| Description of the problem | Nissan murano 2005 front driver seat has come loose on one side, is lopsided and rocks back and forth while car is in motion,while turning,braking and when it comes to a stop. Even while you are wearing your seat belt you have no safety restraint as your body is projected forward and sideways from your seat while driving. I weigh 170 and my wife, who is the primary driver weighs 125 lbs. During one driving incident,my wife was averting a tree limb on the road and made a quick, but slow turn only to be jostled to the side of the car and hitting her head on the driver window. Luckily she was not injured as the turn was minimal. Nothing extraordinary happened to lead to the seat break. One day my wife sat in the seat and noticed it felt funny. The seat repair is not under warranty. Cost of repair would be upwards of $1200. An amount we cannot afford. *ln |
