| Description of the problem | Nissan murano 2006 with 80 thousand miles in great condition,no fender benders. Two adult drivers use car . Our weight 175 lbs and 140lbs. While driving on a main street under 40 mph (limit 45) , coming up to a traffic light, i noticed my drivers seat started to bounce while trying to stop. When the seat comes back down it gives a thumping sound. Short time later when i arrived home a shocking feeling came over me after i saw my driver seat bounce loose with only a push of a small finger. I was scared that my life was in danger ,if i had to do an emergency maneuver due to a non secure seat even with seat belts. Then i realized i could have placed other people in harms way by having my seat break off and flipping backwards and not being able to reach the brakes. A scary thought . I would never forgive myself if i harmed some one even to having an oem seat break loose. Please recall or inspect all murano front seat frames. |
