| Description of the problem | Approx. 2 months ago, i noticed that the drivers seat of my vehicle was wobbling. The vehicle has 65,000 miles on it. Upon inspection, i found that the left, rear portion of the seat was no longer attached to the body of the car. The seat moves when i enter and exit the car and it leans while making turns driving the vehicle. I checked on line for any possible recalls related to this issue, as the seat should not be loose and i see it as a huge safety risk should i be in a collision. The seat is not secured to the body of the vehicle. I found many consumer complaints related to this issue involving not only the 2007 year model, but other year models as well. Many of the individuals stated that they had contacted their nissan dealership as well as corporate nissan and were told that this defect is not involved in a recall because it is not a safety issue, yet they will recall an air cleaner tube that has a tendency to come loose. The dealerships will repair the common defect for more than a $1000. I sense that this issue has already come to your attention, after seeing the number of complaints reported. Please help us to get nissan to the next right thing by backing their product and more importantly, repairing a gross defect that absolutely makes their vehicles affected, unsafe to drive. Thank you for your consideration. |
