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.

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

WHILE DRIVING I HEARD A POP AND THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT DROPPED DOWN AND BEGAN TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE SEAT FRAME BRACKET WAS BROKEN AND WAS NOT A COVERED REPAIR (NOT IN WARRANTY) AND WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $800 FOR THE PART, AS THE BRACKET WOULD ONLY BE SOLD AS PART OF THE ENTIRE MOTOR ASSEMBLY. *TR

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 *TR

BROKEN DRIVERS SEAT FRAME. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR
