| Description of the problem | Drivers seat squirms moves and is not rigid. Dealership says they can not replicate the problem. Every time i turn the seat makes noise and sounds squirms like its not properly secure. The passenger airbag light also comes on when a fully grown adult is sitting in it. This happens randomly on an average of 4-5 times monthly. When the airbag light comes on the passenger airbag is deactivated not protecting the individual.

The dealership says can not replicate but stated they are aware of these problems and that nissan may issue a recall. For the time being the car is unsafe and nothing is being done about it. |
