Nissan Murano Seats Safety Report | Apr 03, 2011
Reported on Apr 03, 2011
| I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. WHILE I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT SNAPPED AND STARTED TO SAG SIGNIFICANTLY. I LUCKILY MAINTAINED CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE DESPITE THE SUDDEN ROCK BACK IN THE SEAT. I DID NOTHING TO CAUSE THIS AND I WEIGH UNDER 200 LBS. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT I AM AWARE OF. I THEN TOOK IT TO A DEALER WHO SAID THAT IT WOULD COST ME $600 WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT THE CAR. I JUST TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED AND HE KNEW THE PIECES AND PRICES. IT SEEMS TO BE AN INCREDIBLY COMMON PROBLEM BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT SO FAR. THIS SEAT BREAKING COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, INJURIES, OR EVEN DEATH WHEN IT HAPPENS. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN THIS FORUM AND I HAVE SEEN COMPLAINTS IN SEVERAL OTHER FORUMS. WILL THIS BE ALLOWED TO BE CONTINUED AT THE SAFETY OF OTHER DRIVERS OR WILL THIS PROBLEM BE RESOLVED? NISSAN DOESN'T APPEAR TO CARE ABOUT IT, QUITE THE OPPOSITE THEY SEEM HAPPY TO CHARGE RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS OF MONEY TO FIX IT. SO I'M HOPING THAT A SOLUTION FOR THIS CAN BE FOUND. *TR | |
