Nissan Murano Seats Safety Report | Apr 07, 2009
Reported on Apr 07, 2009
| WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD DOING 25MPH TO THE INTERSECTION AND MADE A LEFT HAND TURN ON THE ALREADY GREEN LIGHT. WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN THE BACK LEFT PORTION OF MY SEAT LIFTED UP SEVERAL INCHES CAUSING ME TO LEAN SUDDENLY TO THE RIGHT. MANAGED TO REGAIN CONTROL THROUGH THE TURN. NOW WHEN MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS I HAVE TO HOLD ON TO MY DOOR HANDLE WITH MY LEFT HAND TO AVOID CAUSING THE SEAT TO LIFT AND LEAN EXTREMELY TO THE RIGHT EVEN UNDER MILD SPEED. ONCE I GOT HOME I TOOK THE LEFT SIDE PLASTIC PANEL OFF THE DRIVERS SEAT AND UPON LIFTING UP THE REAR LEFT CORNER OF THE SEAT COULD SEE WHERE THE CROSS SUPPORT BRACKET HAD BROKEN THE TWO SMALL CONTACT POINTS WITH THE SIDE BRACKET. WILL TRY TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO HOPEFULLY HAVE REPAIRED/REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR | |
