Consumer Description

DRIVER'S SEAT ON '08 NISSAN ALTIMA MOVES SIDE TO SIDE AS YOU GO AROUND TURNS; VERY DISCONCERTING. FIRST RESPONSE FROM DEALERSHIP WAS "WE CAN NOT REPLICATE, AND THIS IS THE FIRST ONE WE'VE HEARD OF". NEXT VISIT I WAS TOLD "NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND SHOULD HAVE A FIX IN 30 DAYS OR SO". THAT WAS 45 DAYS AGO. 2ND PROBLEM, MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON A LOT OF THE TIME MY WIFE IS SEATED IN THE SEAT. SHE'S ABOUT 150 POUNDS, SO THERE SHOULD NOT BE A WEIGHT PROBLEM. HAD IT IN TWICE FOR THIS, AND ANOTHER "CAN NOT REPLICATE". I'M CONCERNED THAT IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION, SHE WILL HAVE NO AIR BAG PROTECTION. *TR
