Nissan driver seat failed. completely separated from base. nissan service diagnosed as a failed lift link assembly and would cost around $600 for repair. i paid for the extended in my nissan murano and it is not covered by the extended warranty. *tr
Driving my 2006 murano when suddenly the seat lurched down to the left after a loud snap. dealer said my seat frame had a broken weld, and a needed replacement would cost $1,150.00., even though this is obviously is a safety issue, especially when making a turn. i paid for the seat, and immediately decided to sell the car, even though it only had 63,000 miles and it was always well maintained. i am not an usually large man, 225 lbs. nissan needs to address this failure, and reimburse owners for poor safety design. *tr
I have a 2006 nissan murano. i was driving down the road, and the driver seat made a snap sound, and suddenly leaned to one side. it took me a few seconds to realize what had happened, and get control of the car. i have checked with nissan, and they are telling me it is going to cost $1,000.00 to fix the seat, and that this is a recurring problem with these cars. this seems to be a safety issue to me and a recall has been issued. i have contacted nissan corporate with this issue as well, and have received no response. i have also done online research, and this seems to be a problem with multiple years of these muranos. *tr
All of a sudden my driver's seat would not slide forward on the right side, thereby creating a grinding noise and a slight and unnatural swivel of the seat to the left. *tr
2006 nissan murano drivers seat anchor no longer works. the drivers seat in my wife's 2006 murano is tilted towards the drivers side door and rocks and appears "loose" when entering or exiting the vehicle. in my opinion there is the potential danger that the suit can more easily become fully unanchored if the vehicle is involved a collision. a. this seems like a significant safety defect in that an obvious layer of driver protection has been significantly compromised. i do not feel it's appropriate for numerous individuals to become injured before the manufacturer is required to fix the defect and urge the nhtsa to mandate that the manufacturer correct this problem. *tr
I am a 5'9" woman who weighs 150 pounds. my nissan murano drivers seat tips whenever i make a right hand turn. i took the vehicle into my nissan dealer to have them look at and possibly fix the problem and was told it would cost me $1000 to have the problem resolved due to a thin weld that broke. it seems as though this should be a safety issue that nissan would be willing to correct with low or no cost associated with it to the consumer.
2006 nissan murano broken seat bracket. i have had my car in for a seat clicking several times during 3/36 warranty and was told there is nothing wrong. i have a 2006 nissan murano with an extended warranty, several days ago the seat bracket broke when driving on the highway, this was a big surprise, i swerved several times and almost caused a major accident. i took the car to nissan and they said it was not covered under my warranty, it would cost 800 to fix i contacted their consumer affairs and they also don?t care to fix it even though they know it is a design flaw. this is very dangerous and should be an issue that requires a recall because there are many of these cars on the road and many people complaining on web forums. i am now driving a vehicle with a broken seat which is dangerous but i don't have 800.00 to get it repaired. *tr
While driving my 2006 nissan murano, i heard a snap and my seat collapsed, shifting to the left. it was very difficult to steer and i was eventually able to pull over without injuring myself or anyone else. i immediately took it to the dealership, as it was not drivable. i am being charged $1000.00 to repair, what the dealership service department states is a design defect. *tr
Broken frame assembly in driver's seat for 2006 nissan murano. normal wear & tear, no specific event caused this damage. the seat rocks and is a safety hazard. according to the dealership the seat bracket and lift motor assembly need to be replaced. the dealership estimates the repair cost for parts and labor to be $680. this is not a wearable part that is ever supposed to break, and was poorly designed. *tr
Driver seat broken: the driver seat broke at the base on the left side. the seat now leans to the left and is loose. *tr
I was my driving my 2006 nissan murano and all of a sudden the left side of the drivers seat dropped about 3 inches and almost made me drive off the road. took it into the dealer and they said, sorry but there is no recall and it would cost me about $1,000 to fix. this is a major safety issue!!!!!! *tr
Driving along and back left of drivers seat suddenly dropped down about 3-inches causing me to pull the steering wheel to the left into on coming traffic. i suspect a bolt has come loose or more likely from the numerous posts i have found online a weld has broken. this is regarding a 06 nissan murano. *tr
I have a 2006 nissan murano and the front drivers seat has a bar broken which causes the seat to shift from side to side. this is unsafe and is poor workmanship. *tr
I bought a used nissan murano 2006 at 42000 miles. everything was perfect at the beginning, two months later my seat started making very squeaky noise. until yesterday i kept driving having no idea what is going on. on my way to work my driver seat snapped on the left side. i almost crushed because it happened so suddenly. i am glad that it happened at night and there was no cars around me. apparently there is many complaints about nissan defective seat and dealers are charging close to 900$ to fix the problem that should not even occurred ever. *tr
