /recall they are not going to fix anything for free.
Seat bracket broke, which seems to be a major safety defect in the nissan murano. When I attempted to adjust the seat only one side would raise, the other was broke....no other event LED to failure. Cant even buy an updated part, nissan only sells the same defective part.
Suddenly, while driving my 2007 nissan murano today, I heard a "snap" sound, and the driver's seat began leaning to the left. Not feeling safe in the car, I stopped to inspect the seat, and found that the steel frame was broken under the left rear corner of the seat cushion. The car has been driven 50,000 miles at this point, so it is no longer under warranty. This is obviously a safety issue for this vehicle.
The seat mount failed on my 2007 nissan murano. In reviewing the damage, I discovered that the mount is a thin strip of inferior metal. In exploring options to fix the seat I went to the dealer, who said a repair would be approximately $1,500. I do not believe that this is a maintenance issue and is definitely a safety issue. In reviewing the database there have been several investigations but with no recommendations. Please help.
Nissan murano driver seat base is broke in 2 pieces.
Driver power seat of nissan murano breaks for no reason while I was driving the vehicle. I am only 179 lbs. Left rear bracket broke and seat becomes unstable. It is shaking from left to right and front to rear. When press the brake pedal, seat leans to the back. It also may be dangerous because seat has a safety bag.
The drivers side front seat bracket broke while driving, thus allowing the seat to lean sharply to the door.
I have a 2007 nissan murano s model with a broken seat linkage bracket on the lower left hand side of the drivers seat. I was 3 months out of my warranty with only 25k miles, the vehicle is moderately used and it's a big safety issue. My seat no longer stays upright and will rock on the left side.
I brought my car in for an oil change and when I picked up the car I was told my lift link was broken. I informed the dealer that it was not like that prior to bringing car in. He told me nissan murano had a history of this defect. I was never told of this defect. I question why the dealer failed to tell me this upon leasing the 2007 murano and secondly how it just happened to break during a visit. The technician explained to the consumer that the lift link keeps the seat in a stable position. He then proceeded to show the consumer that the driver's seat was rocking from side to side and could be dangerous in case of an accident. The consumer stated there was nothing wrong with the seat, when the vehicle was dropped off at the dealer. The consumer also stated the driver's side visor would not stay in the upright position. The technician examined the visor and stated it was broken and needed to be replaced. Updated ivoq 08/12/10*jb
Driver's side seat just broke - seat rocks back and forth while driving, more noticeable when stopping and accelerating. Looked underneath seat and it appears one weld is broken, the other side's weld may be cracked.
Driver's left rear seat attachment point gave way during a shift in body weight. This created a floating type condition as the left rear of the seat shifted up and down in correlation with the vehicles movements/cg shift. Took vehicle to dealer to point out unsafe condition and was told that it was not covered under warranty despite the vehicle being only 3 years old with less than 100,000 miles on it.
Left side of seat frame broke. Drivers seat. Dealer quoted $1250 to repair. Not safe to drive with loose seat.
My 2007 murano has a cracked support bar that allows the seat to rock back and forth as I drive. The cost estimate was over $1000. I have driven over 1 million miles in my life and have never experienced a cracked seat (49,000 mile on the car).
My 2007 nissan murano has broken driver's side seat frame. It broke while braking for stop sign at a slow speed and the vehicle only had approx. 50,000 miles. It now rocks to the right when braking and turning. The dealership estimate to repair seat frame is $1,000. I feel this is very unsafe and an obvious defect in this model and nissan should stand behind fixing the problem and making my vehicle safe to operate.
The problem I am experiencing is the same as the following report... The federal safety agency action number : pe08065.
Nissan 2007 murano - left rear anchor bracket on driver's seat broke. It appears that this is a known problem (pe08065), why is nissan not responsible for either fixing the problem or having a cost effective fix (this could run over $1,000).
Front seat has become loose on the left side of the drivers seat. I had taken it to the nissan dealer for an oil change and asked them to look at it. They called to let me know it would cost 1000.00 for the part and 200.00 for labor. In a struggling economy I cannot afford to make this repair. This seat is clearly a safety issue if I were to get into an accident. I feel as though this should be covered by nissan as I understand there are many other of the same complaints.
