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?
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. …
Following vehicle being in for coolant system repair, I entered vehicle driver side and found the seat moved forward to the extreme, I moved it back and sat down, right away I noticed the seat did not feel stable, was unsure if this was related to the recent work, began driving vehicle, went a short distance, driver seat was listing to the driver side of vehicle, and was unstable. I returned immediately to repair shop, of course late in day and closing time. I was told they would look at next day, low and behold, the bad news begins arriving about midmorning- the seat track is broken and will cost a significant amount of money to repair. During my drive back to repair shop next day, the seat feels very unstable and would not recommend driving this vehicle any length of time; creates a significant feeling that control of vehicle is not secure, due to seat instability. …
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. …
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.
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.

"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 ([redacted]) 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.
Was concern about the seat it goes,up but leaks,down and ,rocks like it is broke, the airbag light keeps flashing and wont stop,jumpy accelertion, and replacing front brake can be costly. I bought this vehicle and according to internet by VIN# printed out no recalls, shows now I see it had recalls what can I do to get this taken care of? Driving down the road the seat felt like it was changing the height and I had to keep readjusting it, I then stopped and went to get out and it rocked. I weigh 100lbs so I could not have broken it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. While driving 30 MPH, the front driver seat rocked forward and backward on the rough terrain of the highway.
