| Description of the problem | I was driving my 2005 murano and the left side of the driver side seat starting going down and would not come back up. I stopped, looked, and checked the seat. That is when i noticed my seat started rocking back and forth when i pulled on the top of the seat. I had it checked and the seat bracket is broken. I have found out that this is a common problem with muranos due to the faulty bracket in 2003-2007 nissan muranos. Why hasn't nissan recalled these brackets? Why does it cost $1300 to replace the entire seat when it is just a defective bracket that needs to be replaced? Why do i have to pay for this? Here is a forum of people having the same problem.
