    Written by: gooden on Nov 14, 2011 4:32:38 PM

    This is what I did: I went to a good welder. He removed the seat and welded the broken part and put the seat back in. Probably better than new. It was 165.00.....a whole lot better than 1500.00!! Now I am having problems with the power steering and an oil leak. I will never never buy another Nissan. The Nissan dealership has been absolutely no help at all....disgusted!!

After looking at all these SUV's, the Murano is still holding it's own for interior comfort, performance and utility. Going to look tonite at the Dodge Caliber, then the Lexus ES 300 models, and then possibly the TOY Rav for more comparison. Any idea on what your gas mileage is so far?
