| Description of the problem | I was driving in my 2005 nissan murano and just exited off the freeway. While turning on the exit ramp i felt the driver seat feel like it shifted up and away from the rear left. About a mile later there was a loud crack and the left rear corner of the driver's seat dropped down. When i got home i looked under the seat to see what had happened. I appears the bracket that connects the left rear corner of the driver's seat to the floor bracket has broken. I spent some time today searching on the internet and found this is a quite common problem. I even found a technical service bulletin from nissan on how to fix the problem. If it's a known issue that the bracket will eventually fail under fatigue why isn't there a recall or a service announcement? |
