The power driver's seat shifts slightly and makes a clicking noise. my nissan dealer identified the problem, however refused to fix it under my extended warranty. the cost of the fix was over $500. *tr
My 2003 murano drivers seat was repaired in 2005 for the rocking symptom i paid $660.00. four years later, the bracket on the seat frame broke again, and this time the dealer charged $1100 to repair it. when i asked them whether it was the same parts that failed, they said no. turns out that was not true. in 2005, the dealership followed the tsb for the seat repair which involved replacing two parts - 87458-ar06a (lifter link assembly) and 87454-ca61a (lift motor). now, those two parts have been combined into one part number - 87450-ca68a. actually, the most recent part is 87450-ca68b (i guess b suggests a revision). in either case, the dealer argued that since its a different part number, its a different part. its actually the same thing. i filed a complaint with nna consumer affairs and they denied any warranty assistance even though the issue originally manifested during the warranty period. what is quite clear is that the drivers seat issue is a very common one. a search of nhtsa reveals hundreds of cases where the seat has failed on 2003-2006 muranos. nissanmurano.org also has a long running thread on the failure. *tr
The framework on the drivers seat of my 2003 nissan murano cracked and broke. the seat wobbles. replacement is $900 for a broken weld. *tr
Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle's driver seat moved about a half inch forward when the vehicle stopped. the seat was adjusted electronically. the service dealer ordered a new part to fix the issue. the vehicle was not involved in an accident that would have damaged the seat.
Driver seat track has been replaced 2xs and still has rocking motion problem, very annoying nissan might as well put thumb tacs on the steering wheels of their cars if they find this problem acceptable. *jb
The drivers seat in my 2003 murano had an excessive rocking problem since purchased new and proceeded to get worse and worse until i could not take it anymore.well nissan replaced the whole track assembly on july 20, 2004. to my surprise the new one, only being 3 weeks old is already as bad as the original one but now it makes an excessive creeking noise.maybe the 3rd one will be the charm ?????*ak
My altinator broke on my 2003 nissan murano with about 8500 miles on the whole car.*ak
Cloth seats generate static shock after exiting the vehicle almost every time. fear a potential cause of ignitiion when fueling.*ak
Tl*the contact owns a 2003 nissan murano. the contact stated that the front driver seat tilted towards the left whenever the seat was occupied. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where they detected that the metal support bar underneath the seat broke in half. the technician informed him that the support bar could not be welded together; and the seat frame needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 75,000.
Driver's seat has excessive play in the track. when you stop the seat moves forward and when you start to drive it moves back. it's very noticeable. has gotten worse, i now have 11000 miles on it. afraid that if in an accident that the force would force it to break. *jb
