Sorry could not help tworules.
But you are correct the Car is GREAT.

I got to thinking the other day, what if I didn't check the screws well enough? So, I went back and checked again, this time giving them more that a cursory twist. And, found that indeed almost every one of them gave me a least a quarter turn to tighten them. So far, no more seat ticks when accelerating or decelerating.

Thanks again for the tip!

Cheers!

So glad to be of help.

Odd, how the dealer checked my car twice and failed to figure it out.
I have just about zero handy man skills.

You might want to use some sort of thread lock/lock tight to keep it from coming loose again.

Happy trails

jimthor · 12-25-2004, 01:34 PM

I have that also. I feel its of no use.
Hmmm why is that there??

GripperDon · 12-25-2004, 02:41 PM

I thought it was to allow for checking if they have moved or to show that they were torqued to spec or......

Very very very interesting thread. I have an annoying tick sound on the drivers seat, and I can reproduce the problem. I'll have to see if the screws are loose or take it in - it's quite annoying!!

**zebelkhan** · 12-27-2004, 12:14 AM

I checked today and all the srews were loose (1/2 to full turn) on the left seat! I checked the right side and they were a bit loose too (1/4 to 1/2 turn) so I tightened them all. The car is in pieces trying to install the carputer so I can not test drive it but I bet that was the cause of the rocking seat.

THANKS jimthor for the fix.

**Eric L.** · 12-27-2004, 12:36 AM

How are the screws accessed? Is there a cover in the way? Do you get it from the front or the back?

jimthor · 12-27-2004, 01:08 AM

Eric look at the pic from page 1. You will undertsand.
zebelkhan , I am glad it worked for ya.

However, make sure you put lock tite etc on those threads. Or it will happen again

GripperDon · 12-27-2004, 01:54 AM

JimThor, Think I may take my out add locktight and replace. ( I will wait and see if I ever get the problem first om second thought)

estoyer · 01-10-2005, 11:48 AM

Finally have the problem solved. My 2004 Muranos front seat had a poping noise in the back left side of the drivers seat. One of the above posts stated that the dealer said the 2003s seat problems were not them same as the 2004s. Well guess what there right!! After six attempts to get ths noise fixed they finnally got it. They replaced the drivers seat back steel fame and resecured the lumbar support and bingo...............problem solved...Have your dealer contact Lawrence Marshall Nissan in Denison TX TOLL FREE 1-877-CLOBBER.

NVMYGT · 01-10-2005, 12:27 PM

Ha....looks like they upgraded my 03 with an 04 problem. My creak went away when they replaced the seat brackets however after several months I have developed a popping noise when making right turns. It almost feels like a heavy object is sliding around underneath the seat and slamming into the chair rails, but nothings there...

I guess it's time to go to the dealer and convince them that I have an 03 with an 04 problem.

Hello Everyone:

I need help. My 2004 Nissan Murano SL AWD has had a load of problems. Steering wheel off center, A Pillar rattling, gas door buzzing, and the loose driver's seat. I bought the car on 12/28/03. So far it's been back to the dealer 4 times. It has truly been a saga.

The dealer has managed to fix everything except for the seat. I took in the TSB for the seat and they're telling me that it does not apply to my car. The TSB was issued for 2003 models and that the 2004 models have the updated equipment. The born on date for my car was Oct. 2003.

The problem I'm experiencing is a popping sensation usually on my left thigh and sometimes on my rear along with a slight rocking motion. The sensation does not happen all the time, but does happen at least once on my commute to and from work. I've even taken the service manager on a ride with me. He could not reproduce the problem. The dealer knows the issue and I've also contacted Nissan North America (escalation team). They can't reproduce the problem.

I'm at a loss on what to do. Is there a fix somewhere out there for this? Something like the business card in the door trick for the windows rattling?

To say the least, I'm extremely dissapointed in Nissan. My entire experience with them has been terrible. No one seems to care. How in the world could they put a product with this kind of shoddy workmanship out there? I don't know if they can redeem themselves now, but they've lost a customer for life.

Any help would is greatly appreciated.

I have not been to the dealer so far 2000 miles on the MO. I have a 05 and the seat make noise I can push it down and lift up and it creakes When the seat is all the way up no noise and when all the way down no noise.In the middle it does this noise HELP what to do now?? Love the car this is a pain in the a** I can not find where it is coming from It is not the 3 screws in the lower area Did anybody find the area ??

Thank You
Larry..
