| Description of the problem | Left rear of drivers seat collapsed while making a right hand turn. This caused me to jerk the steering wheel to the left, almost hitting multiple children who were walking home after getting off the school bus. I only weight 218 lbs and my wife is barely 100 lbs. This seat should not collapse under normal use and normal adult weights. I am sure if i had gotten in an accident the seat would have broken loose and serious injury would have occurred. Nissan is aware of the problem and has done nothing to correct the problem. Nissan wants $1400 dollars for the repair. Nissan placed a rejected inspection sticker on the vehicle due to the broken seat. I can no longer drive the vehicle until the seat is repaired. Youtube has multiple videos of this happening on other muranos. |
