Driver seat is defective. Seat support bracket is broken. In the event of a rear end accident, $100.,000,000 plus for a defective Audi driver seat. There are scores of similar defective driver seats involving Nissan vehicles reporpated on the internet. Why do you ignore the potential risk? make Nissan fix this issue before major irreparable damage results.

- New Braunfels, TX, USA

While operating at 20mph the drivers seat suddenly became unsecured causing instability originating from the rear corner closest to the door. Vehicle is inoperable because the entire drivers seat rocks causing hands to turn the wheel uncontrollably. Upon further inspection it looks that the bracket attaching seat to the floor known as rear link assembly failed at a weld.

2003 Nissan Murano; driver's seat is loose & rocks while turning vehicle. Problem arose a few months ago. " hazard if in accident will integrity of seat & air bag deployment be proper" per nhtsb this problem has been investigated. Repair quotes @ dealer exceeds $1,500. Nissan does not address this issue, only made a service advisory. Nissan will not do, nor provide any repair absent payment. Many complaints on the internet & owner sites of this exact failure/problem.

My drivers seat frame broke loose and is like riding in a rocking chair. The dealer states the repair is approximately $1,000. I started searching on line and found hundreds of Nissan Muranos (most appear to be 2003 to 2005) with the exact same issue. Clearly this is a serious safety defect that could cause serious injury up to and including death if this seat frame broke during an accident. Nissan has redesigned the part to be more robust for models after 2005, so they apparently know this is a serious issue. This should be a nationwide mandated recall at Nissan's expense, forced by the NHTSA before someone gets killed.

I climbed into my vehicle (1003 Nissan Murano) after work. As soon as I sat down I heard a loud metallic pop and the seat sank down on the left side. I removed the side cover of the driver's seat and found that a rear support bar of the seat frame had broken in two places. The vehicle was parked and not running when this happened.

When vehicle was purchased I noticed power seat was tilting sideways when adjusting. My toddler was able to push with both feet hard enough to make the seat lean sideways as well. God forbid I get into an accident!! took into Nissan dealership who in turn explained this was part of the trim package since it was a power seat, even though it is a metal part with no electronic function. Total cost to replace this little bracket, just a mere $1,600. I'm sure this malfunction has been the cause of major injuries and may have even costs lives. A recall would be nice Nissan! way to go show concern and back your product, I will never buy a Nissan again.

While driving through the mountains, on very windy roads, I was in a turn to the right when I heard a loud pop and the front drivers seat dropped to back and to the lft, causing me to swerve and nearly impact the median. I pulled over and look under the seat an saw that the rear bracket had snapped on the left hand side. Doing some research, I am learning that this has happened to hundreds of people. I feel that this is a major issue and that I was spared only by the grace of god. This issue needs to be addressed by Nissan before someone dies.

I heard a loud "pop" pulling into my driveway and the seat began to rock. After exiting the vehicle, I look under the seat to try to ascertain where the sound I heard originated. It was dark outside, so seeing nothing amiss it wasn't until the next morning that discovered that the seat was rocking and bouncing 4-6 inches under weight. I discovered that there is a broken weld under the seat. From its appearance, seems that shouldn't be hard to fix... (sighs) if only that were true. I purchased Nissan for the reputation it once had, I was very disappointed to find numerous complaints about this same issue and no move by Nissan Corp to recall or reinforce these shoddy welds. I am currently riding with this seat partially supported by rock because the dealership is quoting a $4000 to replace the entire chair. Even tried a salvage yard, to no avail. I am in constant distress about driving this vehicle, but have no option but to continue; I feel at the risk of life and limb should the remaining support break, I don't even want to put my kids in the car, but again... I have no choice! it's only a matter of time before this issue puts blood on Nissan's hands.

I sat down on the driver's seat in my vehicle and as I reached to turn the ignition, I heard a "pop" and my driver's seat to the lower left side. As I got out of the vehicle to examine it, I looked under the seat and saw that a metal bracket supporting the seat in the rear left corner had snapped in two places. It resulted in the seat losing its stability and wobbling back and forth and obviously becoming a major safety issue. I searched for recall information regarding this issue only to find that a recall wasn't issued for it but there are many other owners of this vehicle with the same year and model that have experienced this same issue. A recall needs to be made for this, I was fortunate enough for this happen while I wasn't driving because I would have surely been in an accident.

The Murano seat frames are known to have a weak spot where the weld will break -causing your drivers seat to rock back and forth - or lean badly to one side. This cause sometime an unintentional sudden move which cause changing the steering wheel direction. That might cause an accident in some cases. Another major problem. Is the car get into sudden power loss after a while of driving after making a full stop. For example on traffic light or stop sign. It will take very very slow taking off and then will get the power back after few seconds. This delay may cause an accident in example of making left turn on a traffic intersection. You will not have any power to move the car for about 2-4 seconds. Thanks

The driver side electric seat failed to move.adjust. I was refused warranty as the vehicle had 33000 miles on it. I was told the cost of the part was $1500 and installation additional. It is my wife's car and she weighs 100lb soaking wet. I found that there is a huge problem with this design as there are hundreds of remarks posted on the internet. Please help. This seat needs fixed; however, it is not cost effective for us to fix it and we can not sell it as is.

- Kennesaw, GA, USA

My seat stopped working. The dealer wanted over $2500 to repair the electric driver side seat. There is a huge problem with the design and it has effected a large amount of owners.

My wife was driving and all of the sudden her seat (drivers seat) dropped (towards the drivers door) about causing her to lose control of the vehicle. After inspecting the seat, with no weight on it, attempting to raise the seat it would only raise on the side towards the middle of the car. This is a very dangerous situation for someone who raises the seat in order to see over the hood. We purchased this vehicle because she felt safe, because she could raise the seat to see over the hood and sit higher than other traffic. Looking through this list, if you have it sort for "seats" it pulled up 82 complaints. Most of which were broken frames that they (Nissan) had to redesign. I don't know why I would need to pay the estimated $800 plus dollars to have the chair frame replaced if Nissan redesigned it because they knew it was defective.
