The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Murano. While the vehicle was parked as he set in the driver's seat the back left side of the seat collapsed. He had notice before the seat collapsed that the seat was wobbly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and he was advised that the frame of the seat was broken. The contact stated the dealer has ordered the part and he was waiting to hear back from them. He called the manufacturer and was waiting to hear back from them also. The failure and current mileage were 52,000. Updated 1/21/11 updated 03/23/11.
While driving down the highway I could hear what could best be described as a combination click and snap. At the same time I felt the lower left side of the drivers seat move. After further investigation (pictures available), I found that a supporting bracket has sheared in two places. This causes the seat to be very loose. One of the power seat functions will cause the seat to raise up only on the right side.
