Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I have had the vehicle in to the dealership for inspection of the driver seat which is cracking and snapping when making corners or turning. I was advised that Nissan does not have this part and is backorder until next year. This to me feels like this seat would not be stable in an accident since it has movement and not fully in place.”

NHTSA complaint #11289617, filed 2019-12, 20,000 miles

“Took my car to get oil changed. When I got back in my car and went to adjust my seat backward, it would not move. Tried moving it forward, also did not move. However, it moved up and down and the back of the seat moved. Went back into pep boys, they looked at it, said the motor was hot so they let it cool down some. Ultimately they came back to me saying I needed to take it to the dealership that it was some type of recall.”

“This vehicle was purchased new, has manual seats that after a few months started sinking on their own within a few hours of being set. It's unable to retain the set seat height for any extended period of time and forces the driver to keep pumping up the seat while driving or adjust rear mirrors to compensate.”

NHTSA complaint #11258714, filed 2019-09, 5,000 miles
