Consumer Description

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN HER SEAT (DRIVERS SEAT) DROPPED (TOWARDS THE DRIVERS DOOR) ABOUT CAUSING HER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING THE SEAT, WITH NO WEIGHT ON IT, ATTEMPTING TO RAISE THE SEAT IT WOULD ONLY RAISE ON THE SIDE TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE CAR. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR SOMEONE WHO RAISES THE SEAT IN ORDER TO SEE OVER THE HOOD. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE SHE FELT SAFE, BECAUSE SHE COULD RAISE THE SEAT TO SEE OVER THE HOOD AND SIT HIGHER THAN OTHER TRAFFIC. LOOKING THROUGH THIS LIST, IF YOU HAVE IT SORT FOR "SEATS" IT PULLED UP 82 COMPLAINTS. MOST OF WHICH WERE BROKEN FRAMES THAT THEY (NISSAN) HAD TO REDESIGN. I DON'T KNOW WHY I WOULD NEED TO PAY THE ESTIMATED $800 PLUS DOLLARS TO HAVE THE CHAIR FRAME REPLACED IF NISSAN REDESIGNED IT BECAUSE THEY KNEW IT WAS DEFECTIVE. *TT
