| Description of the problem | 1. My wife noticed while she was driving her nissan murano (2005) today, that the seat started to feel loose and lean back to the left. She got out of the vehicle and pushed on the seat and noted a significant drop on putting pressure down on the back drivers side of the seat. This is the first time that the seat has been unstable. Upon inspection of the seat tonight the bar connecting the seat to the underlying structure had broken. This occurred on the driver's side on the back bar. The metal had worn and there were sharp edges on both sides. There had been no previous damage or abnormality with the seat prior to today (4-23-2009). |
