| Description of the problem | I am the owner of a 2005 nissan murano which currently has 6,700 miles. At at 4,000 miles i noticed the front driver seat started rocking from left to right. I took the car in to the dealership several times and i was told that i have to pay for the repair. After researching the issue online, i realize that hundreds of owners experience the same problem with their driver front seat. I think that this is a very very serious safety issue because if the event of an accident, front on or rear end collision, the driver could be easily ejected from the front seat resulting in an instant fatality. As a responsible citizen, car owner and out of concern from the driving public, i think a recall should be issued for this defect. Please see a number of forums reporting the issue.
