2006 Nissan Murano Seats

THE DRIVER'S SEAT COMES OFF THE TRACK THAT IT IS INSTALLED ON- THIS CREATES QUITE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR A DRIVER AS WHEN THEY GO AROUND A CORNER THEIR SEAT ACTUALLY MOVES. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAVE NO IDEA WHY NISSAN HAS NOT DONE A RECALL AND HAD THE SITUATION REPLACED OR REPAIRED. I'M NOT SURE IF THE TRACK THE SEAT IS ON CRACKS OR WHAT OCCURS, BUT THE SEAT COMES OFF THE TRACK AND IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET BACK ON- I HAVE HAD REPAIR ESTIMATES OVER $700 TO FIX THIS. IT IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE FOR DRIVERS AND CAN IMPACT THEIR DRIVING ABILITY AND POSSIBLY CREATE AN ACCIDENT. *JS

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND A LOUD NOISE HAPPENED. DRIVER SEAT LEANS TO THE LEFT AND AS YOU MAKE TURNS IT MOVES BACK AND FOURTH. VERY DANGEROUS. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WEARING MY SEAT BELT NOW. IF I WAS TO GET INTO A ACCIDENT THE WHOLE SEAT WOULD GO FLYING WITH ME.

DRIVER NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE WHEN DRIVERS SEAT STRUCTURE SNAPPED LEAVING DRIVER OUT OF ALIGNMENT WITH STEERING WHEEL AS WELL AS GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS.. NOTE: THIS REQUIRES AN IMMEDIATE RECALL ....[XXX] HUMAN FACTORS ENGINEER, CERTIFIED BY U.S. GOVERNMENT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE SHE HEARD A LOUD POP AND SUDDENLY THE SEAT FELL TO THE LEFT AGAIN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. SHE ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN SHE GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED SHE NOTICED THAT THE SEAT WAS VERY UNSTABLE AND WHEN PUSHED TO THE CENTER OF THE CAR WITH ONE FINGER WAS NO LONGER ATTACHED TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR. WHEN I WAS CALLED TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE I FOUND THAT THE FRAME OF THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT HAD SHEARED INTO TWO PIECES AND IN FACT SHE WAS RIGHT. THE SEAT WAS NO LONGER ATTACHED TO THE FLOOR ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT. I LOOKED THIS UP ON THE WEB AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER AMERICANS WHO BOUGHT THIS CAR. NOTE: THIS CAR IS A 2006 BUT, MY WIFE ONLY DRIVES IT ON THE WEEKENDS AND THE CAR HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE AS INDICATED ABOVE. THIS IS A VERY BAD SAFETY ISSUE AS THE SEAT COULD NOW BREAK LOOSE ON THE OTHER SIDE AND THE WHOLE SEAT COULD WIND UP FALLING INTO THE REAR SEAT AREA. THIS WOULD DEFINITELY CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD BE RIPPED OUT OF THE DRIVERS HANDS AND THEIR FEET WOULD BE PULLED AWAY FROM THE GAS AND THE BRAKE PEDALS. *TR

NISSAN MURANO 2006 WITH 80 THOUSAND MILES IN GREAT CONDITION,NO FENDER BENDERS. TWO ADULT DRIVERS USE CAR .OUR WEIGHT 175 LBS AND 140LBS. WHILE DRIVING ON A MAIN STREET UNDER 40 MPH (LIMIT 45) , COMING UP TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I NOTICED MY DRIVERS SEAT STARTED TO BOUNCE WHILE TRYING TO STOP. WHEN THE SEAT COMES BACK DOWN IT GIVES A THUMPING SOUND. SHORT TIME LATER WHEN I ARRIVED HOME A SHOCKING FEELING CAME OVER ME AFTER I SAW MY DRIVER SEAT BOUNCE LOOSE WITH ONLY A PUSH OF A SMALL FINGER. I WAS SCARED THAT MY LIFE WAS IN DANGER ,IF I HAD TO DO AN EMERGENCY MANEUVER DUE TO A NON SECURE SEAT EVEN WITH SEAT BELTS. THEN I REALIZED I COULD HAVE PLACED OTHER PEOPLE IN HARMS WAY BY HAVING MY SEAT BREAK OFF AND FLIPPING BACKWARDS AND NOT BEING ABLE TO REACH THE BRAKES. A SCARY THOUGHT .I WOULD NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF IF I HARMED SOME ONE EVEN TO HAVING AN OEM SEAT BREAK LOOSE. PLEASE RECALL OR INSPECT ALL MURANO FRONT SEAT FRAMES. *TR

