Seat Broken problems of the 2007 Nissan Murano - part 1

Drivers seat frame broke while driving making it impossible to drive vehicle safely! incident happened while driving vehicle on street making a turn!.

The seat bracket broke. Really a seat bracket that breaks from fatigue of entering and leaving the vehicle?!? safety concern sun visor no longer holds its position due to plastic that wears out. Safety issue. Transmission failure at just over 100,000 miles. Reports all over the web about this. So common, and so expensive. Major safety issue. Nissan has done nothing to address these issues that are so common with all of these models. It is not just me, there is report after report on the web. All the same issues.

"Nissan Murano" drivers seat left side seat mount bracket that mounts to floor boards cracked and completely broke causing me to swerve into on coming traffic. A head on collision was closely avoided. I contacted ken (xxxx) Nissan in medina ohio and they said that Nissan motors will do nothing about it because it is not a safety issue and will do nothing about it. This issue I feek is an obvious safety issue and the vehicle shoud be recalled. I has the seat welded so it would work again but the weld eventually failed. Seat is now broke.

Driver's seat - the bracket in the rear left that supports the seat broke while driving. Air bags - the air bag light is on and will not go away. When I purchased the vehicle in Feb. 2016, the dealer assured me it was just a glitch in the display. Engine - started running rough about a week ago, while we were headed out of town. Cancelled that trip. Threw a "cylinder 3 misfire" code. My husband replaced that plug and coil and it continued to run rough. Today, it overheated and started dumping fluid on the ground. The suspension is also failing. When we hit a bump or pothole, it feels like the front end is going to fall off. I loved this car when we bought it and when it runs right, but right now, I am completely disgusted. I have only owned it for two months. I feel like we were robbed and we aren't in the financial standing to replace it.

I was going down the highway and heard a noise and my driver seat went back and toward the window. I had to regain control of my car because when the seat frame broke I swerved and my foot fell off the gas pedal. When reading online I found that there was an investigation but no recall was issued. I also found that I am not the only one to have this problem. Please revisit this issue and do something to protect not only the driver/passenger of the vehicle but the other motorists on the road before someone gets seriously hurt or worse. If it was my inexperienced 18 year old driving there would have surely been an accident.

Drivers seat bracket broke while entering the car. I know 3 people with Muranos that this happened to . Should be a recall. The seat now wiggles freely all the time.

Got in the vehicle and the seat frame broke (driver's seat - left rear). This is going to happen with every 2003-2007 sometime. Nissan needs to recall. This is a safety issue. Someone will be killed if this happens while driving. This is a $1,200 repair from the dealer. I didn't get it fixed yet. Help!!.

Sat in car to take daughter to school. Heard a loud clunk and my driver's side seat broke. The rear bracket came loose and now my seat wobbles/bounces all over the place. Over bumps it's worse. Turning a corner sends me up against the door. I find myself grabbing the steering wheel for balance and that causes my car to swerve. Hubby thought I was exaggerating until he sat in seat. Looked online and saw many similar complaints. Called Nissan and the service advisor said it's a common problem and I should call Nissan to see if they will cover parts. It's a safety issue!!! if Nissan is aware there's this big of a problem why no recall? because no one has died?? seems that's the only way they will make this right. Right now I'm using the "fix" the guy before me used. . . . Piece of wood under the seat to keep it stable enough to drive. Quoted $1700 parts and labor.

I have a 2007 Nissan Murano and as I was driving the seat broke causing me to almost slide off the seat. I called Nissan to make an appointment to have it fixed and was told that it would cost me $1500. 00. I decided to go home and check if there had been any recall on this part and was shocked to see letter after letter from Nissan Murano owner with the same problem. This I feel is very dangerous and should have been addressed with a recall from the dealer. Someone is going to get really hurt if they are riding down the highway at 65 miles an hour and the seat breaks. I hope by writing to you this can be avoided.

When I entered the vehicle, the bracket on the driver's seat broke, causing the seat to rock and tilt to the left. After researching the issue online, it appears to be a rather common occurrence for this model year. Apparently Nissan issued a TSB on the problem, but did not issue a recall. If the driver's seat is not secure, how effective can the safety belt be in a crash? it is a real danger, and should be recalled.

