2007 Nissan Murano Airbags Problems

PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR. This is blinking on my dash. I looked it up in the manual. It stated that the airbag may not deploy in an accident. I also got a recall notice for this same problem and called the dealer. They said that my vin was not included in the recall even though I had the same make, model and year and the same problem. I had a problem with this when the vehicle was new, they fixed it. They wanted two hundred dollars to look at it. Why is this safety problem in my vehicle not included?

I purchased a 2007 Nissan Murano the end of June. The first time I drove it on a wet road I almost lost control, and I was driving well BELOW the speed limit. The next week I got different tires put on and took it for an alignment. The first independent service center I took it to showed me where the rear subframe on BOTH the driver and passenger were completely rusted through, and they told me I should drive the vehicle as little as possible until I got it fixed. I took it to a second independent service center to see if it could be fixed without having to be completely replaced, they told me they could not, nor could an aligment be done and that I should stop driving it immediately. I had only had the car for a month and a half before I had to park it. This is a MAJOR issue that needs to be addressed by Nissan!! I don't have the money to have the car fixed, nor can I sell it. So I'm making payments on a car that is doing nothing but collecting dust and taking up space. Unfortunately I am learning that this is a major issue with this vehicle. Nissan needs to fix it before people are killed, not just people driving the vehicle, but other motorists, and possible pedestrians. The airbag light is also on and I haven't been in an accident, nor has there been any work done to it since I bought it.

MY VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING AT THE TIME THE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF" LIGHT DOES NOT WORK UNLESS I MOVE THE CONNECTOR UNDER THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER SEAT. THEN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WILL SHUT OFF AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM LISTED FOR THE RECALL BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR MANY MURANO'S NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

2007 NISSAN MURANOS WERE PART OF A VOLUNTARY RECALL INVOLVING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR. NISSAN STATES MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL, HOWEVER, IT IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL FOR THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. AT THIS TIME THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT PUTING PASSENGERS AT RISK FOR INGURY OR POSSIBLE DEATH. THE VIN NUMBER SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE ASAP SO PASSANGERS IN THIS VEHICLE ARE NOT AT RISK. THANK YOU! THE CONSUMER REQUESTED AN UPDATE. *JS

I OWN A 2007 NISSAN MURANO THAT I BOUGHT USED 1.5 YEARS AGO. THERE ARE TWO SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES THAT THE CAR HAS AND FOR WHICH NISSAN HAS HAD TO RECALL THOUSANDS OF OTHER VEHICLES. I JUST CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. IT'S JUST TOO COINCIDENTAL AND NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. RECALL NUMBER 09V169000 RECALL DATE 05/19/2009 COMPONENT ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING THE INTAKE AIR DUCTS, WHICH ARE CONNECTED TO THE INTERMEDIATE RESONATOR IN THE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM OF THE ENGINE, MAY SEPARATE FROM THE RESONATOR WITH ENGINE MOVEMENT. THIS SEPARATION OCCURS DUE TO THE PREMATURE AGING OF THE MATERIAL USED IN THE INTAKE AIR DUCTS WHICH CAUSES EXCESSIVE SHRINKING. RECALL NUMBER 08V521000 RECALL DATE 10/07/2008 COMPONENT AIR BAGS SUMMARY NISSAN IS RECALLING 204,361 MY 2007-2008 ALTIMA, ALTIMA HYBRID, 350Z, 350Z ROADSTER, MY 2008 ALTIMA COUPE, ROGUE, MY 2009 MURANO, AND INFINITI MY 2007-2008 G35 SEDAN, MY 2008 G37 COUPE AND EX35 PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS' OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) CONTROL UNITS. A VARISTOR IN THE OCS CONTROL UNIT LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATION. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, THIS COULD CAUSE AN INTERRUPTION OF SIGNAL BETWEEN THE OCS AND THE AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT (ACU). CONSEQUENCE THIS COULD RESULT IN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG BEING SUPPRESSED WHICH COULD FAIL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.

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.

PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANT CONTROL UNIT FAILED AND AIRBAGS WILL NOT WORK IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. COST OF REPAIR IS $3950 AT 77.5K MILES. ON JUNE 30, 2014 WE NOTICED THE AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHING AND BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY REPAIR FACILITY PAYING $99 FOR DIAGNOSIS, WHO SAID THE PASSENGER SEAT WOULD NEED REPLACEMENT AND THEY RECOMMENDED WE WORK WITH NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY WOULD ASSIST THROUGH A RECALL OR OTHER MEANS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS HALF THE VALUE OF THE ENTIRE CAR WHICH ONLY HAS 77.5K MILES. I WENT TO ARLINGTON NISSAN AND PAID ANOTHER $120 FOR SAME DIAGNOSIS. I HAD AN OPEN TICKET WITH NISSAN ASKING THEM TO ESCALATE THE SITUATION TO RECEIVE FINANCIAL HELP IN GETTING THIS REPAIR DONE FOR THE SAFETY AND WELL BEING OF MY FAMILY AND KNOWING OTHER CARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. ON 7-9-2014 I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN SUPERVISOR (SUE) THE SAME THAT ALL OTHERS HAD TOLD ME, THEY UNFORTUNATELY CAN DO NOTHING TO ASSIST WITH THIS SITUATION EVEN THOUGH THEY EMPATHIZE. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS REPAIR ISSUES WHEN THE CAR REACHED 5 YEARS AND THE COST OF REPAIRS FOR THIS CAR IS HORRENDOUS. (I.E. HEADLIGHT $200+, DRIVER SEAT $4000, ETC...) I INFORMED THEM THAT I WILL BE FILING A COMPLAINT, I WILL BE TELLING EVERYONE I KNOW MY BAD EXPERIENCES WITH NISSAN, AND THAT I WILL NEVER BE PURCHASING A NISSAN AGAIN. *TR

WENT IN FOR HIGH PRESSURE HOSE REPLACEMENT AND CAME OUT WITH AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING. DEALER (WOLFCHASE NISSAN) WOULD NOT OWN UP TO IT BEING A PROBLEM. FRUSTRATED THAT NISSAN DID NOT RECALL THE 07 AS THEY SHOULD HAVE ALL CARS, ETC WITH THAT SAME SPECIFICATION INSTEAD OF A FEW. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS HAVE COMPLAINED BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO BE DONE FOR THE 07 MODELS. SHOULD A CONSUMER HAVE TO LOSE A LIFE DUE TO A FAULTY SENSOR OR WHATEVER THE ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHIONS OR MODULES? NISSAN KNEW THE ISSUE EXIST BUT DOESN'T WANT TO OWN UP TO THIS RECALL. I'M BEGGING FOR AN INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS ISSUE. PEOPLE HAVE LOST LIVES DUE TO ERRORS WITH THE AIR BAG AND I PERSONALLY DON'T WANT TO BE THE NEXT VICTIM. IF DEALER EXPECTS ME TO PAY $1200.00 FOR SOMETHING THAT I DID NOT CAUSE, THEY ARE TRULY MISTAKEN. I WILL RAISE MY VOICE TO THE HEAVENS BEFORE THAT HAPPEN. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER. *TR
