“My drivers side seat just broke on the back left side so now you can't sit in it and drive. I now sit crooked in the seat and don't feel safe driving it, what if I was in an accident and my seat now might throw me somewhere because it is now broken. This should be a recall.”
NHTSA complaint #10761130, filed 2015-09, 150,000 miles“Driver side seat bracket broke during a turn. Temporarily caused me to loose control of vehicle but was able to regain control before an accident could happen. Our only car and we have a 2 1/2 year old child. After doing research on this, I discovered that this is a very common failure and Nissan has yet to issue a recall.”
NHTSA complaint #10446571, filed 2012-02, 110,000 miles“I got in my Murano, started it, and began to drive. Suddenly, the left side of my seat dropped several inches (about 5 or 6 inches). This drop created a jerk to the left. Upon inspection of the underside of the driver's seat I found the support bracket to be broken (cracked in both support points).”
NHTSA complaint #10536493, filed 2013-08, 98,000 miles“I own a 2004 Nissan Murano and the driver seat has broken within the last 2 months. It rocks side to side and front to back when applying the brakes. I took it to a mechanic and paid to have it welded but it did not hold. This is dangerous as if it breaks while driving, this structure failure to the driver seat could cause a fatality. This is a common problem with this vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10393864, filed 2011-03, 124,000 miles“There was a structural failure of the anchor/bracket underneath the driver's seat. While I am driving, the seat rocks from side to side, and dips up and down. When I turn, the seat rocks a couple of inches down and then pops back as I come out of the turn.”
