| Description of the problem | Drivers side seat left rear bracket connecting the seat to the seat adjuster assembly broke, causing the seat to move freely up and down, especially while turning. This seems to be a common occurrence on this vehicle based on what i've read in forums. This could be very dangerous while you are turning your seat unexpectedly lifts up and could cause you to let go of the steering wheel and crash. The following webpage has comments from several murano owners who have experienced the same. Http://www. Nissanmurano. Org/forums/66-problems/1548-drivers-seat-10. Html. |
