I was turning on a highway loop and I'm short so I had the seat all the way up to be able to see. When I started turning there was a bunch of cars behind me and the back of the seat made a loud popping noise and I hit my head on the window because the back right of it gave out. I pulled to the side of the road and got my self together. This happened to another coworker with another Nissan Murano but she had less problems since she's a tall woman and when the seat broke it didn't go all the way down. Looking at the seat the back right of it has a big metal bar piece that snapped. It no longer goes all the way up making it a hazard to drive without getting it fixed. * dsy.

Seat support is broken on the drivers side causing the driver my son, to shift to the left while driving the car. A dealer sold this used car as is and covered a wooden block that supported the seat with cloth to disguise the problem. After looking at this site I found over 700 complaints. The seat is compromised and it's a manufacturers safety defect. If an accident were to occur the driver could be thrown into the dash or worst because of a already broken driver seat support. Why should consumers not be made aware of this safety concern and the manufacture required to do a proper fix? is the seat belt designed to hold the passenger and the seat in place during an accident?.
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.
The braket on the driver seat broke and the seat is lopsideed and can not drive the car, are the repairs coverd by the manufacturer?.

Driver's seat bracket is broken so the seat is slanted and wobbles.
From normal usage, the front side driver's seat broke (in 2016) from what I believe is a defective seat bracket. Now the seat wobbles and rocks whenever I am driving and when the car moves side to side at all. Seat broke upon exiting vehicle. I weigh 163 pounds and am the primary driver. No sudden movement created the break.
Front driver's side seat bracket is broken and seat wobbles. The seat could break free in an accident and cause serious injury. This is a safety-related issue and Nissan should do the right thing by issuing a recall.
Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Nissan Murano. The contact stated while operating the vehicle the srs sensor light was continued to flash . The vehicle was taken to the local dealer pocatello Nissan(1900 flandro dr, pocatello id) who diagnosed that the air bag control sensor was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Also while operating the vehicle the drivers side seat back would move due to a broken seat frame. The seat was repaired. No further information was available. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 120,000. Jft.
Driver seat is broken it is being supported now with 3 bricks. It broke as I was making a right turn and I temporary lost control of the vehicle.
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.
My Murano drivers side seat broke off the lower left metal part, the seat now is not welded together properly and its now unattached and moves around as I drive. I have read about others having the same problem. I have never seen this happen to other vehicles only Nissan. They really need to take care of this issue since is very expensive to be fixed! I just happen to get in the vehicle and out of no where when I sat down I just felt the seat crack and lower to one side. I am 140lbs. Not very big and petite, so this is hard to understand why it would break like this.
I have a broken seat track that when I stop it put me in to the steering wheel. This is the 2nd time this has happened it was replaced on August 19 2011 and Nissan payed $500 toward the replacement and now it has broken again. This is a very unsafe common problem with this car as seen on the Nissan message boards.
I have always been a fan of Nissan until now my driver side seat broke , one of the brackets on the left side has completely broken in half, and by the looks of the many complaints Nissan has gotten about the very same issue it is very clear to me this is a factory issue. I do not understand how they have investigated this issue and came to the conclusion that it is not a safety issue just by the fact that there has only been a free minor injuries so far, the whole point in issuing a recall is to prevent injury , due to the high number of complaints should be probable cause for a recall in itself. That is ridiculous how has no one issued a lawsuit against you people yet.
The front bracket of the driver seat seems to have broke and the seat lifts to the side while I'm driving. It also lifts a little while I get in the car. . Read more...
My drivers side seat just broke on the back left side so now you can't sit in it and drive. I now sit crooked in the seat and don't feel safe driving it, what if I was in an accident and my seat now might throw me somewhere because it is now broken. This should be a recall.
Front driver side seat is broken. It leans to the left . This is so dangerous . Such a safety hazard. And Nissan corporate was no help. Told me I had to pay for a diagnose test. And have them send it in and they would look at it. And would get back to me. . Not a happy person.
