Nissan Murano Seats Safety Report | Nov 20, 2008
Reported on Nov 20, 2008
| I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO (PURCHASED NEW JANUARY 2006) WITH ABOUT 45K MILES ON IT WHEN---WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVERS SEAT ROCKED TO THE LEFT/LEFT REAR, CLEARLY BROKEN. SIDE-TO-SIDE LURCHING MOVEMENT OF THE SEAT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN CEDAR RAPIDS IOWA. THEY TOLD ME THE DRIVERS SEAT TRACK WAS BROKEN AND GAVE AN ESTIMATE OF $1,035.09 TO REPAIR. THIS INCLUDED $675.30 DRIVERS SEAT TRACK PART. THE PART NUMBER LISTED ON THE ESTIMATE WAS 87450-CA06A THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO MILEAGE (47K AT TIME OF THEIR DIAGNOSIS). THIS HAS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN, PARTICULARLY IF ANY ACCIDENT OCCURRED, AT WHICH TIME A SECURED SEAT WOULD BE IMPERATIVE. I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT THIS BASIC EQUIPMENT HAS A LIFESPAN OF LESS THAN THREE YEARS, YET WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS INCIDENT ONLINE, I FOUND MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME BROKEN SEAT IN 2006 AND 2005 MURANO MODEL YEARS. *TR | |
