| Description of the problem | I purchased a new 2007 nissan altima in march 2007 and shortly after the seat started to squirm from side to side in turns. I took it to the dealer and they acknowledged the problem. They told me that they could replace the seat rails, but the problem is in the rails themselves and that the problem would just reoccur. I have taken it back to the dealer, but they still tell me that they have no fix for it. My seat is now becoming more and more loose. There are numerous others with the same vehicle and problem. Refer to this site: http://www. Nissanclub. Com/forums/new-2007-2008-nissan-altima-discussion/268078-does-your-driver-seat-squirm-5. Html approximately 75 percent of 200+ customers polled report the same problem. It is possible the other customers do not have power seats as i. The problem seems to be in the power seat assembly. |
