Nissan Murano Seats Safety Report | June 12, 2012
Reported on June 12, 2012
| MY NISSAN MURANO 2006 DRIVER SEAT STARTED ROCKING LAST WEEK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND FOUND THAT THE LEFT SEAT TRACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE PART COST IS $1118.90 AND WITH LABOR, IT'LL COST OVER $1400. I FOUND THIS ISSUE IN THE DEFECT INVESTIGATION FOR MY VEHICLE THAT WAS OPENED IN 2009 AND CLOSED IN 2010. ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, THIS WAS NOT FOUND TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE ALSO NOTICED MANY (VERY MANY) COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TODAY WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T GET IT FIXED AND IF THERE'S AN URGENCY. HE SAID THAT IF I DON'T GET IT FIXED, THE OTHER TRACK MAY BREAK AS WELL. AND IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THE WHOLE SEAT COULD FLIP BACKWARDS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY CONCERN, THIS HAS NOT BEEN MADE MORE SERIOUS. WHY KNOWING THERE'S A DEFECT, A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN PUT ON THIS ISSUE AND WHY THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT DONE THEIR PART TO ADDRESS THIS DEFECT. PLEASE RECONSIDER OPENING AN INVESTIGATION. NOT MANY PEOPLE HAVE $1400 TO PUT DOWN ON A SEAT ISSUE THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER IN THE FIRST PLACE. THANKS! *JS | |
