| Description of the problem | As i was turning, the driver side seat collapsed and seat started shaking and wobbling toward the left and backward. I managed to get to a safe place to investigate the problem. The thin bracket under the seat had broken. The seat is making it hard to steer since it can wobble any time i make a turn. Searching online, it appears that this is a common complaint, but nissan will not recall this defective part. It cost approximately $467 to replace and there is no guarantee that it will not happen again in the next three years. This is a manufacturer defect, but nissan will not recall. |
