| Description of the problem | 2005 nissan murano: i am having a problem with the driver's power seat. It adjusts itself randomly & makes clicking noises, while i am driving. It mainly slides back to the farthest position, so it is very hard to touch the brake & accelerator pedals. This has been intermittently occurring for approx 7 days. As of today, the back of the seat is now randomly moving forward while i am driving, so that it is in effect folding me in half! This seems like a very dangerous way to drive.. Previous to the seat randomly moving on a regular basis (since the past week), the seat felt like it was tilted slightly to one side. At first the problem was that the seat sometimes would slip out of position into another position. This went on for about 2 or so weeks before the clicking noises & random repositioning started happening. I would like the nhtsa to check into this seat failure as i feel that it is a dangerous problem. The seat moves back randomly when i'm driving & for a shorter person this could cause an accident as they may not even be able to touch the pedals in order to pull over. Does this warrant a safety recall?? |
