Front Seat Power Adjust problems of the 2007 Nissan Murano

While adjusting the drivers side power seat, something in the power seat mechanism appears to have broke and the seat in now uneven, and feels like it is coming off the rails especially when going into a curve, where you must hang onto the steering wheel for balance which causes undue anxiety for fear of losing control. The seat feels like it is off the rails, and when I use the power seat adjuster, it only lifts one side of the seat. This happened over 2 years ago at about 45,0000 miles. I now have 70,000 miles. I have learned if you keep the seat adjusted so that its closest to the floor, then there is less of a feeling that the seat is coming off, than if the seat is adjusted to a higher position. I have chosen not to get this repaired solely due to the $1,100 expense which it appears to cost to repair this safety issue. It's an annoying issue, it reminds me of the Ford I had as a teenager that I had to use rope to keep the driver door shut.

Driver's side power seat will not move forward or backward anymore. It is stuck at the far back position. Nissan says that the part replacement would cost around $1000 plus labor. This is not a part that is supposed to wear out and too expensive. It is a safety hazard not to be able to move the seat forward, but I can't afford to spend $1300 to fix this issue. From a forum online, it appears that many, many people have had this same problem with the Nissan Murano driver's seat and Nissan is refusing to accept this as a design flaw and fix them.

2007 Nissan Murano sl power seat drivers side seat bracket broke at weld causing the seat to rock back and forth dangerously. This is an item I have never heard of breaking. In my opinion, Nissan should recall the Muranos and fix them free of charge. I will be fixing the problem at carmax with my extended warranty, hopefully.

Driver's power seat suddenly started rocking forward and backward as you were slowing or accelerating. Popping and squeaking noises accompanied the rocking motion. As the seat would rock you had to adjust pressure on the brake pedal or accelerator to compensate for the movement of the seat. It was unnerving to operate the vehicle with the seat moving. I had to hold onto the grab handle over the driver's door to help control the movement of the seat. In doing this I was unable to keep both hands on the steering wheel. If I tried to keep both hands on the steering wheel, when the seat would move I would tend to jerk the wheel from side ot side as I tried to stop the seat from moving. Appointment was made at local Nissan service department. I learned that Nissan is familiar with this safety issue and have issued a technical service bulletin. Parts were ordered and seat was repaired. I am concerned that if normal use will cause the inferior designed seat to break what would happen in a crash. It appears TSB is for model years 2003 thru 2007 . Possibly the seat design was improved for '08 and later models but Nissan is unwilling to issue a recall to cover this safety issue.

I was driving my car home from work when I turned a corner and my seat came off the floor. I wasn't going fast so I was able to keep control. The car is in excellent condition and only as 20k miles on it. I did some research online and found this to be a common problem due to faulty design of the power seats. Depending on the situation, this could definitely lead to an accident and serious harm since the seat is not securely fastened to the chassis of the car. The fact that Nissan won't cover the cost to fix the issue ($1000 part plus $400 labor) because it is out of warranty is ridiculous. A car seat should not break at all let alone after 20k miles. This is a potential a serious issue that needs to be addressed.

The driver side power seat on my 2007 Nissan Murano will only activate the left side. The right side is locked in one position. I took the vehicle to the dealer who quoted $1,100 to replace the entire seat assembly. The vehicle had less than 30,000 miles at the time of the seat motor failure but is out of the 3 year warranty period. I feel this is a safety issue as the seat cannot be adjusted to the driver’s specific needs.

On the driver's power seat, the seat frame breaks and the seat itself becomes unstable, rocking back and forth several inches. The seat's instablilty is noticable on corners when in motion. This is apparently a fairly common occurance as both the dealership and various car repair shops are familiar. Nissan's answer to this safety issue is to charge owners aproximately $1,000 to install a replacement seat frame.

Drivers side power seat on my 2007 Nissan Murano is broken. The left side of the seat moves fine but the right side is locked in one position. I had the problem diagnosed by an authorized Nissan dealer and was informed that a plastic gear on the side right side of the seat used to move the seat from back to front is damaged and needs replaced. This plastic gear is probably less than $5 to manufacture but I was told by the dealer that the whole track needs to be replaced at a cost of $750 (not including labor). There are numerous complaints on the internet regarding this issue.

Driver power seat of Nissan Murano breaks for no reason while I was driving the vehicle. I am only 179 lbs. Left rear bracket broke and seat becomes unstable. It is shaking from left to right and front to rear. When press the brake pedal, seat leans to the back. It also may be dangerous because seat has a safety bag.

The power driver seat has a "weak link". It's not a "track" it's a bracket that was not designed strong enough and eventually shears off at two points driver seat is loose or broken bracket part number 87450-ca684 was the "offending" part per my invoice.
