| Description of the problem | My 2006 nissan murano felt as though the drivers seat was leaning to the left. Then it became obviously loose/wobbly, so much so that it feels as though the seat will fall over going around a turn. I had it checked and was told there was a mechanism that had broke under the seat, that the whole thing would have to be replaced and could cost as much as $1,200! It doesn't seem safe, yet i don't have that kind of money, and now seeing that this is a common occurrence w/ murano's-certainly nissan would have to take responsibility and do a recall before someone gets injured because of this. I find driving it myself is getting more difficult because of how wobbly the seat is-but i can't afford to fix it. When the seat leans, the steering wheel gets pulled too. This is a serious safety issue. |