While driving the driver seats bracket broke. Very unsafe. Seat wobbled and when coming to a stop the seat went forward. This is insane for s seat to just snap while driving on the highway. At 65000 miles a seat should not just brake like this did and when I brought it to the dealer they refused to fix because the warranty on the car was expired over mileage. This should be a Nissan recall with all the complaints they have with the same issue. To fix this seat was 1,000. 00. Shame on you Nissan.

Bracket holding seat broke. I did not lose control of the car, but it did startle me. Upon doing some research, there is an issue with 2003-2008 Muranos and the seat bracket. The manufacturer has their head in the sand on this. There will be accident / loss of control at some point.

I was driving and the left side support on my seat just broke, causing me to be off balance, and I almost lost control of the vehicle. This is a major safety issue as someone sitting in a rocking chair isn't able to properly maneuver the steering wheel, since they pull on the wheel for stability when the chair support breaks.

I got into my parked car and as soon I sat in the seat, the back left support of the seat base broke and dropped about 6 inches. The seat now rocks when you sit in it. This is a very big safety hazard for driving as there is no stability in the seat and moves around turns and over bumps. If I had been driving when this happened there surely would have been a crash.

I got into my car to drive somewhere, and noticed that my seat was loose and shifting back and forth - from side to side. I thought that there was a loose bolt, and so I took the car to the dealership on 2/21, and I was told that it was a broken lifter assembly - and that the repair would be $625. I immediately asked if there was a recall because the definitely appeared to be a "safety issue", and I was told that there was not. I have done my research on line, and I see where this is and has been a very common complaint for several years, for what appears to be for models 2003 thru 2007, at least. I found pages and pages of complaints from many people. We all have the same opinion that this is a manufacturers defect, and should be repaired at the expense of Nissan. I have owned many different models of cars in my lifetime, and a seat breaking in this manner has never happened. My husband is a firefighter, and his first response was concern that the way the seat shifts now, could cause a seatbelt to injure or possibly decapitate a person during a car crash. He has seen many unusal things happen in his career, so I don't believe this is far fetched from the reality of something terrible to happen to a person driving their car with a broken driver's seat. I was prepared to pay for a bolt to be replaced, not to have to pay for my seat to be completely repaired, in order to keep me and my family safe. A seat should be made to endure the day in and day out of the weight of people - large and small, for the life of the vehicle. I am under 200lbs, and my husband is 250lbs. We bought the car with the mindset that it would be strong and durable to last for many, many years to come, without the worries that our seats could break so easily. Thank you for your time.

Went to adjust drivers seat and heard a noise and realized I couldn't move seat after that. When ever I hit a bump in the road the seat would hit hard as if the spring was not longer there. Track broke and whole seat had to be replaced. I replaced with a used seat and now one year later (1/12/15) the track on this seat has broken again. I would like to be reimbursed the $584 from last years fix and get a new seat this year as this has not been fixed yet.

Drivers seat rail is broken and rocks back and forth.

Driving down the road at 45 mph and heard a snapping noise and felt my drivers seat wobble. Was able to pull into the parking lot of my grandson's school and got out of the car and noticed that my drivers seat was titled to the left and rocking back and forth. Had the car towed to the dealership and was told that the steel frame of the seat needed to be completely replaced. Fortunately for me that I did not have an accident where I could have seriously been injured or worse yet that I injured someone else. The cost for the repair was $1450. I contacted Nissan customer care who for assistance with funding of this repair and was told that seats are only warranted for 3 years and they were unwilling to provide any monetary assistance. I do not consider this as being normal wear and tear of a vehicle and am extremely disappointed that Nissan is not willing to stand behind their product. I appealed this decision with Nissan customer care and they are still unwilling to assist me with funding. What a shame, they have certainly lost a valued Nissan customer. Checking the internet, specifically your website NHTSA, it appears that there have been an extreme large number of complaints of the Murano drivers seats breaking. Why has this issue not been defined as a factory defect and a real safety issue. How many complaints will it take, to make Nissan to issue a recall. Someone needs to do something and am hoping that NHTSA will do an investigation and force Nissan to take this issue seriously. A car with only 69 thousand miles on it and 7 years old should not need a drivers seat replaced unless involved in an accident. Hope to hear something favorable in the near future. Not that this matter, but I am a senior us citizen and I do not intend to be treated in this manner, nor should anyone else. Please help.

