The metal frame on the power drivers seat has broken, causing a rocking-chair affect. while this is only moderately dangerous as it is now, the other pair of welds (assuming they are welds) on the seat frame can snap causing the seat to break free from the frame. a quick search on the internet finds that there are numerous nissan murano owners w/ the same issue.. and nissan dealerships are not repairing under warranty, but making "good will adjustments" if the individual dealership is so inclined. in my opinion this is a significant safety risk and needs to be looked into. thanks. *tr
Driver's seat on 2005 nissan murano became wobbly-loose during course of driving. *tr
The driver's seat on my 05 murano moves forward when braking, and moves backward when accelerating. play in the seat is approximately 3/4". the movement occurs 100% of the time and has been getting worse over time. the nylon drive gear is worn. the dealer claims it is a safety issue and has to be replaced, but they require replacement of the entire seat frame. the cost is $1100. *tr
Driver seat left rear bracket broke. seat leans to the left and is only secure in 3 of the four corners . seat easily lifts off of the left rear. seems like a serious problem if an accident was to occur. with all the complaints on the same issue i cannot believe this has not already been a recall. *tr

Driver side seat frame broke for no reason. seat frame needed to be replaced. *tr
The driver seat on my 2005 nissan murano broke for no reason on the mount that attaches it to the floor causing the entire seat to sway when accelerating and making turns. the vehicle has only 65000 miles and in spite of it being past the warranty period, i believe that the manufacturer should be responsible for defective merchandise that are design-related and pertaining to safety. the local dealership won't repair it since nissan corporation declined to pay for it. they however insist that i get the entire seat frame replaced at a cost of approximately $1200 dollars. the local dealership has received 3 cases just like this and only one of them was accepted by nissan. i don't know what my rights are in this case but a defective seat is different from other moving parts on the vehicle that wear with time. *tr
One of the four mounting points on the driver seat of my 2005 nissan murano has failed. the rear-outboard mount has cracked and broke in two pieces. the driver seat is no longer safely secured to the body of the car. numerous members of the nissanmurano.org website have reported this very same problem. the dealers have refused to address the problem and are asking for just over $1,000 to fix it. *tr the consumer stated the seat anchor was broken. updated 05/20/09.*jb
Message to all nissan murano drivers, drivers seat is built on a welded frame, and even though the vehicle has a reverse camera we all still tend to look over our shoulders to check whist reversing, (which we should!) putting pressure on the frame of the seat and causing it to break the seat welding and causing a mal-function which in the majority of cases will not be at very high speeds, a further problem occurs when drivers don't realize and continue to drive, creating a much greater danger. *tr
Drivers seat is broken on 2005 nissan murano. there doesn't seem to be a recall in place when it should be. there are many people with the same issue. and it is clearly a design/manufacture issue. *tr
Seat frame seperation in the left rearcorner of driver seat. seat frame is not connected welded joints have broken. unsafe to drive in this condition i bought this car new in 2005 it has 80,000 miles on it and has never been in an accident. fed government should make this a recall now before someone gets killed! *tr
Drivers side seat bracket is broken, so that seat is no longer stable presenting a safety hazard. *tr
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. while driving 40 mph, the driver's seat fell backwards with a loud snap. the contact swerved and crossed into another lane. he was able to avoid a crash. he pulled onto the shoulder to check the seat and noticed that the seat metal support bracket was split in half. the dealer is charging $932 for the repair. a report was filed with the manufacturer. the manufacturer stated that the vehicle's warranty was expired; therefore, they would not assist. the failure and current mileages were 72,000.
I own a 2005 nissan murano w/ power driver seat. i have found that the seat attach point on the left rear is broken due to a bad design. the seat is attached to the seat rail with approx. a 1 inch x 1/2 inch x.060 thick sheet metal part. there is a 90 degree bend at this point, and this is where it has broken. i have taken picture of the area in question, and can send if needed. with the seat not properly attached to the seat rail and the car, it now is a safety issue. if this part breaks with normal use, i wonder what would happen in a moderate crash. how much more bodily injury is their when the seat is no longer attached to the car during the course of a accident viewing auto web sites, i see this is a common problem. i believe that nissan should issue a recall for this defect.. i hope you can help cameron j. brewer *tr
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. while attempting to enter the highway from a stop, the frame underneath the driver's seat failed. the contact was thrown into the window and door. the current mileage was 41,422 and failure mileage was 41,389.
