| Description of the problem | I bought a used nissan murano 2006 at 52000 miles. Very pleased with the car overall, a couple of months later my seat started making very squeaky noise. Until yesterday i kept driving having no idea what is going on. On my way to work my driver seat snapped on the left side. I almost crashed because it happened so suddenly. Apparently there are many complaints about the nissan defective seat but the dealer said there have been no recalls. The part alone is about 800$ to fix the problem that should not even occurred ever. |
