“My drivers side seat started wobbling and it feels dangerous in case of any kind of crash. The other day I pulled into driveway and heard a pop and the side where the buttons are popped out and I cannot find one of them. The part where the buttons for seat adjustment just fell out and I pushed back but still afraid in case of collision. I have read on plenty of forums where the seat frame breaks. I am older and I cant afford to fix it but I am afraid to drive it”

“Normal driving and the seat broke and has been for several years causing instability and oscillation. Recently my steering wheel will not align, brought it to a mechanic that informed me the rear sub-frame is cracked on both sides causing the tires to malign, creating un-even wear on the back tires and a hazard to drive.”

“THE LEFT, DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT SEAT OF MY 2006 NISSAN MURANO BROKE WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING. THE SUPPORT BRACKET CRACKED COMPLETELY, LEAVING THE SEAT TILTED DOWNWARD SEVERAL INCHES ON THE LEFT SIDE. THE CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN THIS CONDITION BECAUSE THE SEAT IS BOUNCING AT AN ODD ANGLE. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN MURANO. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT AN NHTSA RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED.”
