Nissan Murano Seats Safety Report | Oct 19, 2008
Reported on Oct 19, 2008
| ON OCT. 19TH MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ARE 2006 NISSAN MURANO, I WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND ARE SON WAS IN THE BACK. WE HAD JUST PULLED AWAY FROM THE HOUSE AND WE HEARD A LOAD POP. MY WIFE SAID I THINK THE SEAT JUST BROKE. WE CONTINUED ON TO HOME DEPOT AND THERE I EXAMINED THE SEAT AND YES THE SEAT WAS BROKEN AS THE BACK LEFT SECTION OF THE SEAT IS UNATTACHED FROM THE FRAME AND CAN BE RAISED AND LOWERED AT WILL. WE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP MONDAY OCT. 20TH AND THEY REAFFIRMED THAT THE SEAT ASSEMBLY WAS BROKEN AND THE PART WOULD BE 615.00 AND THE LABOR ANOTHER 200 PLUS DOLLARS. I MADE A CALL TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND AFTER ALMOST TWO WEEKS OF DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM THEY WERE WILLING TO ONLY ALLOW FOR A 200.00 GOOD WILL REIMBURSEMENT. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS IS NOT A MECHANICAL PART BUT A STRUCTURAL PART AND THAT IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN ESPECIALLY ON A 2 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH 53000 MILES. I EXPLAINING THAT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN ITS CONDITION AND THAT NISSAN SHOULD STAND BEHIND IT. THERE ARE MANY INSTANCES OF INDIVIDUALS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE IF YOU SEARCH THE WEB FOR IT AS WELL AS A SERVICE BULLETIN POST BY NISSAN ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A STRUCTURAL PART NOT A MECHANICAL PART AND WITH IT BROKEN IT MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE FOR ME, MY WIFE AND OUR SON. WE WILL HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED ON OCT. 31 AS ARE FAMILY IS DEPENDENT ON THE VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORTATION. *TR | |
