Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Last year my drivers side front seat anchor/bracket broke. Poor design. Rear sub frame rusted out resulting in the rear left wheel to nearly fall off while driving. This year my wife was advised by a person in a vehicle behind her that the rear wheel was ready to launch. Road salt caused rusting to sub frame body mount. Again poor design and material.”
NHTSA complaint #10937426, filed 2016-12, 62,310 miles“I exited a parking lot and while driving at approximately 20mph the drivers seat rear mounting bracket broke on the rear left side, the seat snapped back to the left side which nearly caused me to lose control of the vehicle. I've read on the forums that this is happening to nearly every single 2003 - 2007 Nissan Murano.”
NHTSA complaint #10947207, filed 2017-01, 134,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11128287, filed 2018-09, 141,000 miles“While getting in my car after work, the seat was all of a sudden unstable, leaning to the rear left. Upon further inspection, the bracket has broken in two places, which will need to be re-welded. 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.”
NHTSA complaint #10917529, filed 2016-10, 118,000 miles“I got into my parked car and as soon I sat in the seat, the back left support of the seat base broke and dropped about 6 inches. The seat now rocks when you sit in it. This is a very big safety hazard for driving as there is no stability in the seat and moves around turns and over bumps. If I had been driving when this happened there surely would have been a crash.”
