| Description of the problem | Driver seat broke during driving on highway coming around a curve. The movement was quick, had to hold onto steering wheel to maintain control. Took next exit off to gather what just happen. That's when i rock the seat and knew it was broken. I was driving back from out of town and had over 140 miles to make it home. I had to drive with caution, because i wasn't for sure if the back would fall back into the rear seat. My passenger google for information on youtube and found this had happened before with other murano. The manufacturer has not issued any recall on a defects with their seats. Nissan has not informed me on any recall with this vehicle. Some type of assistance with this major equipment need to be address quickly. Driving with a seat falling from you can cause serious injuries to the individual and others. Safety of customers should be a major priority. Nissan manufacturer need to step up an own responsibility for their defect. I own other nissan vehicle and have family members that own nissan vehicle, we or disappointed with how nissan is handling their customer. |
