| Description of the problem | I was driving with my cousin on our way to lunch when i heard a noise that sounded like i ran over a plastic bottle. I then learned that the drivers seat had broke. I called consumer affairs nissan at 1-800-647-7261 on january 3 2013. The customer service rep asked for my vin# to see if i was under warranty. Once she located the info and found that my warranty expired i told her that i wanted to file a complaint against nissan. I didn't stop there i notified the bbb along with the attorneys general office and the nhtsa. I was told that because my warranty was expired i had to have 9 other people in my area who had the same issue come forward for there to be an investigation. It will be 3 months on the 28th of march that i'm still riding around with a broken seat. I did have the seat welded but it broke after 6 days. |
