| Description of the problem | Sat in car to take daughter to school. Heard a loud clunk and my driver's side seat broke. The rear bracket came loose and now my seat wobbles/bounces all over the place. Over bumps it's worse. Turning a corner sends me up against the door. I find myself grabbing the steering wheel for balance and that causes my car to swerve. Hubby thought i was exaggerating until he sat in seat. Looked online and saw many similar complaints. Called nissan and the service advisor said it's a common problem and i should call nissan to see if they will cover parts. It's a safety issue!!! If nissan is aware there's this big of a problem why no recall? Because no one has died?? Seems that's the only way they will make this right. Right now i'm using the "fix" the guy before me used.... Piece of wood under the seat to keep it stable enough to drive. Quoted $1700 parts and labor. |
