Nissan Murano Seats Safety Report | July 02, 2012
Reported on July 02, 2012
| THE DRIVERS SEAT LEFT BRACKET BROKE FREE FROM FRAME, CAUSING THE SEAT TO TILT TO THE LEFT AND WOBBLE WHEN YOU DRIVE AND TAKE CORNERS. AFTER RESEARCH ONLINE, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF CASES OF THIS WITH THE MURANO AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE GETTING A RECALL OFF THE GROUND. IT IS THE SAME WELD THE SAME SIDE OF THE SAME SEAT IN EACH MURANO, HOW MUCH LOGIC DOES IT TAKE TO GET THIS UNDER RECALL? THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE CHAIR IS UNSTABLE. ALSO COMMON SENSE TELLS US WITH THE LEFT SIDE BROKEN THE RIGHT SIDE WELD IS UNDER MORE STRESS AND PHYSICS WILL PROVE IT WILL BREAK AS WELL LEAVING THE DRIVING SEAT UNATTACHED COMPLETELY AND THE DRIVER USING THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP FROM BEING THROWN INTO THE BACK SEAT. I CALLED NISSAN AND GOT A BUNCH OF BS PROPAGANDA DOUBLE SPEAK AND FEEL LIKE ANY COMPLAINT I WAS TRYING TO FILE WAS CRUMPLED AND TOSSED INTO THE TRASH BEFORE I WAS EVEN OFF THE PHONE. I HAVE LOVED MY MURANO UP TO THIS POINT, BUT SINCE NISSAN WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR WORK OR CORRECT WHAT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTER'S DEFECT, THEN I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANOTHER ONE. EVER! *TR | |
