Front Seat Power Adjust problems of the 2006 Nissan Murano

I've been having a problem with the power driver's seat in my '03 Nissan Murano. It is loose and shifts side to side when I turn corners. I contacted my dealer and they said that the lifter link slide assembly was broken and would need to be replaced at the tune of $600. There is a TSB (technical service bulletin) out on this exact problem. Since my vehicle is out of warranty, Nissan north America has refused to fix it and therefore, own up to this safety issue. I would hate to see what would happen during a crash. . If you have had this same thing happen with your Nissan power seat,.

Drivers side power seat broken. This is the second Murano I have owned with the same problem. I have noticed online that this is a very common occurrence. Definite safety issue.

The driver's side power seat somehow broke under normal wear and tear. The seat leans to the left side and wobbles to the front and back. Therefore having to accelerate, decelerate, turn corners and go over rough road causes the seat to move all over the place. I believe this causes a safety issue while trying to drive. This is a Nissan design flaw that should be on a recall notice and corrected by Nissan free of charge to the consumer. There are numerous complaints regarding this seat and for many, the dealership wants to charge some outrageous price to get the problem corrected. Another issue is the driver's side visor which flops down unexpectedly while driving for no apparent reason. When returned to it's normal place, it will fall down. This causes another safety issue while trying to drive. The visibility is compromised and an accident could very well occur. Please address these design flaws for recalls.

Driver power seat unable to move. Gets stuck at one location so can not move to adjust for proper driving location. Also possible airbag issue since can get seat stuck up against steering wheel. No way to adjust seat once motor stops working. Even paid to get repaired the other month and now it has stopped working again. Only thing good this time is that the seat is stuck further back and not up against the steering wheel. That is a dangerous problem. Check out Nissan forums to see how many are having problems with driver seat motors stopping.

2006 Nissan Murano. Front driver's 8-way power seat. My wife told me that one side of the seat, the right (transmission selector) side, was jammed and would not move forward and back causing the seat to "pivot" in position. I could not see an foreign object stuck under the seat that would cause this so I took it to the local Chrysler dealer. They told me that the gears that mesh together to direct the movement of the seat were stripped and that the entire 8-way rack mechanism had to be replaced, to the tune of over $900. 00!!. The service tech said that this was a common problem on the Murano and is usually caused when the driver leans back hard against the back of the seat and lifts up his or her fanny, as when entering the vehicle and adjusting pant legs or a dress before starting to drive (something everyone does all the time). After reluctantly paying to have this work done I took the old seat rack home and took it apart. Sure enough, two gears on the right-hand side of the rack were stripped of several worm-teeth, however, the gears themselves are less than 1/2" in diameter and made of cheap nylon! you would think that these would be made of metal. Also, the gears themselves could be removed quite easily from the assembly. I don't understand at all why the entire seat assembly had to be replaced except as a profit maker for the dealer. After seeing all of the exact same complaints on this particular vehicle on various car complaint web-sites it is obvious that Nissan should be required to recall these vehicles and replace these defective gears.

I purchased a used 2006 Nissan Murano in March of this year. Yesterday I was getting into my car to go home from work and was placing my laptop computer bag in the backseat and rested my hand on the driver's seat. The seat was noticeably unstable and unsecured. I investigated under the seat to determine whether or not it had become detached from the track, it had not, the power seat still moves back and forth. I drove it home with my seat unlevel and my husband took a look and discovered the thin metal support rod had broke at the connection point. This has never happened to me on a car ever. I am very disappointed that a more expensive car would miss a step so critical to comfort.

2006 Nissan Murano driver's power seat frame broken. Seat tilts to the left and not securely fastened to floor. Safety concern as frame snapped and broke while I was driving. Safety concern if I were to be in an accident . There is a technical service bulletin but I can't figure out the part needed to fix seat. Called local dealer and they are unaware of any issues. I have researched thousands of complaints for the models in 2003---2007. I think there needs to be a recall due to safety issues. * js.
