| Description of the problem | Purchased a 2008 altima 3. 5 se with power seats, before 2000 miles noticed that the driver's seat was loose and had a vibrating effect then the seat started popping out of place as i was making a turn or going around a curve or exiting onto an exit ramp. I reported it to the dealer and they replaced the seat rails but the car continues to do the same thing and the dealership claims that it can't duplicate the movement so they can't repair it. A moving seat while driving is not safe!! The seat goes to the left and there is a popping sound and sometimes it goes forward. |
