| Description of the problem | I purchased my 2006 murano from nissan of garden city around july of 2010, after filing out the paperwork for it i noticed when i got into the car the seat felt odd. I asked the rep what's wrong with it he said "ooohh get bring it back tomorrow we will get it checked out free of charge". Those were his exact words. I said okay no big deal, took the vehicle down the next morning let them look at it i received a call telling me the seat frame needs to be replaced, they replaced it for free. Months go no issue until one day i'm driving with my nephew in the back and i go to take a turn and the seat frame snapped again nearly causing me to hit the car in the other lane. I found a place to pull over and looked under the seat and noticed the frame was broken again. I proceeded to call my dealer i talked to the rep he said he would have to see if it's under warranty, he said he would call me back he never did. Extremely vex i called nissan talked to a rep the first time complete bone head. Talked to another rep named yolanda brown she called the dealership told me to bring it in to them, i haven't done this yet because school is now in session and i'm tied up, however i will be taking it down there this week. I've done my research on this failure of a design for a seat. I don't understand how nissan could put such a poor quality product in their car. Wherever i look everyone is saying take it to your local mechanic and let him weld it or fabricate a part for you. If things do not work out with nissan i might go that route. However it's been noted to nissan that if i get into an accident because of this part failing i will sue them. *ln |
