Description of the problem	On 12/28/10 i was returning from a skiing trip and stopped with my kids for some fast food. Upon returning to my 2006 nissan murano, i opened the door and as soon as i sat on the drivers seat, i heard a "bang" and the left rear side of the driver's seat sank. Upon further inspection i found that the left rear mounting bracket on the seat had snapped. My vehicle is 5 yrs. Old and i just hit 165,000 miles. Over the years, i have owned 8 other cars prior to this murano and have put mileage on them ranging from 157,000 (chevy malibu) to 98,000 (dodge spirit) and have never experienced such a problem. A seat bracket is a non-moving part and is critical to driver/passenger safety in that it keeps the occupant stable so that the seat belts can properly restrain in the event of a crash. Now when i sit in the seat i tip to the left (towards the door) and the seat moves up/down when i make turns. This is not a safe condition. I have seen many complaints about this problem in internet forums and it just seems ridiculous to me that a metal, non-moving part situated inside the vehicle (and not subject to rust or whether) that is so critical to safety should just spontaneously fail. If i were a larger person, i could possibly understand, however, at 200lbs. I am not much out of the range of the average american male and such a part should be designed to handle such stresses. God knows how this bracket would have handled a crash! This problem needs to be rectified via a recall as it appears that nissan dealers are charging from $500 to $1,200 to repair this problem. Totally unacceptable for a safety related component!!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
