| Description of the problem | When i initially purchased my 2007 murano, the driver-side electric seat would rock slightly when leaning forward or back. Recently the frame connecting the front of the seat (just under the cushion) to the floor frame snapped and caused the entire seat to fold backwards. Luckily i had just pulled into my driveway and was able to step on the brake and put it in park before i was in an accident. Upon examination, the frame necessary to secure the seat to the floor was woefully inadequate. I have searched the internet and have found many others complaining of the same issue. |
