Nissan Murano Seats Safety Report | Apr 23, 2012
Reported on Apr 23, 2012
| THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER SEAT SOMEHOW BROKE UNDER NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE SEAT LEANS TO THE LEFT SIDE AND WOBBLES TO THE FRONT AND BACK. THEREFORE HAVING TO ACCELERATE, DECELERATE, TURN CORNERS AND GO OVER ROUGH ROAD CAUSES THE SEAT TO MOVE ALL OVER THE PLACE. I BELIEVE THIS CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE. THIS IS A NISSAN DESIGN FLAW THAT SHOULD BE ON A RECALL NOTICE AND CORRECTED BY NISSAN FREE OF CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SEAT AND FOR MANY, THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE SOME OUTRAGEOUS PRICE TO GET THE PROBLEM CORRECTED. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WHICH FLOPS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WHEN RETURNED TO IT'S NORMAL PLACE, IT WILL FALL DOWN. THIS CAUSES ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE. THE VISIBILITY IS COMPROMISED AND AN ACCIDENT COULD VERY WELL OCCUR. PLEASE ADDRESS THESE DESIGN FLAWS FOR RECALLS. *TR | |
