| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 nissan murano. The driver side left weld bracket broke on my seat. I am the only driver of this car and i am a female weighing 140 pounds. I don't think that is an excessive amount of weight for a seat to hold. This has created a huge safety hazard for me... And it's going to cost me around $1200 to fix. This doesn't seem right to me... I have seen a lot of complaints about this same issue. Why hasn't nissan stepped in and issued a recall to make this right before someone gets seriously injured or killed, due to this issue. I'm thinking of getting rid of this car and moving on... I was under the impression that nissan made a quality vehicle that was built to last and safe, but what kind of vehicle is safe that can't safely hold a 140 pound female into her seat??? Wake up nissan and do the right thing!!!! |
