WAS TRAVELING CLOSE TO 70MPH ON FREEWAY WHEN DRIVER SEAT COMPLETELY BROKE. MY BODY COLLAPSED TO THE LEFT SIDE AND FORCED ME TO LEAN AGAINST DRIVER DOOR. I SWERVED AND NEARLY HIT A VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS. APPARENTLY, A WELD IN THE SEAT ASSEMBLY BROKE. MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NISSAN REFUSES TO COVER THE DAMAGE WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT. UPON TALKING TO OTHER NISSAN MURANO OWNERS, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. I STILL HAVE NOT REPAIRED THE SEAT AS NISSAN IS CHARGING NEARLY $1,000 FOR THE REPAIR. I CURRENTLY HAVE WOODEN BLOCKS UNDERNEATH THE SEAT TO PROP IT UP. OCCASIONALLY THE WOOD SLIDES OUT AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO REPLACE IT FOR SAFETY REASONS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. MY VEHICLE IS A 2006 NISSAN MURANO WITH JUST OVER 60,000 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. *TR
