Nissan Murano Seats Safety Report | Mar 13, 2013
Reported on Mar 13, 2013
| I WAS GETTING OUT OF MY NISSAN MURANO TO PICK UP MY CHILD FROM SCHOOL. WHEN I GOT OUT I HEARD A STRANGE POP/CRACK NOISE AND THE SEAT WAS TITLED TO THE LEFT BACK. I OPENED THE BACK DOOR AND LOOKED UNDER THE SEAT AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A PIECE OF METAL THAT HAD BROKEN. THIS CAUSED THE SEAT TO FALL BACKWARDS AND TO THE LEFT. I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE IT UNTIL I FOUND A PLASTIC CUP TALL ENOUGH TO HOLD UP THE BACK LEFT CORNER OF THE SEAT SO I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE US HOME. I'M A SINGLE MOTHER BARELY MAKING IT AND CANT AFFORD A $1200 REPAIR. ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINT. THE DEALERSHIPS OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE STATED THAT IT IS A COMMON ISSUE. THIS COMMON ISSUE, HAD I BEEN DRIVING WOULD HAVE CAUSED A WRECK AND THE MANUFACTURER WILL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY. I PURCHASED THIS USED AND NOW I KNOW WHY THE PRIOR TWO OWNERS GOT RID OF IT. I ALSO WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT NISSAN CARED ABOUT THE PEOPLE PURCHASING THEIR VEHICLES. I WANTED A SAFE TRUCK TO TRANSPORT MY CHILD. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE THE BRACKET FREE OF CHARGE KNOWING THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE. *TR | |
