| Description of the problem | While driving down the road the frame on the drivers seat broke causing the seat to fall back and to the left. Scared me and thought i was going to wreck but didn't. Then very difficult to maneuver the car to get home since you are sitting cocked to the side and back. Called nissan and looked online as to recalls and there are none but several complaints were there regarding these seats. This is the 2nd time this has happened the first being earlier this year. Nissan said to bring it and pay to have it fixed. We had friend weld it cheaper than them. If the seat is faulty then there is no sense fixing it numerous times and they need to remake this part so it does not keep breaking, think they should recall since it is unsafe. |
