| Description of the problem | My wife took the kids out of the car to the house and return to put the murano'07 into the garage. When she sat in the seat it was loose and felt that it had broken. She said it felt loose when she went to pick up the kids. I checked the seat and it was broken on the bottom beam that supports the cushion to the seat. This should not have happened just from seating in the seat. Also, took the vehicle to a nissan dealer and they stated that the seat assembly needs to be replaced which will cost about $1500. 00. This is an outrageous price to pay for something that should have not broken from normal use. *js |
