| Description of the problem | I was driving out of my neighborhood when i heard a loud pop under the drivers side chair. I can now lift my entire drivers side seat off of the right side of the track. After i did further research i found this is a common issue with 2003-2009 muranos. The metal bracket holding the seat onto the track breaks due to the metal being too thin. I have read well over 250 complaints on the same issue with muranos. Nissan refuses to fix since a "campaign" (i. E. Recall) has not been issues. I was quoted $1000 to fix the issue. This is a safety issue and irresponsible and negligent on nissan's part to not recall the muranos. I took my car to 2 nissan service centers and both managers knew about this issue and said its common problem. One even went so far to call the part "defective" yet nissan will do nothing about it. I can only assume this defective part is on other seats in the car. It? S a matter of time until a seat breaks and falls off the track while on the highway causing potential deaths. Nissan is negligent and irresponsible. I will not buy another nissan. They do no stand behind their cars or have their consumer? S best interests in mind. There should be a recall on this issue based solely on safety issues. Below is one of many complaint sites about this issue: http://www. Aboutautomobile. Com/complaint/2006/nissan/murano/seat. |