BOUGHT CAR USED IN MAY 2013. AUGUST 14 GOT INTO CAR IN MORNING FOR WORK AND SEAT FELT WOBBLY. WHEN I LEFT WORK AND GOT INTO CAR SEAT LEANED BACK AND TOWARDS DRIVERS DOOR. IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO MECHANICS SHOP AND WAS THEN TOLD THE SEAT SUPPORT HAD BROKEN AGAIN. HAD BEEN WELDED ONCE BEFORE AND WELD BROKE. WHEN LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT SEAT READ THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES THAT NISSAN HAD MADE A REPLACEMENT PART THAT WAS A SOLID PIECE OF METAL THAT CORRECTED THE "Y" SHAPED BRACKET THAT HAS BROKEN REPEATEDLY ON MANY CARS USUALLY @ 75,000 MILES. NISSAN DID NOT GIVE THIS PIECE TO THE MURANOS OWNERS, INSTEAD SOLD IT TO THEM. FURIOUS AND DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN FOR NOT HAVING A RECALL. PEOPLE COULD DIE IF THEY WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THIS HAPPENED. *TR

I WAS ROUNDING A CURVE IN THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 25 MPH AND MY SEAT TRACK BROKE! I KNOW THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE VIA INTERNET RESEARCH. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD! IF I WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT, MY SEAT WOULD FAIL COMPLETELY AND I'D BE BADLY INJURED OR AT WORST HURLED THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD!! THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL!!!! FURTHERMORE, I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS QUOTED ME OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS!! ARE YOU GOING TO WAIT FOR A GRAPHIC DEATH BEFORE YOU FIX THIS ISSUE. IF YOU GOOGLE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS, I'M SURE YOU'LL SEE IT CONSTITUTES A RECALL! *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT COLLAPSED TO THE LEFT . AFTER INSPECTION ,DISCOVERED THE SEAT WELD BROKE . I CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IN TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR INSPECTION . I TOLD THE NISSAN AGENT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE WITH MURANO'S FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON THE NISSAN FORUMS. I WILL POST AS TO RESOLUTION AFTER DEALER INSPECTS FAILED SEAT WELD. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL BACK ROAD I FELT A SPRING OR SOMETHING BRAKE UNDER THE LEFT SIDE OF MY DRIVER SEAT. AT FIRST I THOUGHT A PITHIER SPRING GAVE OUT! I WAS WRONG, ONE OF THE PARTS THAT HOLDS MY SEAT UP AND IN PLACE BROKE! I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT AND SAFETY ISSUE. I LOOKED UP THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND HAVE SEEN THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE INCLUDING MY COUSIN. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS SAFETY DEFECT RESOLVED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME *TR

I WAS TURNING AND NOTICE THAT MY SEAT WAS MOVING. ROCKING MOTION AND IS NOT SECURE. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT FRAME FAILURE. CHAIR BECAME VERY WOBBLY AND MY WIFE ALMOST CRASHED THE VEHICLE. SHE HAD TO STOP THE CAR, LOWER THE SEAT TO THE VERY LOWEST TO FLATTEN OUT THE WOBBLE, THEN SHE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. DRIVING THIS WAS COMPROMISES HER ABILITY TO SIT UP HIGHER AND SEE MORE OF THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS AND NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. REPLACEMENT FOR THE SEAT 1200-1800, JUST THE FRAME ALONE IS 800. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND DANGEROUS. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE LEFT WELD BRACKET BROKE ON MY SEAT. NO ROT OR RUST. A SERIOUS DESIGN DEFECT. THE SEAT MOVES ALL AROUND AND IS NOT SECURED TO THE VEHICLES FRAME ANY LONGER. IN AN ACCIDENT WOULD NOT KEEP DRIVER SAFE. HOW ON EARTH IS THIS NOT A RECALLED ISSUE ??!!!! I SUPPOSE YOUR WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE. *TR

