1 Seats problem

Failure Date: 11/28/2023

Passenger seat sensor light for air bag stays lit, flashing 1 steady and 5 bursts. Shows airbag off even with adult sitting in passenger seat.

2 Seats problem

Failure Date: 10/04/2019

Air bag warning light started flashing and does not go off. Dealer (lancaster Nissan) tested the vehicle and stated that sensor or seat sensor could be bad. They were able to turn off warning light, but it started again the next time I drove the car. Estimates to replace sensor ($1,500) and seat sensor ($4,500) seem extremely high. Vehicle has only 39,000 miles and was purchased new. Dealer stated there is no open recall despite research showing 100's of 2009 Muranos with the same issue and a prior recall on earlier Muranos and Infiniti's - clearly the same manufacturing defect. Have not taken an action to repair at this point,.

3 Seats problem

Failure Date: 09/30/2019

Airbag warning light suddenly stayed on flashing. There has never been any accident. Low miles and rarely a passenger in the car. Nissan dealer checked and determined it was the passenger sensor. They replaced the sensor and light remained. They then said they had to replace the entire passenger seat bottom to fix the issue. ~$3,700 later and it is fixed.

4 Seats problem

Failure Date: 06/05/2015

The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Murano. Upon starting the vehicle, the air bag warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the sensor in the passenger seat needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 121,000.

5 Seats problem

Failure Date: 11/15/2009

I bought a used Nissan Murano 2006 at 52000 miles. Very pleased with the car overall, a couple of months later my seat started making very squeaky noise. Until yesterday I kept driving having no idea what is going on. On my way to work my driver seat snapped on the left side. I almost crashed because it happened so suddenly. Apparently there are many complaints about the Nissan defective seat but the dealer said there have been no recalls. The part alone is about 800$ to fix the problem that should not even occurred ever.
