2005 NISSAN MURANO Complaints

THE DRIVER SEAT BROKE OFF IT,S BASE. WHILE TURNING RIGHT, I COULD ACTUALLY FEEL MY BODY LIFT. NISSAN DENIED MY CLAIM FOR REPAIR BECAUSE THE CAR WAS 3YEARS OLD. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CLOSEST SHOP TO HAVE IT REPAIRED FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE BASE WAS ORDERED FROM CONTINENTAL NISSAN AND REPLACED AT A COST OF $972. I FILED A CLAIM WITH NISSAN CORPORATION. IT WAS DENIED ON AUG 28TH PRIMARILY BECAUSE I TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. THERE WAS NO WAY THAT I COULD HAVE DRIVEN AN UNSAFE CAR FOR 4MONTHS UNTIL THAT DECISION WAS MADE. *TR

NISSAN MURANO 2005 : DRIVERS POWER SEAT. THE DRIVE GEAR (MADE OF PLASTIC) IS STRIPPED BY THE WORM GEAR (METAL). I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MY DEALER AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. THEY WILL NOT ASSIST ME WITH THE $1000.00 REPAIR. IF NISSAN WOULD SUPPLY JUST THE DRIVE GEAR THIS REPAIR COULD BE MADE EASILY. THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART. YOU MUST BUY THE ENTIRE SEAT TRACK. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO. DRIVER'S SEAT REAR LEFT BRACKET IS BROKEN. IT IS A SMALL, THIN, L-SHAPED BRACKET THAT IS BROKEN IN TWO PLACES. THE SEAT IS NO LONGER "ATTACHED" TO THE FRAME (ON THIS CORNER) AND THE SEAT ROCKS WHEN YOU SIT IN IT AND AS YOU ARE DRIVING IT. THERE WAS NO CRASH AND BOTH DRIVERS OF THIS VEHICLE WEIGH LESS THAN 200 LBS, SO OVER-STRESSING IS NOT A PROBLEM. THIS OCCURRED IN AUGUST OF 2009 AND IT HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS $910 FOR THE REPAIR OR $700 FOR THE PART ALONE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THERE IS A CRASH, THE SEAT WILL NOT REMAIN ATTACHED TO THE CAR. *TR
