My 2004 nissan murano AWD se front driver seat broke . I took it out and paid to have a guy weld it . Others have told me that it is a common murano problem . Some suggested that it is already a nissan recall issue but I can't get any info to prove it . It still flops around . Also the front wheel bearing went at 75k miles but that's another problem . The doors lock automatically if you slam the door sometimes . Imagine jumping out of the car to put mail in the box and when you come back it's locked ?