The drivers side seat recently started to rocking toward the drivers side door which alerted me to having a problem. the sub rail that hold the seat in broken. this happens every time i get into the car the seat is leaning to the left door. i contacted the dealer in which i purchased the car, they said it is nothing they can do because the warranty is up. i should contact the manufacture nissan which i have also done . *tr
My 06 nissan murano is having an issue with the seat moving from side to side around corners and such.... i have found several forums on this and it is obviously a known issue... yet when you go to the dealer, they say tough luck and it is $900 to fix.... that is wrong... this is a known safety issue and should not cost me to have fixed... i am at risk every time my wife or myself drive the vehicle and this is something that should be fixed without charge... imagine how much it will cost if we get in an accident and we sue nissan for not fixing a known issue.... i am not asking for anything other than having my seat fixed for safety reasons..... *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
I own a 2006 nissan murano with approximately 105,000 miles. i weigh 160 pounds and do 95% of my driving on a highway. while driving on a highway, the frame supporting the driver seat cracked causing the seat to become unstable and creating a hazardous situation. as a result, i have to keep the seat in the lowest possible position, otherwise it becomes highly unstable. the dealer estimated the repairs at $1,035. the result of my research of this defect disclosed that it is a fairly common occurrence for 2006 nissan muranos. however, when i contacted nissan and explained the situation, they responded that there is no recall for this defect and they will not be able to reimburse me for any portion of the repair. *tr
While driving, the driver seat suddenly broke loose, startling the driver but thankfully kept the vehicle under control. upon inspection noticed the rear out side metal bracket is cracked in half at two places. seat is not secure and unsafe to drive. apparently there are many known issues with this. action should be taken to prevent any deaths, not after deaths occur. common sense should prevail here and recognize there is a design flaw that is a serious threat to drivers, passengers other motorists, and pedestrians. *tr
Drivers seat left rear bracket snapped in half, seat now rocks up and down 3 inches and leans right. emailed nissan corporate they had me bring it to a dealer who quoted me $1089.00 to fix, reviewed cost with nissan corporate and they have heard of the problem occurring with the murano but can't cover the repair expense, she said "keep the receipt in case we recall it you will get some money back". *tr
I heard a snapping sound while driving my 2006 nissan murano, and the drivers seat tilted back and to the left. upon getting out of the vehicle and checking the seat manually, the left backside moved up and down 1-2". i took the vehicle to a nissan dealer and was quoted $1189.87 to replace the seat adjuster assembly. the part has to be ordered so the repair has not been done yet, but will be when the part comes in, and i will keep the old part when replaced. *tr updated 09/14/09
The driver's seat in our 2006 nissan murano started flopping around. we took it to the dealer and he says that we need to spend $1000 to fix the seat. we have been on the internet and it sounds like this is a major problem with this car. it is definitely a dangerous define defect. *tr
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. *tr
Drivers seat under bottom cross bar becomes unwelded and broke. *tr
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. *tr
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. *tr
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. *tr
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. *tr
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. *tr
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!! *tr
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. *tr
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.
Drivers broke away from rail when applying brakes to avoid front-end collision. nissan will not force the oem johnson to make repairs. not good pr. nissan will not repair, either.
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. *tr
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. *tr
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. *tr
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.*tr
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) vin [xxx] 2006 murano sun visor driver side has been hanging, won't stay up or down. also, the driver seat is rocking while driving because it's tilted on the left side. *tr

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. *tr
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. *tr
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. *tr
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. *tr
The seat mechanism has broken 2 times. it may not be safe. the drivers seat seems loose something that holds the sliding parts breaks. seems to be a common problem with these vehicles. i could see where in a crash the seat may fail to hold its position. *tr
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! *tr
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. *tr
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.
Driver seat frame is broken. it appears that there are many others with this same safety issue. dealer suggest $1100 repair. *tr
