“The driver side seat has felt loose and not secured for some time and rocking while driving. I am just learning that multiple Infiniti/Nissan models have had similar problem where seat mounts at rail/frame are coming loose and creating a potential safety issue. Previous attempts to have a retailer resolve were unsuccessful as they tried to charge me several thousand dollars for it. I plan to try again at different retailer when I take it in for NHTSA Recall 25V-437.”

NHTSA complaint #11690094, filed 2025-09

“Driver’s seat will not move forward. Driver cannot reach the pedals. This has been an ongoing/intermitten problem.

When I reported the problem to Nissan last spring, they told me there was nothing they could do. I explained it was a safety issue. They didn’t care. The following day, the seat moved forward on its own so I didn’t pursue it. Yesterday, it happened again and today it did not reset itself. …”
