| Description of the problem | While driving home on a smooth, even surface road, i heard a "snap" and felt my driver's seat collapse/sag noticeably. Further investigation revealed that the seat track (or adjuster assembly) had broken on the back left mount. At first it looked like a new triangular bracket would be needed to repair the break, but it turns out that the track is one entire assembly. No rough riding or driving conditions were present at the time of the break. I do not do any rough/off road driving. I have read numerous complaints about murano seats breaking on the internet forums. |
