Seat Broken problems of the 2007 Nissan Murano - part 2

Seat lifter failed to raise the seat on left side side while the right side worked. Dealer states this is a common failure for the Murano (along with seat rails breaking). This is a safety issue as a driver needs the seat to be the right height to see out the windows and be able to use the mirrors. This should be covered by a recall on all affected Nissan vehicles.

1. This is safety hazard and my biggest concern driver seat, left bracket broke. I was told by Nissan dealer this is common problem but not covered by my platinum exended warranty which I purchased at team Nissan in oxnard, CA I was also told the entire seat needs to be replaced to fix this problem. I have seen online that many people have had the same part break. I would hate to think about how this seat might break completely loose in a crash causing the driver to be propelked out the front winshield & possibly killed. Nissan needs to recall & fix this part! 2. Passanger front window goes up & down randomly. . I have to keep the windows locked so it doesnt go down making my car volnerable for theft because more than a few times I came out in the morning to find it down. Also, when trying to put it up, once it closes it then rolls right back down. 3. Electric door locks sometimes dont all lock with key fob. Usually driver doir & sometimes other doors dont lock when using key fob. I have to check all four doors every time I lock the car.

I was driving on the interstate at 65 mph and heard a popping sound. My seat moved and then it started rocking. It scared me so bad that I pulled off the road to see what happened. I could tell that something serious had broken and drove back home to find that the weld had come apart. I felt like I was driving, sitting in a rocking chair. This is a serious problem and should be fixed and paid for by Nissan. I have never owned a vehicle that the seat broke like this. We have had some of our cars and trucks over 15 years! if this is not a recall problem then Nissan has lost me and my family as customers for life.

Upon entering my Murano and backing out of my driveway there was a loud snap. The seat began to tilt. Drove straight to the dealership. They informed me that the bracket that holds the seat had sheared off and the only fix was to replace the seat to the cost of about $1500. I am very glad I wasn't traveling at a high rate of speed when this occurred. It seems ridiculous that a 4 year old car would have metal underneath a seat breaking unless it was being put under tremendous weight. As an average sized person this seems completely the fault of the manufacturer.

Bracket holding drivers seat broke. Seat lifts up on left side. Nissan said they would not cover this safety issue.

The driverside seat bracket broke. There are four mounts on the driverside seat that hold the powerseat to the vehicle. The left rear of bracket of the seat bracket essential snapped. The driver weigh's no more than 190 pounds. The owner went to three Nissan dealerships and they acknowledged the issue, but Nissan has declined to make the repair. If the vehicle is in accident then there is a high likelyhood that the driver will not be held in place as forward momentum will force the driver into the steering wheel or through the windshield.

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph the driver's side seat broke. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the seat assembly needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but did not offered any assistance since the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure and current mileage was 48,000. The VIN was unavailable.

I have a 2007 Nissan Murano. The driver side left weld bracket broke on my seat. I am the only driver of this car and I am a female weighing 140 pounds. I don't think that is an excessive amount of weight for a seat to hold. This has created a huge safety hazard for me. . . And it's going to cost me around $1200 to fix. This doesn't seem right to me. . . I have seen a lot of complaints about this same issue. Why hasn't Nissan stepped in and issued a recall to make this right before someone gets seriously injured or killed, due to this issue. I'm thinking of getting rid of this car and moving on. . . I was under the impression that Nissan made a quality vehicle that was built to last and safe, but what kind of vehicle is safe that can't safely hold a 140 pound female into her seat??? wake up Nissan and do the right thing!!!!.

The driver-side seat frame broke on my 2007 Nissan Murano after normal use only. I was lucky that it broke while the car was parked. Since the seat drops suddenly when the frame breaks, this is an obvious safety hazard. Nissan did not offer to repair the seat. They told me the part alone costs $950 and I would have to pay for it before they would even order the part.

The driver seat hydraulic mechanism broke and the seat does not move forward or backward making it dangerous for the driver that needs to adjust the seat.

Drivers seat broke upon entering the vehicle. Apparently the seat frame wore out after only 75k miles and 4 years.

Two days ago, my driver's seat broke resulting in the steep tilt which pushes me towards the driver door especially when car is making a turn. It seems to be anchored on the right side but comes loose from the left rear, allowing rocking when taking turns. This car has 47k miles. This seems like a major safety issue, as it could affect a driver's control of the steering wheel, pedals, etc.

I went to sit in my drivers seat and I heard a very loud crack and my seat broke. It now rocks and leans into the direction of the driver side door. The seat literally rocks and is very unstable. If the seat comes completely unhinged during the driving process or in an accident the driver could become severely injured due to the instability. In addition, it causes my seatbelt to get stuck in betwen seat and door because seat touches the door when sitting in it. I called the dealership and this fix is approx $1000 to $1200. I noticed online and on this site that there are numerous complaints with this exact problem and nothing has been done to force the automaker to fix this problem. We need serious action quickly because this is a very expensive repair and Nissan should be liable for it as this is happening across the country and is very unsafe for the driver and other vehicles that could be affected in an accident.

1. We own a 2007 Nissan Murano. While driving at approximately 45 mph, we heard a "crack" sound in the car. It was immediately evident that the seat's back was able to move in a manner that is not normal. It was able to shift/twist to the side rather than be stable in a front-facing position. This occurred with a vehicle that was only driven under normal suburban conditions (not used off road or in extreme situations) and with approximately 55,000 miles. There were no special circumstances or unusual driving, jarring, or trauma to the vehicle or its seat in the days, months, and years leading up to this failure. 2. A metal seat bracket (seat lift frame assembly) in the front driver's seat broke on 12/20/2010. This has a consequence of the front seat being able to move about including rocking, shifting, and twisting while driving, and is especially unstable during turns or on a bumpier surface. Even with a seatbelt on, there is a serious instability to the seat. While we have not experienced a crash that caused injury, from this, we strongly feel the potential for there to be serious injury or death because the seat is not stabilized exists. . Read more...

