| Description of the problem | I was on the highway driving and i heard a crack noise and the driver seat just fell back and lean back to the left. The seating just freely falls back. I pulled over and look underneath and saw that there is this little bar, slimmer than my pinky finger, which was support the seat broke. When i got home and researched, i was shocked to what i saw, a lot of complaints about this issue. This experience was one of the scariest thing i have ever experienced. To know that this was the only bar supporting the seat and nothing has been done about it, i am really shocked and really hope something will be done for nissan to rectify this problem before it is too late for some people. |
