| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 nissan murano. The drivers seat has broken off the track from normal use. This makes it very difficult to drive. I have asked the dealer if this was covered under warranty. It is not covered nor is it a recall. Even though they have told me they have had several 2005's come in with broken seats. From several websites i see that this is a large problem for nissan. Yet, they will not recall or assist in repair cost. I think nissan is well aware that this is a problem and they are trying to avoid a recall for as long as they can. I feel this is a real safety issue. |
