“I currently own a 2006 Infiniti M45. I have a safety issue which involves a broken driver side seat lift bracket. I wasn't doing anything abnormal, but when I sat down in my vehicle I heard a pop and notice the seat now had a slight lean towards the center console. This is a huge concern, and after doing extensive research online, I have found that it is a manufacture defect rather than normal part wear. …”
NHTSA complaint #10916308, filed 2016-10, 108,000 miles“I noticed for a couple of weeks my seat would rock back and forth when I accelerated. Yesterday when I sat down in my car, I heard a loud clunk and it was my driver's seat which apparently broke off the mechanism that holds it. I researched and saw many users are reporting the same issue. Now I have a broken driver's seat in my car.”
NHTSA complaint #10482615, filed 2012-10, 77,000 miles“While driving at normal highway speed, my drivers seat suddenly collapsed onto the floor on the left side of the seat. After regaining control of the car, I pulled over to find that the seat bracket had broken. The seat is completely detached from the frame and now moves freely up and down. I took the car to the dealership and without even looking at it, they said that I would need a new drivers seat at a cost of $2000.00. The technician then stated that this was a common problem on 2006-07 infinities. …”
