2007 Nissan Murano Interior & seats 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?

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.

MY 2007 NISSAN MURAN HAS APPROX 125,000 MILES. I HAVE TAKEN CARE OF IT. IT HAS NICE TIRES AND THE MOST RECENT 4WHEEL ALIGNMENTS WHERE APPROX JAN AND FEB 2018. FOR WHATEVER REASON I GOT IN ONE DAY LAST SUMMER AND AS SOON AS I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY MY SEAT FELT AS IF I GOT PUSH BACKWARD AND MY SEAT BRACKET HAD JUST BROKE, I NOW HAVE BRICKS HOLDING UP MY $28,000 RIDE! JULY 26, 2018 SOMEONE PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY HITTING MY PARKED VEHICLE AND QUICKLY DRIVING AWAY. THEY HIT IT HARD ENOUGH TO DENT THE BUMPER AND TOW BAR. I IMMEDIATELY COULD TELL THE REAR END WAS WAY OFF. PROGRESSIVE REFUSES TO PAY FOR THIS AS THEY SAID MY CROSSMEMBER COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH AS WELL AS SOME OF MY FRAME AND SOME OTHER PARTS.. THEY SAY IF THE VEHICLE HAD NOT HAD SUCH A SERIOUS RUST PROBLEM -WHICH IS NOT AGE APPROPRIATE TO MY VEHICLE-THEN IT WOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN IN HALF TOWING MY TIRES IN AS WELL FROM THAT HIT. COVERAGE IS VOIDED LIKE A POOR WORKMANSHIP DEAL! THE SHOP I HAVE IT AT RIGHT NOW SAYS ITS SO FAR GONE IT IS SERIOUSLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS. DUE TO NISSANS PREMATURE RUST ISSUES MY CAR IS UNDRIVEABLE AND MY DRIVERS SEAT ISNT SAFE AS WELL. PROGRESSIVE AUTO INSURANCE IS REFUSING TO STAND BY MY FULL COVERAGE POLICY AND APPARENTLY ARE LEGALLY ABLE TO DO SO BECAUSE THE SUBSTANDARD PARTS GIVE THEM THAT ESCAPE CLAUSE. I STILL OWE ON THIS VEHICLE. I REALLY NEED NISSAN TO MAKE THIS RIGHT AS THEY HAVE EVEN MADE IT SO IT WAS UNINSURABLE AS I PAID AND I NEVER EVEN KNEW IT. I HAVE MY CAR IN PLACES FOR ALIGNMENTS, TIRES, OIL CHANGES ETC ETC AND NOONE EVER TOLD ME IT WAS RUSTING OR RUSTED AWAY. THE PROGRESSIVE AGENT HAD LOOKED AT MY MURANO UPON THE 1ST INSPECTION AND NEVER EVEN TOLD ME ABOUT THE DANGER I WAS IN DRIVING. NISSAN HAS CREATED A PROBLEM THAT HAS PROMPTED MY PROGRESSIVE ADJUSTER TO PLACE MY SAFETY AT RISK SO THEY CAN GET OUT OF PAYING. I TOOK CARE OF MY CAR!

"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.

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.

ATTEMPTING TO RETURN HOME, WHEN HITTING ANY BUMP IN THE ROAD THE SEAT IS ALMOST LIKE SITTING IN A ROCKING CHAIR.

DRIVING ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 35 TO 40 MPH. PUT ON BRAKES AND THE ENTIRE REAR END BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND MAKE A RUMBLING NOISE. THE REAR TIRES ARE LEANING INWARD ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLES WHICH THROWS OFF THE STABALIZATION OF THE VEHICLE MAKING IT UNSAFE AND DIFFICULT TO STEER OR STOP. THE ENTIRE STABALIZATION BAR AND THE MOUNTING BRACKETS SUPPORTING IT RUSTED THROUGH ON THE LEFT SIDE AND DISLODGED AND THE RIGHT SIDE IS READY TO DISLODGE FROM THE BODY AT ANY TIME. THERE IS NOTHING TO SUPPORT THE BAR SO IT CAN INADVENTERLY FALL AND HIT THE HIGHWAY AND DO DAMAGE TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE CAR OR CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO FLIP. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THEY CALLED NISSAN AND OF COURSE NO RECALL OR ASSISTANCE TO FIX THE VEHICLE WHICH IS OVER 2000 DOLLARS. THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DROPS BLOCKING YOUR VISION UNEXPECTANTLY CREATING A VISION ISSUE AND CONCENTRATION ISSUE WHILE DRIVING. THE ELECTRICAL MOTOR ON THE DRIVERS SEAT IS STARTING TO FAIL AND THE SEAT WOBBLES AS IT IS BEING REPOSITIONED. ONCE REPAIR ARE COMPLETE AND I HAVE INVOICES, I WILL UPLOAD THEM UNDER A SEPARATE COMPLAINT.

BEGINNING ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO I NOTICED SOME UNUSUAL NOISE AND MOVEMENT OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT WHILE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM WORSENED QUICKLY, MAKING A CRUNCHING METAL NOISE AND BECOMING INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE DURING DRIVING WITH THE LEFT REAR OF THE SEAT MOVING UP AND DOWN. IT NOW MOVES WITH ONLY SLIGHT MANUAL PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT. UPON INVESTIGATING THE STRUCTURE UNDER THE SEAT, I FOUND A SUPPORT BRACKET WELD HAS COMPLETELY SEPARATED. THE DRASTIC MOVEMENT OF THE SEAT SEEMS DANGEROUS, SLIGHTLY CHANGING THE DRIVERS POSITION BEHIND THE WHEEL, POSSIBLY ALTERING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, THE POSITION BEHIND THE AIRBAG, AND CERTAINLY AFFECTING RESTRAINT IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWS MANY, MANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS BRACKET WELD, BUT NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THIS POOR QUALITY PART FAILED, COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE, INJURY, OR DEATH, BUT WILL REQUIRE ME TO PAY $1100 TO FIX.

I HAD NO WARNING PRIOR TO IT ACTUALLY BREAKING. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE, HAVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN. VERY GLAD IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING, PARTICULARLY ON A ROAD TRIP. *TR
