| Description of the problem | Got in my car and felt the driver side seat tilt. The arm under the seat broke. This is a common problem as i have been reviewing the internet. Although there are no fatalities as of yet, it is a problem nissan is aware of yet will not fix. It costs $500 at my nissan dealer to fix the seat because it is "out of warranty". I know that this probably will just be put in a file but it would be nice if you could do something before some family out there will be missing a family member in death due to a fixable problem that nissan refuses to deal with. |
