| Description of the problem | My 2014 nissan altima "sl" broken seat frame. The seat started rocking while driving. Thinking it just needed the seat screws tightened, i was looking for the screws and found out it was the seat frame and this is not a unique problem but happens with nissan products. The seat may break causing the back support to unexpectedly recline while driving and cause an accident. I found this online while trying to figure out "how to repair nissan" https://youtu. Be/imsvbjqgvkw .. The problem is not unique to altima's but murano's as well. The rocking takes place while sitting and driving. Very noticeable when breaking and accelerating. Also this car is dangerous because of the defective seat, seat frame. |
