Nissan Murano Seats Safety Report | Jan 22, 2013
Reported on Jan 22, 2013
| I PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN MURANO FROM A REPUTABLE CAR DEALER IN DALLAS,TEXAS ON DECEMBER 5, 2012. ON OR ABOUT JANUARY 22,2013, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT THE ABOVE MENTIONED SPEED AND HEARD A LOUD METAL CRACKING SOUND. AFTER THE CRACKING SOUND, THE SEAT BECAME UNSTABLE AND KEPT SHIFTING BACK AND FORTH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO CAR DEALER AND THEY CHECKED THE DRIVER FRONT SEAT AND INFORMED THEY WOULD ORDER A PART TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IN THE MEANTIME, THEY ANCHORED THE SEAT, BUT TWO DAYS LATER, THE SEAT CAME LOOSE AGAIN AND I INQUIRED ABOUT THE PART THEY SAID THEY WOULD ORDER. THE SALESMAN TOLD ME IT WAS ON ORDER BECAUSE THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE SALESMAN CONTACTED ME AND SAID HE HAD BAD NEWS, THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART IN STOCK AND WOULD HAVE TO BACK ORDER IT. I WAITED FOR A WEEK AND THEN THE SAME SALESMAN CONTACTED ME AND SAID THE SEAT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO FIX THE DEFECT OR THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALER AND MAYBE NISSAN WOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR. AFTER SAID CONVERSATION, I RETURNED TO MY OFFICE AND LOOKED UP THIS DEFECT AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THESE SEATS COMING LOOSE IN THE 2006 NISSAN MURANO, IAND 2007 NISSAN MURANO. FURTHER, IN THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS THAT I REVIEWED, NOT ONLY DID THE COMPLAINTS INCLUDE THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT, BUT THE PASSENGER SEAT AS WELL AT A COST OF OVER $1,000.00 PER SEAT. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT NISSAN IS OBLIGATED TO RECALL THE 2006 NISSAN MURANO AND THE 2007 NISSAN MURANO FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC AND THE OWNERS OF THESE CARS. . *TR | |
