| Description of the problem | I bought a new 2004 nissan murano sl awd from the dealership. By october 2004, i had to get the front drivers seat replaced because it was loose and rocked back and forth. Now in june 2009, the problem has recurred but much more severely, and since i am now out of warranty, the dealer wants $1100 to replace it. There are two service bulletins from nissan on this: ntb03-095 and ntb05-043c. Nissan even changed the part number indicating or suggesting a design/manufacturing issue/defect. Either way, this is definitely a safety issue and i am gravely concerned for my safety in the event of a collision. This pertains to nhtsa investigation pe08065. Thank you! |
