I was driving home and I heard a loud pop and my drivers side seat fell into the drivers side door and I swerved into oncoming traffic. Thankfully, there were no cars that were close and no accident occurred. I called the dealer in my town and found out it was going to cost $1400. 00 to fix the issue. I called salvage yards and could only find a seat in a town 4 hours away so it would cost extra to have the seat shipped here ($300. 00). In my research I found out it has been a common problem and decided to look to see if there had been a recall. I read all of the complaints on this same issue and others from this page and determined to take it to a local welder and have the frame welded based on the fact that the chair would break again even if the part had been replaced with a new or used part. The guy at the shop told me that the frame supporting the seat was paper thin. He could fix it and beef it up so that the problem would not happen again. It cost $159. 00 to fix and at this time it is working quite well. I am saddened to find out that Nissan will not stand by their product and fix this issue! I have told everyone I know so that they could pass on the information to friend's who have Nissan's. I am afraid to continue to drive this car due to the other issues these cars have based on some of the complaints I have read on this site.

The left side of driver's seat is completely of the track/frame causing seat to not be secured and also causing seat to rock back and forth.

Brought my Nissan Murano for water leak in the body seal, the car was delivered to me with a broken front drivers seat. The dealership denies breaking it and I didn't give it to them that way. I am being told it is a common problem with the year model and that Nissan is aware and will not recall. I am considering legal advice.

Was driving on highway when the drivers seat fell back toward door. Seat was not stable and rocked while driving. Brought car in and was told the left front seat track was broken and needed to be replaced.

2007 Murano. Front seat, front bracket broke at 59000 miles. Front seat dropped to the left. Heard this was an issue for many Murano owners and is an expensive fix for something that seems defective. Supposedly its usually the rear bracket of the front seat so now im just waiting on that.

While backing out of our garage. My wife heard a noise like something broken and the seat immediately shifted to the left. Now the seat wobbles and now leans to the left, the vehicle is not safe to drive. You do not have total control of the vehicle while the seat wobbles when you drive. After my inspection the rear cross support arm is broken where it mounts to the left track assembly. I am a service manager in the automotive industry. I am involved in factory recalls at the dealership. I can not understand why this issue has not been defined as a factory defect and a real safety issue. Nissan needs to correct this issue before this results in a casualty.

Turning a corner on parking lot. Heard a lot pop and my seat collapsed, shifting me into the driver's side door. The seat fell to the floor and rocks every time I drive over uneven pavement and/or makes turns. I almost control of my vehicle when this happened.

The seat based weld failed on the left rear corner causing an unsafe condition. In researching this issue, there are many, many similar incidents reported on the web. This should be a recall condition as it renders the vehicle unsafe to drive. I shudder to think what would happen if my 17 year-old new driver was in an accident. . . The seat could easily break loose.

Left rear support for driver's seat failed while driving causing seat to lean back--this is dangerous.

I was driving my Murano today when all of a sudden I heard a loud pop and then my seat began to rock. The left frame on the driver's side had broken and I did not think this was possible. I see from this website that there are many other Murano drivers out there that this is happened to and that they have contacted Nissan and they didnt care! this is a major safety issues and it this problem needs to be recalled and fixed! this is totally unacceptable and Nissan should be ashamed! they are putting our lives and others are risk! heaven forbid that the right side of the frame go. I am calling Nissan tomorrow! there should be a class action suit against them! I will never buy another Nissan again! they should not make the consumer responsible for their shotty work and they should fix it for free!.

The driver seat has come DE-welded and now the seat rocks.

My wife got into the car to go out and heard a crack and the left rear side sitting dropped down, twisting the seat.

Seat frame part failure. At first the seat leaned then within a few days broke. This must be a huge safety issue that can cause an accident if it breaks while driving or accident occurs before seat is fixed. I spoke to a few Nissan dealerships who were all fully aware and have seen this same broken part often. Nissan does not cover this part. I feel this should be recalled ASAP due to the safety issue. Nissan should pay for this repair.

While driving and making a turn, the driver's seat bracket failed causing the left rear of the seat to dip down and rock back and forth. The seat is now unstable and it is unsafe to drive the vehicle. Upon doing some research online, I have read numerous complaints that NHTSA and Nissan are aware that these seats are a problem and that previous concerns and requests for a recall on this issue have fallen on deaf ears. I think Nissan should take responsibility for this manufacturing defect and fix these seats before someone is injured.

The drivers seat left rear frame connector just broke. Its a metal piece that supports the weight of the seat and connect to the seat track. Now, my seat wobbles left and right and some front to back without the support.

While driving home after work on the interstate I heard a pop and the driver seat collapsed toward the driver door. After almost colliding with a vehicle in the adjacent lane I came to a safe stop on the shoulder and investigated the driver seat. I was able to move the seat 4-5 inches form the left rear toward the right front quadrant. I lowered the seat which took some of the play out of the seat and finished the drive home. After further investigation the metal seat frame had broken loose at two brackets. I'm still researching safe alternatives to fix the seat frame. The Nissan dealer told me they had a TSB on the seat and the replacement frame had the same fatigue issues. This known deficiency by Nissan is a safety hazard and needs to be addressed.
