The driver & front passenger seat belts are located behind the seats off the floor of the rear passenger seats, so when anyone is sitting behind the driver or passenger the feet of the rear passengers can be placed on the seat belts causing the front passengers to be restrained.

I was in a broadside collision. The front end of my car collided with the side of another car. I was going approximately 30-35 mph at time of impact. I had my seat belt on. The airbags failed to deploy and seat belt did not lock resulting in being thrown forward and impacting the steering wheel. The car sustained severe frontal damage and is a total loss from the insurance company. The car has been well maintained and was serviced by Nissan exclusively. I had no warning lights on prior to the accident occurring.
I am the second owner of a 2013 Nissan Murano, purchased from my friend's estate in 2026. Recently, the drivers seat belt was found to be shredding in two places. I did a search for open recalls on seal belt fabrics but there are none. I do not know what to do about it. I have placed thin shipping tape over the rips and tears. It appears that something in the roll up mechanism is tearing the seat belt. Please help me. Thank you.

This car has an electrical problem. The dash board lighted components flicker back and forth from dim to bright when the headlights are turned on. The headlights when turning on go from really dim to normal when turning on. I have noticed this at night while driving. When going to buckle my son in his car seat the seat belts thin the rear lock and do not release. Unless all the slack it it is returned to normal. Which sometimes takes 3 to 4 times to be able to buckle him into his seat without the seat belt locking
While adjusting the drivers side power seat, something in the power seat mechanism appears to have broke and the seat in now uneven, and feels like it is coming off the rails especially when going into a curve, where you must hang onto the steering wheel for balance which causes undue anxiety for fear of losing control. The seat feels like it is off the rails, and when I use the power seat adjuster, it only lifts one side of the seat. This happened over 2 years ago at about 45,0000 miles. I now have 70,000 miles. I have learned if you keep the seat adjusted so that its closest to the floor, then there is less of a feeling that the seat is coming off, than if the seat is adjusted to a higher position. I have chosen not to get this repaired solely due to the $1,100 expense which it appears to cost to repair this safety issue. …
