Nissan Murano Seats Safety Report | Sept 12, 2012
Reported on Sept 12, 2012
| I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH MY GIRLFRIEND AND 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. WE WERE DRIVING INTO A CURVE TO THE RIGHT AND I HEARD A LOUD POP. AT THE SAME TIME THE DRIVER SEAT WHICH I WAS SITTING IN FELL BACK AND TO THE LEFT CAUSING ME THE JERK THE WHEEL. WE SHOT ACROSS THE OTHER LANE SPUN AROUND AND SKIDDED TO A STOP. LUCKILY, NO CARS WERE COMING THE OTHER WAY . I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AT THE TIME UNTIL I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO BEING ABLE TO AFFORD TO FIX IT (BEING A NISSAN I KNEW IT WASN'T GOING TO BE CHEAP) , I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 NISSAN MURANO. AND THAT MINE WAS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. I CAME ACROSS HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM, SO IT MAKES ME WONDER AFTER MY ORDEAL, HOW LONG BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED FROM THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT. , NISSAN HAS TO BE AWARE OF IT ,BUT STILL THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THE AMERICAN PUBLIC . PLEASE TELL ME SOMEONE IS ON TOP OF THIS BECAUSE ITS NOT A TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR OR A HEAD LAMP FUSE, THIS IS THE DRIVER SEAT .IS THERE ANY MORE IMPORTANT THING IN THE CAR THAN KEEPING THE DRIVER IN CONTROL ? I THINK EVERYBODY WOULD AGREE NO. SOMEONE PLEASE DO SOMETHING. *TR | |
