| Description of the problem | The problem started with a popping sensation in the driver's side seat while driving. Then over a short period of time the driver's seat started a rocking motion. Shortly after that, while driving, the seat just dropped on the left side. When i got home my husband took a look and couldn't find anything off. It continued to rock back and forth. I finally took it to nissan who looked at it, told me what the problem was the "adjuster assembly, front" needed to be replaced. The cost $ 1350. I checked on line and found hundreds of people with the same problem. And there was no recall. How can that be? I was driving when the seat dropped. I was startled. However, this was not enough to deem the problem severe enough to have a recall. I would think nissan would just fix it because the problem was so wide spread. We bought this car new, 10 miles, in 2006. And it has been one thing or another. This car has 63,000 miles on it. Serviced it as the manual specified. This car has never been taken on a long road trip. My daily commute to and from work is approximately 15 miles and garaged. For more than 2 years i worked from home so the car was not driven much. We know we will not buy a nissan or infiniti again. Nor do we recommend it to anyone we come in contact with. |