THERE IS A KNOWN FACT THAT THE DRIVERS SEAR ON THE NISSAN MURANO (2006-2011) HAS AN ISSUE WHERE THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS POORLY CONSTRUCTED AND THE SEAT FRAME SNAPS AROUND 80,000 MILES. MY SEAT BROKE WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 50 MPH DOWN THE STREET, ALMOST MAKING MY WIFE CRASH THE CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN, AND THEY OFFERED TO PAY 50% OF THE $1600 REPAIR. NOT FAIR TO ME AT ALL. I HAVE ESCALATED THE MATTER TO THE REGIONAL TEAM, AND THEY OFFERED NO MORE HELP AT ALL. READING OTHER CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET, IT APPEARS THAT NISSAN ISN'T ADMITTING TO THE POOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE SEAT, BUT HAS SINCE CHANGED THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SEAT IN RECENT MODELS TO A BETTER CONSTRUCTION OF THE FRAME WHERE IT SHOULD NOT BREAK. THIS SAME COMPLAINT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET; SEVERAL VIDEOS HAVE BEEN POSTED IN REGARDS TO EXACT SAME CLAIMS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LOUD POPPING SOUND HEARD FROM UNDER THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT. THE SEAT BEGAN SLIDING BACK AND FORTH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT FRAME WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000. *TR

I HAD JUST STOPPED MY VEHICLE AND OPENED THE DRIVER'S DOOR, TO EXIT. AS I BEGAN TO EXIT, THE BACK LEFT CORNER OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT COLLAPSED. I REMOVED THE SEAT CONTROL PANEL AND OBSERVED THE METAL SEAT FRAME HAD BROKEN. NOTE: THIS IS THE SECOND TIME, IN THE EXACT SAME LOCATION, THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME THE NISSAN DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR OFFERED TO WELD IT FOR JUST UNDER $500.00 DOLLARS OR REPLACE THE FRAME FOR JUST OVER $1300.00 DOLLARS. ADDITIONALLY, I PURCHASED A "CERTIFICATION" WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN I BOUGHT IT USED (2009 WITH 7900 MILES) AND THE CERTIFICATION, ALTHOUGH STILL ACTIVE, DOES NOT COVER THIS PART. IF I HAD PURCHASED A "GOLD" CERTIFICATION, IT WOULD HAVE BE COVERED. I OPTED TO GO TO A LOCAL, FULL SERVICE AUTO BODY SHOP WHERE IT WAS WELDED FOR $150.00. I RE-CONTACTED THE SAME LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AGAIN AND THEY OFFERED TO RESEARCH THE INCIDENT AND ATTEMPT TO HELP. TWO DAYS LATER I WAS CONTACTED AND TOLD THAT THE LOCAL NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS REPRESENTATIVE DENIED COVERING ANY PART OF THE REPAIR. THE NISSAN STORE THEN OFFERED TO PAY 50% OF THE REPLACEMENT COST CITING MY CUSTOMER LOYALTY (PURCHASING 5 CARS FROM THEM AN ANOTHER 3 FROM THEIR GROUP). *TR

