Nissan Murano Seats Safety Report | Jan 11, 2013
Reported on Jan 11, 2013
| I SAT DOWN IN THE DRIVERS SEAT, STARTED TO PULL OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND HEARD A CRACKING SOUND AND FELT THE LEFT REAR OF THE SEAT DROP DOWN 1-2 INCHES. THE SEAT ROCKS FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHILE DRIVING. AFTER LOOKING IN THE AREA OF THE PRIOR LOUD CRACKING SOUND, I FOUND THE LEFT REAR SEAT BRACKET IS BROKEN. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF REPORTS ON THE INTERNET OF THIS PART FAILING IN MANY YEARS OF THE MURANO VEHICLE AND AN UPDATED STRONGER PART IS NOW AVAILABLE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBELM WITH THE MURANO AND FEEL THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT SHOULD BE THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL AND REPAIRED FOR NO COST TO THE OWNER. *TR | |
