| Description of the problem | Turned a corner at normal speed and was almost tossed out of the seat. The seat lifted in the back left corner of the drivers seat. Not a pleasant or safe feeling to have your seat feel like it is flying off of the floor. A car seat should remain firmly attached to the seat. Even if the seat itself doesn't cause accidents for people - the feeling you get of losing control could easily cause a driver to steer into an accident. I was shocked to read online how many people have this problem and the general lack of concern about it from nissan. This is a driver safety issue and very alarming to have happen to you while turning onto a busy road. |
