| Description of the problem | 2006 nissan murano driver seat broken at 73k miles. This is a major safety concern as the welding under the seat snapped while i was driving at 65mph and the seat now rocks back and forth. Car is out warranty and nissan wants $1,000 to fix this problem. After some internet research, i have learned that this is a very common problem in 03-07 muranos. My seat is no longer stable and if i were to get into an accident i do not know what would happen. There should be a recall issued. |
