| Description of the problem | My driver's seat broke in my 2005 murano (68,000 miles) in the same manner as a number of others drivers have indicated already. The driver seat broke while driving causing me to loose control for a time.... Very dangerous situation! The driver seat weld came loose on the left side and now rocks back and forth while driving and going around corners. Took it to the dealer and they indicated it was a $1000 plus fix! Have to replace the entire seat assembly. Dealer and even the extended warranty i purchased will not cover this obvious defect and safety issue. Will be calling nissan next... But from the looks of other complaints, it will be a waste of time since i haven't heard of nissan helping fix anyone with this issue. I'm afraid that until i get this fixed that the rocking motion will break the last support and cause the entire seat to break loose while driving. Know if this is not a safety issue.... Please tell me what is!!!! |
