“Since lease of vehicle in july 2005, many problems. Most recent is lack of acceleration at random times. Vehicle was fixed and in less that a week of it returned to me, problem happened again. I do not have any warning that the car will cease to accelerate. It is not a safe vehicle to drive, especially with my children or others children in the car. I am afraid for my children's lives as well as my own when I am driving this vehicle. …”

“My boyfriend was driving my car on the I-10 when he suddenly heard a loud crack and the seat was suddenly lopsided. I therefore brought the car into my local Nissan dealership to see about having it repaired and if my warranty would cover it. I was informed that parts and labor would cost $846, I also had to pay the $90 whether or not I was going to have it repaired. I contacted my warranty company and was told that after careful consideration they would not cover it because it happened after the 36000 mile. My car had roughly 60k miles at the time of the occurrence. …”

“Drivers seat rocks to the left. Was informed by jim mills Nissan that the seat track was bad, $716 to replace. Not covered under extended warranty. This was on aug.22, 2007. Filed a complaint with Nissan. Now were having problems with drivers side sunvisor falling down while your driving and passenger door lock not securing all the way. The lock mechanism will go part of the way and stop. All of the items above are safety issues that need to be addressed by Nissan. Yes, I purchased the extended warranty.”

“2005 Nissan Murano door locks fail to lock and unlock. I have a 2005 Murano and the door locks recently have stopped working. The lock will not lock or unlock with the remote or with the door lock button on driver or passenger door. This is even a bigger problem having a 2 year old in the vehicle and the only way to unlock the door is manually. Since there is no key hole on the rear doors you have to climb through the vehicle to lock the door. I can't even lock the door if she manually moves the lock with her hand I can't lock it from the driver side control. …”
