| Description of the problem | There is an issue with seat rails in my 07 nissan altima. When i have to stop sudden, hard the seat shifts forward and back. They have replaced 2 times already, but need to be done again. Nissan told me they new they had an issue after 2nd repair, that is why they took over month tom fix., now they want to fix with same broken parts, even though originally corporate tech told the dealer not to replace until they had a fix for the problem, they were over ridden by the area rep here. They can not guaranty me it will fix the problems, as well as they can not tell me the seat is going to stop if i had to break for an accident. Put a buy back and nissan basically has told me to eat the car nd that they wasn't to keep fixing it. The seat shifting is a safety issue and looking at the nissan altima forums, this is a common issue with this car. Had the car in at 1550, and 3000 miles to repair this part, then again in march 08. |
