Owner reports
Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2007 Nissan Murano owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that the horn failed to sound when pressed. The steering wheel needed to be turned in order for the horn to operate. In addition, the air bag warning indicator illuminated continuously. Furthermore, when the front driver's side window was not locked, all the other windows would operate independently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the clockspring cable needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer and dealer were not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 165,000.
"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.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that condensation and ice was present on the inside of the front windshield causing a visibility hazard. Also, condensation and water was present inside the vehicle. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was contacted however, no assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
Visors will not stay up in storage. Expensive replacement but not safe. Visor will suddenly drop obstructing drivers view of the road. This happens both on driver and passenger visors but driver is worse. Completely obscures view of road and it is unpredictable when it will happen. No way to tighten or fix. No promise that replacement won't have same problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Nissan Murano. While driving various speeds at night, the high and low beam headlights would not illuminate through the plastic light covers. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 30,000.
Sun visor driver side failed at @ 50,000 miles . Falls down while driving. Dealer won't cover repair. $200 for a new one. This is a safety hazard which causes visibility problems while driving. Well known defect. Dealer suggested using velcro or bungi cords to fix the problem.
The driver's side sun visor will not stay up and falls down into the field of vision of the driver. This is a known defect and Nissan will not do anything about it. The equipment is defective and should be replaced under recall.
When the temperature is less than 30 degrees, it appears that the pipes/hoses by which the windshield washer fluid circulates to the front windshield freeze. The windshield washer fluid is fine, but the driver can't wash the windshield because the window washer fluid doesn't come out. This presents a very dangerous condition when it snows and the streets have been treated. The slush/dirty snow floating from other cars sticks to the windshield, and the windshield glass gets very dirty to the point that the driver can't see where he/she is driving. I have called Nissan and they recommended taking the car to a garage and keeping it running for two hours until the pipes thaw out. I don't have a garage, I am at work, and I need to drive back home in a slushy snowy day, but I can't wash the windshield with the window wipers because the fluid is not coming out to be able to wash it. …
I brought my car in for an oil change and when I picked up the car I was told my lift link was broken. I informed the dealer that it was not like that prior to bringing car in. He told me Nissan Murano had a history of this defect. I was never told of this defect. I question why the dealer failed to tell me this upon leasing the 2007 Murano and secondly how it just happened to break during a visit. The technician explained to the consumer that the lift link keeps the seat in a stable position. He then proceeded to show the consumer that the driver's seat was rocking from side to side and could be dangerous in case of an accident. The consumer stated there was nothing wrong with the seat, when the vehicle was dropped off at the dealer. The consumer also stated the driver's side visor would not stay in the upright position. …
