Nissan Murano Seats Safety Report | Nov 16, 2011
Reported on Nov 16, 2011
| DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY; LOOKED OVER LEFT SHOULDER TO CHANGE LANES AND HEARD LOUD POP. SEAT FELL BACK AND TO THE LEFT UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS DID CAUSE ME TO GO INTO ANOTHER LANE - THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ONE THERE AT THAT TIME. FOR THE REST OF THE RIDE THE SEAT BOUNCED UP AND DOWN AND MOVED FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS. I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS HAD THIS ISSUE. NISSAN DOES SELL A BRACKET TO HELP REINFORCE THIS BUT IT IS OVER $1000.00 OR YOU CAN BUY THE SEAT BRAND NEW FOR $2-3,000. ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE HEAT/ELECTRIC TO THE SEAT. THESE PRICES DO NOT INCLUDE LABOR EITHER. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN WITH ME EVERY DAY AND I AM THANKFUL THAT THIS DID NOT END IN AN ACCIDENT. IT SEEMS THAT EVENTUALLY IT MAY END THAT WAY FOR SOMEONE THOUGH. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE A SAFETY RECALL? DOES SOMEONE TRULY NEED TO LOOSE THEIR LIFE IN ORDER FOR A RECALL TO HAPPEN? WHEN YOU SPEND THIS MUCH ON A LUXURY VEHICLE YOU EXPECT IT TO STAND UP AND THE MAKER BEHIND IT TO STAND BEHIND IT!!! I AM EXTREMELY UNHAPPY AT THIS TIME WITH HOW NISSAN IS HANDLING THIS. *TR | |
