| Description of the problem | Going 40 mph, suddenly i heard a crack noise, and drivers seat became unstable, wiggly. Before pulling over i needed to make a turn, and that was dangerous- entire left side of the seat elevated during a turn. As it was explained later by nissan dealership my car experienced drivers seat frame assembly failure. Which is not considered a safety issue?!?! I would like to see someone safely drive my car, especially doing u turns!! The seat cannot be fixed in the desired position, it moves around like i am operating my car on a kitchen stool. |
