Anyone having a problem with their driver seat moving around with aggressive driving?

k.alexander · 03-16-2009, 09:37 AM

Ok, I take it back. It does click a little bit to the side. I almost wouldnt even call it movement, and it's definitely not anything to worry yourself about, almost feels more like a one-time clicking sound.

This morning all I had to to is just drive forward to make the seat move!

kevr6 · 03-17-2009, 04:05 PM

They have had my car all day and they are saying that it's normal for the seat to move while driving my particular vehicle! I have never heard of such a thing!!! All vehicles require the seat to be anchored tight with zero movement for safety! I have a powerful agile sports car which really requires a tight seat!! I can't believe they aren't just trying to order a new seat frame first!! We would never do that where I work!! Talking to the sales manager tomorrow!

Nissan UK tried to convince me that a skipping CD was 'a feature of the Bose unit' in cold weather! It's all part of their training - I think they learn it on 'Fob The Customer Off' day.

Just keep arguing until they finally give in, mate - because they will collapse eventually.

You have moral support!

edit - name & shame the dealer when you're ready - they really are taking the piss.

Thanks Chubbs, I plan on it!! They are installing the rear cargo cover and trim panels, so it works, since the base interior doesn't come with it...they agreed since they had to put 400 miles on it after they said it would be under 200 miles with the dealer trade! I left it there and I'm driving another one of their cars!! I would never be able to tell that to a customer...my whole dealership (work) laughed when I told them!

Semtex,
It's Team Nissan in Marietta on Cobb Parkway! They have been easy to deal with in sales...just starting to deal with service now...I'm guessing The sales manager will get things handled! I'll know tomorow when he is back from his day off!

semtex · 03-17-2009, 04:09 PM

OMG what a load of crap. Which dealership is this, if you don't mind my asking?

k.alexander · 03-17-2009, 07:44 PM

So you got them to install the cargo cover for you on a base? I still want this done. Can you tell what they're installing, and what parts you got them to order. Thanks.

They told me the interior peices are back ordered so it'll be awhile before they complete this. I'll get the info when the parts come in!

They put in a call to Nissan North America (local rep) about my seat! I understand how it works so I'll leave it at that for now. They did say that some of their other cars do that also...

oh well. It was just nice to get here back!!

I would really appreciate any info you can give about the cover and parts needed for installation.

As for the seat, I now realize that my base model does the same thing. Thanks for that

Really, I dont feel it moving, I just hear or feel a "click" and that's it. I wouldnt call it a bother just yet, but we'll see.

Quick Update: I have a friend who works in Nissan Marketing. She is going to check into the driver seat movement issue I am having!! If you have the problem make sure to have a dealership look at it! There shouldn't be any movement with the seat. I still have the problem.

I'll let you know if anything comes of it!

ChrisSlicks · 03-25-2009, 09:34 PM

I have it as well but the movement is really minuscule at the moment. But after breaking a seat bracket on my G35 by driving it at the Auto-X I know this will be becoming a problem. Any movement is bad and will lead to failure of the bracket.

Forgot to mention that I also have the Base w/Sport.

XenChi · 03-26-2009, 08:52 AM

I also have the same movement. My car is a Base w/ SP.

If you can, have a dealer look at it. Even if they do nothing, just get it documented on a Repair Order! It helps us if there are reported cases!

I will do that.

Hiya folks. Sorry, I don't have a 370Z. I have a 2009 Nissan Maxima, and over on the Max forums, many of us have the exact same issue. We were provided a link here and figured I'd return the favor. You all aren't alone in the "rocking" issue....

I've taken mine in, dealership noticed the issue, replaced the whole seat frame, and yet, same issue.

My first problem. - Page 3 - Maxima Forums