About two weeks ago, I begin to notice that the driver's seat was rocking every time I turned. This is not a slight rocking. I would have to say that the seat moves 2-3 inches. I was actually bumping into the center console. It seems to be loose on the left side. After taking it to the local nissan dealership, it was diagnosed as a "broken bracket in the link arm." there is an extended bumper-to-bumper warranty on the car, but nissan has declined to cover the part. I do not view this as a cosmetic issue or a minor problem. I have true concerns about what would happen in any type of accident with a loose seat, especially in a rollover.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan murano. The driver side seat has broken. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and he was advised that it would cost $1000.00 to replace the seat. The nissan manufacturer was contacted, and he was advised that because the warranty expired, no assistance could be provided. The failure mileage was 46,793.
Drivers seat broken track making seat rock like a rocking chair.
My 2007 nissan murano driver seat broke tonight it started making a noise a couple days prior and then it just started sagging down on the left side. I had to drive it home with it flopping up and down, this was very unstable and I am concerned about the safety. We looked under the seat to see if perhaps a bolt came unscrewed only to see its a metal bracket and would need to go to the dealer to be fixed. My car has 50,0000 miles from what I am seeing this is a major issue, but since no bodily injuries or deaths have occurred they are not being required to recall this problem. I think allowing them to charge consumers 1000.00 to 1500.00 is ridiculous. Lets not wait for people to die in order to fix this problem. I will call the dealer tomorrow to see set up the appt for the another recall I just received and will inquire about fixing the seat which I am sure I will be told its out of warranty and no recall has been issued. I hope this recall is not being overlooked because of the government bail outs for these auto dealers.
The left rear of the drivers side seat frame failed. The seat wobbles.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 nissan murano. While driving approximately 25 MPH, the driver's seat failed and extended to the rear seat. The contact immediately drove to the dealer and was informed that the seat could be repaired. The dealer welded the seat to the track as a temporary remedy. On july 6, 2009, the seat failed again. The dealer recently stated that they would no longer weld the seat because the track needed to be replaced. The contact paid $400 for the welding and $1,400 for the track replacement. She stated that she would not repair the seat since the failure recurred. The manufacturer stated that they would make an agreement with her to split the repair cost. They later stated that they would get in touch with her and that no recalls were available; however, the dealer and service manager confirmed that the failures occurred. If a crash had occurred, the injuries could have been fatal. The contact refused to pay for the repair and stated that if the seat leaned toward the air bag switch, the air bag would deploy. The state attorney general is mailing her a packet to report the failure. The contact informed the dealer that she will go the media about the issue. The manufacturer stated that this would be irrelevant since no crash occurred. The contact found several the federal safety agency complaints and an open investigation regarding this issue. The failure mileage was approximately 39,000 and current mileage was 42,000.
I bought a brand new 2007 nissan murano and it has 55,000 miles on it. As I was driving home my drivers seat made a very big pop and the frame of the seat broke into. It scared me to death and I felt so unsafe. My first thought was that I had been hit by another car. Please read all the complaint about this. I am sure this is a defect and a big safety concern. I have always had my car serviced at the dealership and have all service records on my car. Nissan will not fix my car because they say it has to many miles(55,000). The cost to repair is 1,500.00. I have never had a seat to fall in the floor. I sure hope this safety hazard will be recalled before someone gets hurt.
My nissan murano drivers seat frame broke. The seat flopped around and I almost lost control of the car. I was driving on a two lane very curve road at the time. The seat dropped to the left and the seat back went backward.
I have a 07' nissan murano, with 39,000 miles. In the last week the drivers seat started to lean to the right when I turned to the left. Today I felt a crack in the back of the seat. In investigating I found that a crossbar had broken at a seam. Now my drivers seat rocks and probably is not the safest in an accident. This seems like an ongoing issue with nissan, I read about 03's, 04's, 05's and now my 07' having this exact same problem. I do not know if nissan will fix it yet due to it being over on miles for my warranty.
