| Description of the problem | I was driving in my car, and the seat broke and leans back only on the left side, causing an unsafe driving position. While searching for a fix, apparently there are many other complaints in the nissan murano for exactly the same reason. I feel this is a major safety concern as my foot was removed from the pedals and i temporarily lost control of the vehicle until i realized exactly what happened. The current rocking of the seat during acceleration and braking causes the seat (and body) to sway, changing the pressure intended to be placed on the brakes and gas pedal. |
