| Description of the problem | My 2005 nissan murano has a broken front seat frame. The dealership says it will cost me $900 to fix. I had noticed a lot of "creaking noises" over the last several months and thought it was a squeaky spring in the seat. I was going to have them look at it during a service appointment next week, but as i was driving yesterday, the seat basically came apart and was rocking to the left side , especially noticeable as i made a left hand turn. It felt as if i was going to fall right out of my seat. This is very dangerous and i am unable to drive the car based on this issue. The dealership said there is nothing else that they can do and that it is not covered under warranty. After reading on a chat line (see below) http://townhall-talk. Edmunds. Com/direct/view/. F14ec7a/0 i realize that this issue is very widespread amongst other murano owners and they share in the same concerns as myself. Bottom line is, is that my car is undriveable at this point! |
