| Description of the problem | The plastic shroud that covers the bottom part of the driver seat has sharp edges, and sticks out to a point to where it cuts my calves when i enter and exit the car. I had the dealer correct the problem, however, the way they repositioned the plastic shroud now cuts into the seat itself. I informed nissan about the problem of the shroud now cutting into my seat, and was told "there is noting else we can do about this..", so i guess i will have to pay for either a new driver side seat down the line, or have to pay to have it repaired. |