Broken seat frame. While approaching a red light the driver's front seat had a snapping sound and I began leaning toward the left. Seat now rocks and leans toward the left.

The very common issue of the driver's side seat broke and is not properly adhered to the frame of the car. This possesses a vital threat to operating this vehicle. I would ask that this be considered for a recall from Nissan as this is a huge safety issue for Murano owners.

Driver's seat frame broke/snapped while driving approximately 40 mph on a surface street. Upon inspection, the entire seat was wobbling and not sturdy. Vehicle was taken immediately to dealer and was subsequently informed by the manufacturer that this was not covered under warranty.

My driver seat has broken to the point where it rocks back and tilts forward. It looks like the rear/left side bracket that holds the seat to the floor has broke. The seat will randomly shift around while driving. I feel the seat would not hold me properly in a accident.

The drivers seat bracket failed prematurely. The drivers seat broke towards the back left corner closest to the passenger door and the seat currently rocks corner to corner. The welding of the frames cross member snapped apart while in park, right before putting the vehicle in drive. This issue could have happened while driving and is a huge concern and apparently (according to others online) is a common defect/flaw of the 2003-2007 Muranos.

While driving to work I heard a loud pop inside the car and all of a sudden the drivers seat leaned to the back left and I had to brace myself and the car from swerving. As I continued to drive the seat kept rocking side to side on the left left. When I got to work and parked I noticed the seat was tilted and lose. This is extremely dangerous to anyone driving as I almost got into an accident when bracing myself as a result of the seat breaking. This is a serious safety issue that needs to be repaired by Nissan.

I purchased my 2007 Murano in August 2011. From the date of purchase, I've had multiple issues. The brakes have been a constant issue, I've had to replace the front struts (before 60,000 miles) and was told that I need to replace the rear shocks as soon as possible, the driver side visor is broken, 2 months ago it began leaking oil for some unknown reason, and now the front seat is broken, causing the left hand side of the seat to 'float'. I weigh 140 lbs so it's not like I've caused any undue stress on the seat. The vehicle currently has 70,000 miles. I cannot afford to make all the repairs - but cannot sell it until I do make them (who in their right mind wants to purchase a car that needs $2500 poured into it for repairs, with new issues occurring on a regular basis). It's a shame that Nissan can produce something of such poor quality and not be forced to stand behind their product. This is the worst car I've ever owned. If I can ever get rid of this it I'll never own another Nissan.

Driver seat is broken, seat is rocking. No warning that the seat would give out. Got in my car to go to work and noticed that the seat would move. It does not feel safe at all.

Seat rail broke.

Drivers side seat frame broke!! this is very dangerous and I see it has happened many times. There should be a recall.

I got in my car after work, started driving down the street, and I heard a loud pop sound (like a bar in the seat broke/popped) from the drivers seat of my vehicle. Right afterwards my seat started rocking and leaning to the left. I pushed the electrical seat buttons to make sure the power was still working, but now the seat is rocking.

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that while driving 35 mph the driver seat broke causing it to rock from side to side. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated there was no recall and to repair the seat would be at a cost to him. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who offered to pay for half of the cost of the repairs. Also, the manufacturer advised the contact to contact NHTSA and filed a complaint. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 117,125.

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that while driving, the driver seat failed. The contact stated that she heard a loud noise under the seat and the seat would rock back and forth while driving. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for inspection and they stated that the left bracket on the seat had broke and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired.

First problem was the driver side visor which kept flopping down causing a hazard blocking the driver's vision. Second problem happen later, the driver seat broke while driving, left rear bracket broke. Call and wrote to Nissan customer service and was told both problems were out of warranty and they would not honor my claim. This is the third Nissan that I have owned, and will never buy another Nissan product. For a vehicle that has less than 100k miles to have these problems and for Nissan not to cover the problem shows a true lack of customer service.

While driving, the seat broke and sunk to the left causing me to swerve on the freeway into an adjacent lane.

While taking a left hand turn, the drivers side seat broke. . Making it lean to the left. I fell into the door and swerved into the other lane. The seat now rocks back and forth like a rocking chair.

Drivers side seat frame broke. The left rear bracket snapped while I was driving on freeway!!! this appears to be a common issue that Nissan knows about. There should be a recall, as this is extremely dangerous!.
