Nissan Murano Seats Safety Report | Oct 21, 2010
Reported on Oct 21, 2010
| 2006 NISSAN MURANO; DRIVER'S SEAT FELL DOWN AT THE REAR OF THE SEAT. DEALER STATES THAT IT IS A COMMONLY KNOWN FAILURE OF THE SEAT'S LIFT ASSEMBLY . THANKFULLY, I WAS ON A STRAIGHT ROAD AND NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE NEARBY WHEN IT HAPPENED. I SWERVED AT THE TIME AND STRAINED TO PULL OVER SAFELY B/C I COULDN'T REACH THE PEDALS VERY WELL WITH THE SEAT IN THE AWKWARD POSITION IT WAS IN. FOR SURE, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER, AND IS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN ON MANY VEHICLES. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT POOR MANUFACTURING IS TO BLAME. REALLY, THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED. WHAT A DANGER! *TR | |
