Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have had the pulley repaired on my 2002 Pathfinder repair twice, in 2006 and again in 2008 I believe. And it is still giving me a problem. The driver seat motor will not move forward or backward, and in extreme hot weather, my motor drags, and it is hard to start the engine. The cd player never work right.”
NHTSA complaint #10419832, filed 2011-08“Complaint with 2002 Nissan Pathfinder driver seats only moving up and down, not back and forth. Customer states that this repair is supposed to be covered under warranty. Mechanics looked at it then said it would not be covered under warranty. The consumer was informed the motor was not covered, however the consumer stated his warranty clearly stated that all power seat motors were covered.”
