“I purchased a 2020 Nissan Rogue sv that has a power adjustable drivers set. The slide rail assembly has play in it when adjusted to my driving position. It rocks back during acceleration and rocks forward during breaking. I can sit in the seat stationary and move it forward and backward with my body weight. The service manager at the dealership tested several other 2020 models and found 3 others with the same issue. One of them rocked back and forth even worse than mine. …”

This puts my safety at risk because in an accident, the seat could come off, causing me to go through the windshield, crush injuries, the seat collapsing and being thrown backwards into back seat passengers in the event of getting rear ended. If the seat that I am seat belted in to detaches from the frame, none of the other safety features will matter. Airbags will be useless as will the seatbelt. …”