AS I ENTERED MY VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER SEAT WAS LOOSE AND COULD BE EASILY LIFTED WITH ONE HAND. ON CLOSER INSPECTION I SAW THAT THE WELDING IS BROKEN ON THE SEAT FRAME ASSEMBLY. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AND TWICE THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT MY SITUATION BECAUSE MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP QUOTED $2,476.68 PLUS TAX TO REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT SLIDE ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTER, ALONG WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE PLASTIC SIDE FINISHERS AND NISSAN REFUSES TO EVEN CONSIDER OFFERING ASSISTANCE IN PAYMENT. RIGHT NOW I'M DRIVING WITH A PIECE OF 2X4 AND SOME SCREWS TO HOLD MY SEAT IN ONE POSITION. THIS IS NOT A LIGHT-HEARTED MATTER. NISSAN KNOWS THEY ARE NEGLIGENT AND REFUSE TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE SEATS. MY MOST PRECIOUS CARGO IS MY 3 YR. OLD GRANDDAUGHTER. EVERY TIME I BUCKLE HER IN HER CAR SEAT, I PRAY TO GOD THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A COLLISION OF ANY KIND. THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED NOW - NOT AFTER AN ACCIDENT AND/OR DEATH CAUSED BY THE SEAT COMING COMPLETELY APART AND ME NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP THE CAR SAFELY. MY FAMILY DOES NOT WANT COMPENSATION FOLLOWING MY GRANDDAUGHTER AND/OR I BEING HOSPITALIZED OR KILLED. WE NEED THIS MATTER TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL DRIVERS/PASSENGERS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL CAR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH, IN THE LEFT LANE OF A 6 LANE HIGHWAY MY DRIVER'S SEAT SUDDENLY BUCKLED, SNAPPED, AND DROPPED TOWARDS THE DOOR. I IMMEDIATELY PANICKED, AFRAID TO TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD I BEGAN WORKING MY WAY TO THE EXTREME RIGHT LANE TO PULL OVER AND SEE WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. WITH NO PRIOR INDICATIONS OF ANY PROBLEMS MY SIT JUST SUDDENLY BROKE AND I WAS LEANING ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO MY NISSAN DEALER I WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THIS MATTER, LATER I LEARNED THIS TO BE A COMMON NISSAN PROBLEM. I WAS CHARGED $149.00 FOR PART AND $272.14 FOR LABOR TO HAVE 87473-CA01A :LINK ASSY-RR LI INSTALLED. SINCE THIS REPAIR THE BOTTOM SEAT MOLDING IS NOW HANGING OFF MY SEAT, I HAVE BEEN TOLD I NEED TO PURCHASE A NEW SEAT FRAME ALSO!. *TR

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROX. 30 MPH WHEN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT GAVE WAY CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LEAN TO THE LEFT HITTING THE LEFT FRONT DOOR. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF SAID VEHICLE BUT BECAME ALARMED AT THE SUDDEN NATURE OF THE EVENT. IT APPEARS THAT A BRACKET SUPPORTING THE SEAT BROKE. INTERNET RESEARCH AND DISCUSSIONS WITH NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE (LOCAL FACILITY) IS VERY AWARE OF THE SEAT PROBLEM. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS OF FAILED BRACKETS WITH THE 2003-2009 MURANO. TO DATE, I BELIEVE THERE HAVE BEEN NO FATALITIES CAUSED BY THE SUDDEN BREAKAGE, BUT IN I MY HUMBLE OPINION, IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME. I AM STUNNED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. NISSAN SHOULD TAKE THE INITIATIVE AND BE PROACTIVE AND HAVE SAID VEHICLES FIXED. *TR

THE SEAT MECHANISM HAS BROKEN 2 TIMES. IT MAY NOT BE SAFE. THE DRIVERS SEAT SEEMS LOOSE SOMETHING THAT HOLDS THE SLIDING PARTS BREAKS. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. I COULD SEE WHERE IN A CRASH THE SEAT MAY FAIL TO HOLD ITS POSITION. *TR