My 2005 nissan murano has a broken front seat frame. the dealership says it will cost me $900 to fix. i had noticed a lot of "creaking noises" over the last several months and thought it was a squeaky spring in the seat. i was going to have them look at it during a service appointment next week, but as i was driving yesterday, the seat basically came apart and was rocking to the left side , especially noticeable as i made a left hand turn. it felt as if i was going to fall right out of my seat. this is very dangerous and i am unable to drive the car based on this issue. the dealership said there is nothing else that they can do and that it is not covered under warranty. after reading on a chat line (see below) http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f14ec7a/0 i realize that this issue is very widespread amongst other murano owners and they share in the same concerns as myself. bottom line is, is that my car is undriveable at this point! *tr
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. while driving less than 70 mph, the entire driver's side seat completely collapsed. the contact was able to drive to his residence; however, the seat continued to slide back and forth. the dealer stated that the entire frame failed and could not be repaired for less than $1,000. the vin was unknown. the failure and current mileages were less than 60,000. updated 03/17/09 *lj the consumer also stated the heated seat stopped working after 1 year. updated 03/17/09. *jb
I have a 2005 nissan murano. the drivers seat has broken off the track from normal use. this makes it very difficult to drive. i have asked the dealer if this was covered under warranty. it is not covered nor is it a recall. even though they have told me they have had several 2005's come in with broken seats. from several websites i see that this is a large problem for nissan. yet, they will not recall or assist in repair cost. i think nissan is well aware that this is a problem and they are trying to avoid a recall for as long as they can. i feel this is a real safety issue. *tr
My driver's side seat no longer operates with the powered seat adjustments, and is stuck in one position. at first, it would veer to the right, but now is stuck in one position that is not the best position for me, causing me concern for my safety on the road. when i had it looked at the nissan dealership, they informed me that the cost would be @ $1000. as i researched on-line, i see several complaints about the very same thing. this needs to be recalled and fixed to avoid accidents. *tr
The driver's seat in my 2005 nissan murano creak and move when turning. i have looked at a couple of forums and this problem appears to be a common one for these vehicles from the years 2003 to 2006. my concern is that the vehicle may become unsafe to drive as some people are reporting that there seat is shifting around while driving. *tr
Drivers seat broke, and is not safe. bracket on left side is broken. *tr
A metal bar under the rear section of the driver seat that helps stabilize the seat for all of the power functions broke when i was sitting in it. the seat takes very little abuse and this metal failure causes the seat to move from side to side which is not safe and could be any issues in an accident. *tr
Weld on automated front seat broke. this car has not been in an accident. an accident with a loose seat could have been potentially fatal. the local nissan dealer charged several hundred dollar to fix an issue that has happened repeatedly and is an obvious design defect. *tr
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. the frame of the seat failed, bounced around, and partially collapsed. the seat was repaired. the dealer stated that there were no safety recalls and the contact would be responsible for the repair costs. the vin was unknown. the failure mileage was 81,000.
On my 2005 nissan murano the support linkage for the power seat has broke . seats do not break in accidents and this seat broke during normal use. seats in cars never become disconnected form the vehicle. *tr
Without any apparent reason, the power driver's seat in my 2005 nissan murano began slightly tilting back and forth, similar to a rocking chair motion. dealer stated the whole seat baseframe needs replacement. cost of repair $800 plus. of course the car has 40,000 miles on it and is 4000 miles over warranty. i have never heard of such an item needing repair on a vehicle with so few miles and never having been involved in a collision. seems like a design flaw and should be replaced by nissan at no cost to the consumer. through research on many internet sites, it seems this problem is more prevalent than i thought. nissan should be made to issue a recall before someone get seriously injured or killed. *tr
I own a 2005 nissan murano. the frame on the drivers seat has broken in the back left side. the dealer inspected it and said that although they have seen many of these it isn't recalled and i am out of warranty so they will not replace it. it is obviously a structural problem. there are thousands of people on line with the same problem. i was quoted $1000 to repair. that seems outrageous to pay when it is a defect in the part the used. *tr
The driver seat on my nissan murano 2005 is tilting off the track to the right. it is dangerous as the driver can loose control of the vehicle and cause a crash. nissan should have a recall of the driver seat to fix the problem. *tr
The driver's side seat frame snapped in two places while the car was not even in motion. lakeland nissan dealer first said it was covered under a tsb, but after taking it to them they said it was not covered because the mileage was over 36,000 mi. even though no one mentioned this previously. lakeland nissan dealer then quoted $997.00 to replace the seat frame. this appears to be a major public safety risk and manufacturer's defect, at the very least a poor design. i have researched this on the web and found similar complaints on multiple occasions. i would really like to review the initial crash test results from nissan to see how this escaped detection. (maybe it didn't) what i'd like to know is why there is not an investigation on this? does someone have to be killed or injured of it before the government acts? a recall is warranted in my opinion for this problem. this ends my customer loyalty to nissan. i will never purchase another one or use they're dealership service dept. again. *tr
The drivers seat bracket failed and the seat is unstable, leaning to the left. the seat actually moves while you are sitting in it. i believe this is very dangerous. the car was bought new, and the repair cost is in excess of $1000. what guarantee is there that the replacement seat will not fail as well. it appears that this is not an isolated problem. *tr
Driver side seat in my 2005 nissan murano broke without warning. car was parked at the time. the seat tilted to the left and was unstable. i am unable to adjust the seat to the proper height for the best driving position. nissan has refused to cover repair or replacement costs even though the vehicle is covered under extended warranty. *tr
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. while driving approximately 35 mph, the driver's seat frame was loose and tilted to the left. there was no prior warning to this malfunction. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and they stated that the frame was damaged and needed to be replaced. the vehicle has not been repaired. the contact was concerned of the safety risk involved. the vin was unknown. the failure mileage was 50,000 and current mileage was 55,000.

The driver's seat of my 2005 nissan murano rocks from side-to-side and the left side of the seat sits lower. took the car in to the dealership, they said that the weld broke on the seat frame of the drivers seat. fixing this is not covered by any of nissan's warranties. cost of repairs: $607.81 for a new seat, $321 for labor and $35 to expedite the shipping of the part (only have one car in the family, waiting 5 days was not an option). *tr
Under normal use i am a 195 lb. guy who drives my 2005 nissan murano to work and for errands. i have never put the seat under any type of excessive wear but the back support bar on the bottom broke. this is definitely and engineering flaw in the seat but nissan refused to replace it. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 nissan murano. the contact stated that the front driver's seat broke and had stopped squeaking noise. later, while driving less than 70 mph, the seat frame failed. the dealer stated that due to the wear in the seat they would not make repairs under warranty because it expired. the dealer also stated that the defect could not be repaired and the entire seat component needed to be replaced at an estimated cost of a little less than $1,000. the failure mileage was 95,000 and current mileage is 104,700. updated 10/16/08 *bf the dealer stated the frame had worn out. updated 10/17/08. *jb
Driver seat metal frame that holds seat in is broken (nissan calls it a seat adjustment frame). the frame broke at about 40,000+ miles give or take. when you turn the corner or lean to one side while driving, the entire seat rocks back and forth, it lifts up on one side and falls back down. it's just a matter of time before the stress put on the opposite side breaks it too. this is every time it is driven, regardless of speed. *tr
Drivers seat broken. possibly a broken bracket. *tr
I am the owner of a 2005 nissan murano which currently has 6,700 miles.at at 4,000 miles i noticed the front driver seat started rocking from left to right. i took the car in to the dealership several times and i was told that i have to pay for the repair. after researching the issue online, i realize that hundreds of owners experience the same problem with their driver front seat. i think that this is a very very serious safety issue because if the event of an accident, front on or rear end collision, the driver could be easily ejected from the front seat resulting in an instant fatality. as a responsible citizen, car owner and out of concern from the driving public, i think a recall should be issued for this defect. please see a number of forums reporting the issue. http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f14ec7a http://www.nissanmurano.org/forums/forumdisplay/f-66.html http://www.www.carcomplaints.com/nissan/murano/2005/accessories-interior/seat_is_broken.shtml http://www.my3cents.com/showreview.cgi?id=41775. *tr
My 05 murano, just 33k miles...the driver's seat has become detached and the service department told me it may have been a welding defect. when i asked about the cost for repair and what was involved, parts and labor are approx. $1,000. they said i need to replace the entire seat bottom. said the assembly just comes apart and is not repairable. he told me even with an extended warranty, this still would not be covered. i have escalated a claim with the consumer affairs department at nissan and they are supposed to contact me sometime today. so far, i've been told that the powertrain warranty will not cover this as well. i can't believe how many complaints are on the internet for this same problem and safety issue. this should definitely be a recalled item for nissan. *tr