*** driver seat bolt broken and unstable *** temperature gauge needle moves up toward "overheat" when cruising at 50mph *** transmission stalled and had to be replaced after 60k miles {odometer reading].
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.
The drivers metal seat bracket under the seat snapped when getting in my car. The seat is wobbly and moves with braking or accelerating. I was told it was not part of a recall and would cost $1500. 00 to buy a new bracket. A whole new seat would be $5000. 00. There are many complaints from owners of this model about the front seat bracket breaking. If I was in an accident my seat would definitely come loose from my car with me in the seat. I can't afford a $1500 bracket. Why would that bracket cost that much?.
Seat broke, why is this there no recall on a seat breaking? it's the driver seat! how would you like your seat in you car just to drop to one side for no reason? Nissan should not skimp on something that you sit in while driving!.
I bought the car used in 2010 and by 2011 the seat had locked in position and brought it in to a Nissan dealership to get it repaired since I bought the extended warranty. I was told that the problem was not covered in the warranty but they would fix it for $1300 and I chose at that time not to get it fixed, not knowing that there was a defect in the seat frame design by Nissan. Upon research later, I found out that year model and make had a defective seat frame and it would eventually break on one side. Sometime in 2013 it sure enough broke and when I went to renew my inspection sticker last week I was told that I was rejected because of the seat movement. I called Nissan consumer affairs and asked if they could help me out in any way to help fix the seat frame (which is now estimated at over $1500 to fix) because it is their faulty design, and was denied any assistance what so ever. So now I have a broken seat and an out of date inspection sticker and Nissan will not offer me any assistance for the cost of repair and denies any knowledge of any problems with the seat frame for that year model. The man at the inspection sticker place told me it is an unsafe driving condition driving like it is which is why he would not give me the inspection sticker because when he applies the breaks, the left side of the seat slides forward. How can a automobile dealership as big as Nissan deny this and not offer any help to fix the problem is beyond me. I want to tell this to all Nissan owners and I would not own another Nissan if I got one for free. I do not have the money to get the seat frame repaired and I use the vehicle every day to go to and from work, I am not sure what other options I have other thatn to drive unsafe and with an out of date sticker.
While I was driving the drivers side seat broke the base of the seat, they refuse to replace their defective seats. I can purchase a seat for 1800. 00 plus the cost of installation. Nissan has redesigned the seats to make them stronger.
Seat has broken loose on left side and rocks side to side. I have contacted both the dealer and Nissan corporate and been told the vehicle was out of warrant an therefore they would do nothing.
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.
I have a 2005 Nissan Murano s with just 65,000 miles on it. The driver's seat broke; I think it is something at the left rear of the seat. After looking on line, I found that there is a problem with a part called the lifter bracket. It would appear that there are hundreds of people out there with this problem. Apparently Nissan is aware of this problem because they manufacture a part for this repair at a very high cost to the consumer not to mention the labor cost to do the repair. This has been an apparent problem for years without any recall by Nissan. My sister also has a 2005 Nissan Murano as well and her driver's seat broke a few years ago; they put a brick under it to stop the rocking! the seat rocks to the right when you go around a corner and god forbid what could happen if an accident were to occur. Is there anything your agency can do to cause Nissan to issue a recall on the driver's seat?.
Front drivers side seat. Left rear reinforcement broken. No collisions or crashes. Same part where all the other seats are breaking.
While boarding my car driver seat broke and also the damage triggered the air bag light to pop since the driver seat is linked to air bag.
Wile driving casually, the seat felt like dislocating off it's track and leaned forward and to the right. I pulled over when possible and observed that the seat is loose on its rear left side and rocks freely towards the front. Electrically it functioned as usual. My garage mechanic (not a Nissan dealership!) checked it and found out the metal frame of the seat is broken. He warned me of keeping driving it and said he could not fix it but will look for a body shop or some one who will. I went online to research it and learned that this is a common well-known safety violation by the manufacture, which unfortunately, or in a unexplained other reason, was never recognized as an official safety recall. I want to add my voice so it will be taken care off. Before more people will be hurt.
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!!.
