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

Thanks for the information!! I know Nissan's having some financial issues these days, hope that won't effect them resolving a (in my mind) dangerous problem!

I have a Base and havent noticed any of this. Now that I know Ill pay attention and will probably notice it. Ill let you guys know.

Base with sport package, i will be testing but as of 700 miles i have not noticed any movement at all. Going to assume even if i try i wont find any movement

Adding this, i do not drive aggresive so far.

Even though it doesn't seem serious it could very well be, especially at the wrong time. If the dealership can't resolve the problem, call Nissan Consumer affairs. The issue must be addressed.

Anyone having this problem can document it with the NHTSA. The more problems that occur that get recorded, the more likely something will be done by Nissan about it. I had a problem with my 06 Titan concerning the pinion seal on the rear diff leaking. Around 30 or 40 complaints to the NHTSA, and Nissan wasnt even asking for warranty info, just replacing the seals and moving on. If the Base model/sport package is the only one with the problem, than it needs to be addressed. Not just limited to sport package, since that has absolutely nothing to do with the seats, so if there are base model owners out there...and there seems to be more than one......get it documented.

I've had two base model 370's (one w/ sport package) and they both had this notorious seat/rack shifting issue. When I mentioned it to the dealership 3 months ago, they hadn't heard of any other instances.

Great suggestion KEVR6 - the more folks complain about this issue, the more quickly Nissan will spring into action about getting the issues sorted out. I'll be getting mine documented w/ the dealer and see hope they can help me. Otherwise, I might have to go w/ your 14 1/2 bar fix.

im trying to find the post where someone said they had fixed this problem? can anyone find it?

Hi all, I sent the following email to Nissan Consumer Affairs and the NHTSA Complaints Dept. on our behalf (hopefully we'll receive a response!):

Hello, a number of Nissan 370Z owners are reporting issues with unreasonably high oil temps and overheating, both in normal driving conditions and on the track. Please offer a solution to ALL owners to FULLY rectify the situation. The 370Z is a sports car that is built to handle and outperform the competition at half the cost. The Z is an icon. If a recall is necessary, please issue a recall.

Also, a number of Nissan 370Z owners have issues with their seats moving under braking, acceleration, and cornering. The seats should NOT be moving at all while driving. Please investigate this issue immediately and FULLY rectify the situation. This is a VERY LARGE safety matter. If a recall is necessary, please issue a recall.

Thank you for your time.

P.S. To investigate these claims, please view the following links:

I have a base, and my seat moves around also. It drives me mad.

Dropped off at the dealer today to get the rear cargo cover installed and had them report that the seat still moves. Generating a history of concern!

As another avenue, check your state's Lemon Laws.

My first experience with California's laws was excellent. I returned my 2008 Ford Mustang GT two weeks ago for a full refund (all payments, doc fees, acquisition fees, etc).

Yes I know, FORD = Fix Or Repair Daily, so reliability is one reason I'm buying a Z (hopefully, it has better reliability).

BTW Ford, with their money issues, paid up with minimal fuss.

Just got my 370Z AT base model for approximately 3 weeks now. Experiencing the same problem with driver seating moving and randomly hearing clicking sound. It is noticeable and even passenger can hear it.

Took it to Nissan dealer to check it out, they said they cannot problem and suggest to road test with the shopforman. Also realized that there is buzzing noise from the back of the car while driving home from the shop. Seems like something went loose like windows shaking or bolt shaking sound.

I got it schedule again to go back for road test. Hope they will do something about it cause it is quite irritating.
