| Description of the problem | Was sitting in car waiting on someone when my driver seat suddenly broke on the left back corner of the frame. Imagine if i had been driving down the highway and it suddenly just broke. Could have easily have swerved or worse. Nissan said the new seat frame cost over $1,200. 00 plus approx. $300. 00 for labor to replace with a new frame. This is a potentially hazardous situation if someone is driving down the highway when it breaks. Thankfully i was sitting in a parking lot. |
