NHTSA Complaint #10565277 — 2006 INFINITI M35

EXPERIENCED ISSUE WITH DRIVER'S SEAT LEANING TOWARDS CENTER CONSOLE. NOT SURE WHEN THE SEAT BEGAN LEANING; HOWEVER, AFTER I SAW THE ISSUE - A FEW DAYS LATER THE SEAT BEGAN TO BLOCK THE CENTER CONSOLE FROM OPENING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE SEAT TRACK WAS BROKEN AND THE COST TO REPAIR WAS ABOUT $1400. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE WAS ONE OTHER CAR THAT WAS RECENTLY BROUGHT IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE. MY SEAT MAKES POPPING NOISES WHEN I ATTEMPT TO MOVE IT CLOSER TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND SHIFTS FORWARD WHEN BRAKING. I ALSO NOTICE FROM THE BACK OF THE SEAT THAT THE PLASTIC THAT PROTECTS THE SEAT HARDWARE IS PUSHING INWARD TOWARD THE CARPET ON THE SEAT. *TR
