“Gradually the rocking in the driver seat has gotten worse. Now when I accelerate or decelerate my driver seat rocks forward or rocks backwards. I have contacted Infiniti about the TSB they released: itb02080, but they referred me to my local dealer who said they would charge me 100+ dollars to diagnose the problem. I can see the broken bracket and have no need of a diagnosis.”
