| Description of the problem | Driver seat start to move sideways, after looking below i have found the support crossbar of the frame is broken at the end so the seat now leans up and down, back and forth. The dealer quotes $898 part +$250 labor just to replace the frame. Of course is not covered by nissan. How many other brands beside nissan have you seen with this problem? I am simply appalled by the lack of concern from nissan. After reading complaints about seat collapsing, wheel bearing going out, visors falling blocking the view of the driver, steering hoses braking causing fire, in vehicles with low mileage i cannot believe nissan does not identify this as a safety issues and allows the consumer to pay for these faulty components. This is my first and last nissan vehicle. |
