Consumer Description

THE DRIVER SEAT HAS A SLIGHT ROCK WHEN TAKING OFF AND BREAKING. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED BACK IN OCTOBER 2014 FROM A HONDA DEALER. I NOTICED THE ROCKING BUT THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A LOOSE NUT OR SOMETHING SO I DIDN'T LOOK INTO IT RIGHT AWAY. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO THE NISSAN DEALER THEY SAID THE FRAME WAS BROKEN. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I CONTACTED NISSAN USA AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD NO KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE SEAT AND THAT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT THE SEAT MY COME COMPLETELY APART OR SOMETHING WHILE I'M BREAKING AND CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I NOT SURE WHY IF THEY HAD THE SAME ISSUE BACK IN 2009 AND FOUND SOME TYPE OF FIX WHY WANT THEY FIX IT NOW BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR
