Consumer Description
The driver seat electric motor has failed on three separate occasions. 7/29/21, mileage 22,984 9/3/21, Mileage 24156 7/12/22, Mileage 34,414 When the electric motor fails the seat can not move forward or back. Depending on the seat position at failure, certain individuals would not be able to reach the pedals to safely drive the vehicle. This could create a serious safety issue requiring some one to drive without reasonable control. Each time the motor failed it was replaced by the dealer. No warning lamps or indication of failure happened prior to the three times of this severe safety failure. As of 6/18/23 the seat has been working properly. I was in contact with a case worker at Infiniti numerous times ( between 7/11/22 and 8/11/22) and she did not think this was a serious problem, as if I was the only person reporting this issue. This was very troubling to me because it seemed to be a very serious safety issue. The last time I was at the dealer for service work (earlier this year) they revealed to me that this same issue has happened in other vehicles besides mine.
