| Description of the problem | The issue is with the front driver's side seat in my 2006 nissan murano. A part in the track has broken and now the seat sways back and forth when sitting in at and driving. It was started "creaking" several months ago, but just finally snapped about 2 months ago. The dealer has said it will cost upwards of $1000 to fix this, but i have seen countless other reports of this same problem online, so it sounds like this should be a recall on nissan's part to address this clear safety issue. |
