| Description of the problem | As i was leaving my garage, i heard a click and a snap and realized (after my seat started leaning to the left) that the driver's seat on my 2005 nissan murano broke. Luckily i wasn't in heavy traffic and was able to pull over. It is unbelievable that nissan has yet to voluntarily recall this defect. Currently the vehicle is at the dealer and i am waiting for nissan to take responsibility for this issue. This is the 3rd incident i have had with this truck. |
