| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 nissan murano with 29k miles. While driving in normal conditions i felt a pop in my driver's seat and heard a metallic sound from under the seat. From that point forward the driver's seat has felt unstable and would move freely during turns and normal acceleration/braking. This incident seems common based on an internet search and is referred to as a back-left leaning problem. A technical bulletin was issued but no recall. This seems extremely unsafe and should be treated as a manufacturing design defect. |
