| Description of the problem | I purchased my 2007 murano in august 2011. From the date of purchase, i've had multiple issues. The brakes have been a constant issue, i've had to replace the front struts (before 60,000 miles) and was told that i need to replace the rear shocks as soon as possible, the driver side visor is broken, 2 months ago it began leaking oil for some unknown reason, and now the front seat is broken, causing the left hand side of the seat to 'float'. I weigh 140 lbs so it's not like i've caused any undue stress on the seat. The vehicle currently has 70,000 miles. I cannot afford to make all the repairs - but cannot sell it until i do make them (who in their right mind wants to purchase a car that needs $2500 poured into it for repairs, with new issues occurring on a regular basis). It's a shame that nissan can produce something of such poor quality and not be forced to stand behind their product. This is the worst car i've ever owned. If i can ever get rid of this it i'll never own another nissan. |
