| Description of the problem | Back in february, 2008, the driver's seat on my 2005 murano malfunctioned--specifically, the seat was not loose, but all of a sudden would not slide forward on the right side thereby creating a grinding noise and a slight and unnatural swivel of the seat to the left. I took it to the dealership for repair. Part number 87450-ca684 was the "offending" part per my invoice. All other power seat features were operating fine. I asked the service manager what would cause this and he said he didn't know, but they had seen 5 such incidents in the past 2 months. This got me wondering if this was a widespread issue. So, i found a nissan online club of owners reporting seat failures. I have been tracking this for months and now have gotten to the point where i believe this is a serious issue that deserves reporting and nhtsa attention. Fortunately, my repair was covered under my extended warranty sans a $50 deductible. But, consistent with all these postings, the service manager indicated this is typically a $700 repair. While i accept that things break, i, too, am disappointed, but as i indicated more and more concerned after reading post after post at this site (please goto http://townhall-talk. Edmunds. Com/webx/. F14ec7a? Displayrecent) for all the posts. As an fyi, the broken part is not available. |
