| Description of the problem | Drivers seat moves side to side, typically when making right hand turns. Nissan says there is a technical service bulletin for this, however, the fix has yet to fix the issue. This is very alarming when driving, especially when you're not expecting your seat to shift. Now the seat moves forward/backward when accelerating along with the side to side movements. Nissan has had the car at least 3 times trying to correct issue and now says it must be the way nissan designs their seats. I have had multiple cars in my life and this is the first car seat that has moved. I do not see how the seat can be safe if it moves while driving. I'm worried that if i have to brake suddenly or am in an accident the seat will come off track. |