NISSAN- MURANO'S 2003-2010. WHILE TRAVELING AT APX. 20 MPH ON STRAIGHT ROAD WITH A PASSENGER, WE HEAR LOUD POP, 2006 MURANO. THEREAFTER, THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS LEANING TO THE REAR AND OFF BALANCE "ROCK LIKE A ROCKING CHAIR FROM SIDE TO SIDE, LEANING BACK ON ONE SIDE FEELING LIKE SEAT COULD JUST COME OFF COMPLETELY AND OUT OF LINE IN ITS ORIGINAL CONFIGURATION". AFTER INVESTIGATING FURTHER, A "DEFECTIVE METAL BRACING APPARATUS" THAT IS SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT THE SEAT AND HAS FAILED ON MANY OR MOST OF THIS CLASS. CORPORATE NISSAN TELLS CLIENTS "SORRY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY", OR, NOT A COVERED ITEM ON LIMITED WARRANTIES. NISSAN IS AWARE THIS IS AN ENORMOUS PROBLEM, THE MAGNITUDE OF CARS BROUGHT IN, THE SAFETY ISSUES, BUT CONTINUED TO MANUFACTURE, PRODUCE, ADVERTISE, SELL CLAIM "REPAIR" SUCH VEHICLES. WHY NOT,"A GREAT AMOUNT OF MONEY IS MADE FOR EVERY CLIENT COMING IN AT THEIR MERCY FOR THIS DEFECT". THIS PART FAILS ON NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF SOMEONE IS OPERATING THIS VEHICLE AT A HIGHER SPEED. THE CAR IS NOT MECHANICALLY SAFE, AND NISSAN IS RUNNING A BUSINESS ON EXCESSIVE CHARGES ON CUSTOMERS IN THE THOUSANDS TO HAVE " REPAIRED". IN ADDITION, THE REPAIRS ARE NOT GUARANTEED AND THE SAME DEFECTIVE MECHANISMS THAT FAILED ORIGINALLY ARE USED OVER AGAIN FOR REPAIRS. MANUFACTURING, SALES AND REPAIRS CONTINUE THEREAFTER FOR 7 YEARS OF MONEY MADE AT THE MERCY OF CUSTOMERS. A RECALL SHOULD BE INSTITUTED AND RESTITUTION TO ALL NISSAN OWNERS THAT HAVE OR WILL BE AFFECTED DUE TO GROSS NEGLIGENT LIABILITY ON PART OF NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. THE (LEFT REAR SUPPORT) MECHANISM IS DEFECTIVE ON DRIVERS SEAT, AND UNSUITABLE TO PROVIDE ANY SUPPORT OR WITHSTAND NORMAL FORCE. ITS MADE LIKE "TIN - FOIL" TO SUPPORT A DRIVER. AN IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION, RECALL AND CLASS ACTION SHOULD BE INSTITUTED ON ALL VEHICLES OF THIS CLASS! *TR

WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY CAR, JUST REACH TO MAIN ROAD AND HEARD A NOISE AND DRIVER SEAT BENT DOWN FROM LEFT REAR. LOOK LIKE DRIVER SEAT FRAME IS BROKEN FROM LEFT REAR SIDE AND SEAT IS GOING DOWN ON LEFT AND TOUGH TO DRIVE. WENT TO DEALER HE SAID YOU CAN'T DRIVE ITS SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

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

I WAS DRIVING FROM WORK, WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POPPING SOUND UNKNOWN WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM SO I PULLED OVER TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE. AS I EXITED MY SEAT I NOTICE THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT WAS LEANING / ROCKING TO THE LEFT SIDE AND APPARENTLY SOMETHING HAD BROKEN. I NOTIFIED NISSAN CORPORATION OFFICES WHERE I SPOKE TO A CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TO SEE IF IT WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE DIVER SIDE SEAT. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS BUT TAKE TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND HAVE IT LOOKED AT THEN DO A FOLLOW UP CALL WITH HIM AFTERWARDS. I THEN WENT ON LINE AND NOTICES THAT IT WAS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I WAS EXPERIENCING. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUED AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE BEFORE NISSAN REALIZE IT. *TR

THERE WAS A POPPING NOISE UNDER MY SEAT AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DRIVER'S SEAT SAGGED TO THE BACK AND LEFT TOWARDS THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND CHECKED THE SEAT. IT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH NOW BECAUSE THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE SEAT IS BROKEN. MY SEAT LITERALLY FALLS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE CAR FLOOR NOW. I DECIDED TO LOOK THIS PROBLEM UP ONLINE AND I WAS ASTOUNDED TO SEE THAT THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF 2006 NISSAN MURANOS WITH THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE EXACT SAME SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS AS WHAT I HAD. WHAT WAS EVEN MORE INCREDULOUS TO ME WAS THE FAT THAT NISSAN HASN'T PUT OUT A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AND EXPECTS THE CONSUMER TO PAY FOR THE SEAT WHICH APPARENTLY IS GOING TO COST ME UP TO $1500 FOR THE SEAT. THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND NISSAN SHOULD PUT OUT A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. IT MAKES THE CAR VERY HARD TO DRIVE AND CAN CAUSE THE DRIVE TO JERK TO THE LEFT WHEN THE SEAT LUNGES BACKWARDS POSSIBLY CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. ON THE NEWS TODAY THERE WAS A RECALL FOR A CHILD'S ITEM THAT ONLY HAD 6 COMPLAINTS AND THEY RECALLED IT. NISSAN HAS HAD THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS AND NOTHING. *TR

WELD BROKE ON DRIVER SEAT ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY (BRACKET/FRAME). APPARENTLY, A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. *TR
