My drivers side seat started wobbling and it feels dangerous in case of any kind of crash. The other day I pulled into driveway and heard a pop and the side where the buttons are popped out and I cannot find one of them. The part where the buttons for seat adjustment just fell out and I pushed back but still afraid in case of collision. I have read on plenty of forums where the seat frame breaks. I am older and I cant afford to fix it but I am afraid to drive
Normal driving and the seat broke and has been for several years causing instability and oscillation.

The left, driver's side front seat of my 2006 Nissan Murano broke while my son was driving. The support bracket cracked completely, leaving the seat tilted downward several inches on the left side. The car is dangerous to drive in this condition because the seat is bouncing at an odd angle. I have seen many complaints online of the same problem with the Nissan Murano. It is hard to believe that an NHTSA recall has not been issued.

Seat support is broken on the drivers side causing the driver my son, to shift to the left while driving the car. A dealer sold this used car as is and covered a wooden block that supported the seat with cloth to disguise the problem. After looking at this site I found over 700 complaints. The seat is compromised and it's a manufacturers safety defect. If an accident were to occur the driver could be thrown into the dash or worst because of a already broken driver seat support. Why should consumers not be made aware of this safety concern and the manufacture required to do a proper fix" is the seat belt designed to hold the passenger and the seat in place during an accident"

I've been having a problem with the power driver's seat in my '06 Nissan Murano. It is loose and shifts side to side when I turn corners.

I would hate to see what would happen during a crash. I filed a complaint if you have had this same thing happen with your Nissan
