Mid/rear Seats Assembly problems of the 2005 Nissan Murano

Complaint: drivers seat rear bracket snapped off making the seat sway from side to side, unable to drive when cornering, was driving on rt 81 at 70mph had to find the nearest exit to stop, now driving with 3 2x4s under the rear seat to stop the sway.

My wife was driving and the drivers seat became unstable. It dropped down and tilted to the rear left. Upon visual inspection, the left rear seat bracket is no longer connected to the floor of the car.

While driving, making a right turn, the driver's seat, left rear "dropped" very quickly causing me to veer to the left nearly causing an accident by going partially into another lane of traffic. Brought the vehicle home and upon inspection found the left rear seat bracket broken. Found this to be a common problem upon checking "edmonds. Com Nissan Murano" forum. Very shaken up!.

While driving along, I took a slight turn and heard a crack sound. All of a sudden the back left corner of my driver seat fell, upon stopping the vehicle, I found I can now easily "rock" my driver seat up/down. Due to this, I have severe back strain while driving along with great concerns of safety, if I go over a bump will my foot slip off the accelerator or brake? if, in an accident will I end up in the back seat while the vehicle is in drive? is my young family in jeopardy?.

The driver seat frame broke under normal use. No unusual stress was placed on the seat to cause it to break. With this in mind, this could be a safety issue while the vehicle is being driven. The back seat frame breaking while being driven could cause an accident if the driver loose control of the vehicle when the seat back breaks; particularly if both sides break at the same time.

I was driving north on I-75 in atlanta, GA. My driver's side rear seat bracket broke. I nearly had an accident since the seat shifted and forced me to change my body position unexpectedly. I've felt/looked at the broken bracket then researched it on the internet. It appears this failure is common on my Murano, however, Nissan hasn't performed a recall to repair the known safety issue. What can be done now, before someone dies from an unexpected seat bracket failure?.

Nissan Murano VIN-[xxx] - driver side front seat rear frame defect my vehicle driver side rear seat frame broke on 06/19/2010 approximately around noontime. As I was driving my Murano Nissan and came to a stop at a stoplight, I heard a hard snap and felt a little jerk towards my left side. Unsure of what it was, I continued to drive my vehicle down the road. As I was driving my vehicle, I felt a rough thumping underneath my seat. I thought for a minute that my front driver side tire was going flat or had some kind of problem. As I drove further to find a safe place to pull over to check it, I felt my front seat sway back and forth, as I accelerated and as I was braking. I accelerated again to make sure that the swaying motion was actually happening. Again, the swaying motion (back and forth) of the front seat occurred. I looked underneath the front driver side rear seat and saw what looked like a black metal track frame supporting the seat. In the area towards the rear left side of the frame was one of four metal prongs that were broken away from the metal track frame of the seat. Knowing that this was a very unsafe issue, I looked for help to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
