| Description of the problem | There was no warning but one day the driver's seat stopped moving on the left side. Essentially, the seat would just hook to the left whenever i tried to move the seat and whenever you started the car (since this car has an automatic seat adjust feature upon starting and turning off the engine). I took the car to the dealership to see what the problem was and it resulted in needing a new seat track. Unless the repair is made, which nissan consumer affairs will not take responsibility for, the seat remains in a position that is not appropriate for me, the main driver. Additionally, i am the only driver of this vehicle and would not ever move the seat causing this damage to it. The vehicle has a feature that causes the seat to move each and every time you get in and out of it, on it's own. This is what caused the damage since i never manually move the seat. I have seen many other complaints about this same issue on websites such as nissanmurano. Org. This is a safety issue. Nissan will not rectify this issue and has not recalled the vehicle for this problem. |
