| Description of the problem | When making a left hand turn, i heard a crack underneath the driver's side. Afterwards the seat now rocks back and forth and lifts up when making turns. I have searched all over the web and it seems this is a known defect with nissan drivers side seats on some of their vehicles to the point that they issued a technical service bulletin. I am very disappointed with the fact that nissan is not standing behind their products. I drive a 2006 nissan murano and it only has 51,000 miles on it. The issue appears to be with the seat bracket lifter link assembly. |
