| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 nissan murano and the driver's seat suddenly became unstable while driving. It snapped back several inches mid drive and now rocks from right to left. I am told the repair is going to cost upwards of $1000 and it will not be covered under warranty. I have read numerous descriptions of the same problem and am now concerned that i am unsafe while driving. |
