| Description of the problem | Dangerous seat failure on my 05' nissan murano. The driver's seat frame has broken causing the seat to rock from side to side when cornering. This is terribly dangerous and will cause loss of control. The dealers are quoting a price of over $800 to repair something that should never have failed. I have investigated this problem on line and have found that some owners are having the seat welded abd that fixes the problem but nissan is not offering that low cost option because they have no mechanics that weld!!! |
