| Description of the problem | Driving to work today i was doing 55mph on the highway when the drivers seat suddenly fell to the left. Had the 3rd lane not been clear there would've been a serious accident due to me pulling left on the steering wheel as i fell back. I seen this has been a problem with muranos. I guess it's going to take the death of a few innocent people before this will be resolved. |
