Nissan Murano Seats Safety Report | Sept 02, 2010
Reported on Sept 02, 2010
| THE DRIVER'S SEAT JAMMED IN ONE POSITION AND WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD. TOOK VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WELD ON THE FRAME BROKE AND BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT WARRANT WELDING IT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FRAME, WHICH INCLUDED ALL MOTORS AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND THE COST WOULD BE $1,400. I THOUGHT THE COST WAS ASTRONOMICAL FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. I DID NOT HAVE IT REPAIRED, BUT NOW OBVIOUSLY MY CONCERN IS THAT THE SEAT MAY BREAK AWAY FROM THE FRAME COMPLETELY AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. AFTER MY WIFE AND I WENT ONLINE AND VIEWED SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM, I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THERE HAVE BEEN TOO MANY SIMILAR INCIDENTS FOR THIS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY DEFAULT! | |
