| I have a 2006 nissan murano. approx. 6 months ago the driver's seat would start squeaking whenever i made any turns or drove over bumps. it sounds like plastic grinding. on 12/12/08, i sat in the seat and the frame broke. the driver's seat now rocks from side to side whenever you turn. this is a safety issue as your feet will come off the gas or break whenever you turn. i went on the web, and there are several public forums from murano owners complaining about the same issue. nissan is aware of the problem, but will not take any any action. the local nissan dealer will only replace the whole seat for $1,200.00 and not try to fix the root of the problem. if they want you to buy a whole new seat, what is to prevent this from occurring again? unacceptable. nissan needs to recall this seat, because it is a safety issue. *tr | |||

| The drivers seat of my 2006 nissan murano cracked at the weld in the frame causing the seat to drop at a steep angle in the back. fortunately the incident occurred when i was getting in the vehicle rather than when i was driving as it surely would have caused a extremely dangerous and undriveable situation. the dealership service manager concurred that it was a manufacturing defect in my vehicle, however nissan would not cover the cost of the repair, nor the cost of replacement transportation while the appropriate parts were ordered and installed which spanned several days. i am extremely displeased with the experience of dealing with nissan consumer affairs department. | |||

| 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 | |||
