| Description of the problem | Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. While driving, the driver's seat support bracket cracked and the seat rocked and was unstable.

The manufacturer responded to a letter from the contact and responded that there was no recall; therefore, they could not assist with the repair costs. The dealer was not notified. The contact refused to pay $2,000 for the repairs and there was only a 90 day warranty on the part, but not the labor. The failure mileage was 35,000. |
