| Description of the problem | I own a 2006 nissan murano and while driving i heard a "snap" sound and the left year of the driver's seat sank which caused me to jerk the steering wheel into the oncoming lane of traffic. Fortunately there was no oncoming traffic. I took the car to my service station and upon inspection they revealed the seat frame in the back left cracked so now the seat rocks side to side. The seat is no longer stable. |