While driving on i95 the driver's seat broke and began rocking back and forth. I managed to maintain control of the car till I got home and propped the seat up with wood blocks. I looked online and found numerous complaints of the same problem from Murano owners, 41 exact same complaints on the first site I viewed. Nissan admits no fault and recommends a $1200 repair. I called my Nissan dealer and they said they see this problem constantly, but can usually make a weld repair for about $70. I took the car to the dealer and they quadrupled the price to $300 for the weld. When I balked, the mechanic and the service manager told me I had to have the repair done as it is a safety problem. I agree, it certainly is a safety problem. Shouldn't Nissan acknowledge their design flaw before people are killed?.

During the course of normal, routine and non-commercial use of the vehicle, the driver's seat became loose and began to rock/move. Took vehicle to Nissan dealer for inspection and diagnosis. Dealer service department advised that seat mount for driver's seat was broken at a weld spot, compromising the integrity of the mounting. No collission or other abnormal event precipitated the incident. This would seem to indicate a manufacturing or design defect in the seat mount with serious safety implications.

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. The drivers seat bracket broke on the driver side. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who informed him that they would have to replace the entire carriage which would cost $1200. The manufacturer was contacted and advised him that he had to get an estimate from the dealer. He provided the manufacturer with a dealers estimate they and was told that they would contact more than two months ago and had not done so when the complaint was filed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000.

Drivers side seat frame broken. No accidents, or any other issues before it becoming broken. We need to replace the frame of the drivers seat costing $1200. There are multiple complaints on the same issues with the same model/yr. As well as the same model and different years.

2007 Nissan Murano driver seat, left corner weld is broken and rocks while turning corners or driving. If you are not sitting in the seat you can just move the seat freely and it is obvious that it is broken. Nothing was done to correct this as not covered under warranty. I feel this is a big safety concern as you are the driver of the vehicle and need to control it, meanwhile you are sitting in an unsafe seat that is broken.

Seat bracket broke, which seems to be a major safety defect in the Nissan Murano. When I attempted to adjust the seat only one side would raise, the other was broke. . . . No other event led to failure. Cant even buy an updated part, Nissan only sells the same defective part.

Nissan Murano driver seat base is broke in 2 pieces.

Driver's side seat just broke - seat rocks back and forth while driving, more noticeable when stopping and accelerating. Looked underneath seat and it appears one weld is broken, the other side's weld may be cracked.

I have a 2007 Nissan Murano s model with a broken seat linkage bracket on the lower left hand side of the drivers seat. I was 3 months out of my warranty with only 25k miles, the vehicle is moderately used and it's a big safety issue. My seat no longer stays upright and will rock on the left side.

Left side of seat frame broke. Drivers seat. Dealer quoted $1250 to repair. Not safe to drive with loose seat.

The driver's seat frame broke in my 2007 Nissan Murano. Fortunately at the time my seat snapped I had parked my car in the driveway and was getting out; had I been going down the freeway at 65 mph the result could've been much worse. After a thorough look we found a metal support bracket on the back left side of the chair snapped in two resulting in a chair that was unstable and rocked. This problem is well known to Nissan. A look at Murano forums will demonstrate that many people are having the same issue and the cost to replace or repair the seat is considerable.

Drivers seat broken track making seat rock like a rocking chair.

My 2007 Nissan Murano driver seat broke tonight it started making a noise a couple days prior and then it just started sagging down on the left side. I had to drive it home with it flopping up and down, this was very unstable and I am concerned about the safety. We looked under the seat to see if perhaps a bolt came unscrewed only to see its a metal bracket and would need to go to the dealer to be fixed. My car has 50,0000 miles from what I am seeing this is a major issue, but since no bodily injuries or deaths have occurred they are not being required to recall this problem. I think allowing them to charge consumers 1000. 00 to 1500. 00 is ridiculous. Lets not wait for people to die in order to fix this problem. I will call the dealer tomorrow to see set up the appt for the another recall I just received and will inquire about fixing the seat which I am sure I will be told its out of warranty and no recall has been issued. I hope this recall is not being overlooked because of the government bail outs for these auto dealers.

Nissan 2007 Murano - left rear anchor bracket on driver's seat broke. It appears that this is a known problem (pe08065), why is Nissan not responsible for either fixing the problem or having a cost effective fix (this could run over $1,000).

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. The driver side seat has broken. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and he was advised that it would cost $1000. 00 to replace the seat. The Nissan manufacturer was contacted, and he was advised that because the warranty expired, no assistance could be provided. The failure mileage was 46,793.

The drivers side front seat bracket broke while driving, thus allowing the seat to lean sharply to the door.

I bought a brand new 2007 Nissan Murano and it has 55,000 miles on it. As I was driving home my drivers seat made a very big pop and the frame of the seat broke into. It scared me to death and I felt so unsafe. My first thought was that I had been hit by another car. Please read all the complaint about this. I am sure this is a defect and a big safety concern. I have always had my car serviced at the dealership and have all service records on my car. Nissan will not fix my car because they say it has to many miles(55,000). The cost to repair is 1,500. 00. I have never had a seat to fall in the floor. I sure hope this safety hazard will be recalled before someone gets hurt.

My Nissan Murano drivers seat frame broke. The seat flopped around and I almost lost control of the car. I was driving on a two lane very curve road at the time. The seat dropped to the left and the seat back went backward.
