As we were driving on a city street our 2016 Nissan Murano we could smell plastic melting or burning while having our driver seat heating system turned on. We turned off the heating system. Now, our driver seat heater does not turn on at all. We plan to take the vehicle to a Nissan dealership to get it diagnosed, but after doing some research online, we could read that many others dealt with this issue previously. The electrical harness under the drivers seat gets too hot and begins to melt. It seems that this is a safety issue due to a failure of the eletrical harness. I will have a specific diagnosis soon.
Driver seat heater over heated and shorted.
The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Murano. When starting the vehicle and activating the seat heater on the driver's seat, it failed to work correctly. The contact drove the vehicle to the dealer (priority Nissan, 12925 jefferson Ave, newport news, va 23608) where it was diagnosed that the wiring harness was faulty. The manufacturer was contacted. The contact stated that the entire seat needed to be replaced, but Nissan refused to replace the seat. The vehicle was not repaired because parts were unavailable. The dealer provided the contact with a loaner vehicle in the interim. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 13,000.
