| Description of the problem | I went to sit in my drivers seat and i heard a very loud crack and my seat broke. It now rocks and leans into the direction of the driver side door. The seat literally rocks and is very unstable. If the seat comes completely unhinged during the driving process or in an accident the driver could become severely injured due to the instability. In addition, it causes my seatbelt to get stuck in between seat and door because seat touches the door when sitting in it. I called the dealership and this fix is approx $1000 to $1200. I noticed online and on this site that there are numerous complaints with this exact problem and nothing has been done to force the automaker to fix this problem. We need serious action quickly because this is a very expensive repair and nissan should be liable for it as this is happening across the country and is very unsafe for the driver and other vehicles that could be affected in an accident. |
