| Description of the problem | 2005 murano sl with 48900 miles. Failed driver's seat as noted in 207 other complaints on this site. Upon getting into the vehicle, the left back portion of the driver's seat suddenly popped and tilted to the left. There is a severe rocking motion of the seat now and turning right causes the driver to have to hold on to the steering wheel with force in order to remain upright and drive appropriately. Currently at the nissan dealership having the problem diagnosed. Haven't yet gotten word on the "cost" of this repair but feel strongly that this should be taken care of by nissan as this is a structural failure that should not occur. Having no injuries reported does not mean this couldn't happen soon. If you are driving and making a turn at the time of the failure you most definitely could lose control of your vehicle. |
