| Description of the problem | 2006 nissan murano drivers seat and sun visor. My 2006 nissan murano has had two parts fail that i believe are a safety concern and warrant a recall. The 1st part is the drivers seat. I'm not a large person but the left side seat bracket broke and now my seat rocks left and right. I can't raise the seat up and down because only the right side works. The seat also bounces up and down. Apparently this is a very common problem with the murano and nissan's excuse is "wear and tear." seriously??? Nissan offered to replace the driver's seat for $1000 +. The second part that has failed is the driver's sun visor. Whenever i hit a bump, the sun visor swivels down and totally blocks the drivers view out the window. This is not safe. Nissan offered to replace the sun-visor for $350. |
