I can definitely feel my seat move a little bit. You really just feel a slight "tick" when it shifts, but it is there.

Is that "rocks", as in, "kicks a$$" or "rocks" as in "moves"?

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.

Base with sport. Didn't notice it until I checked. Front seat rocks side to side. For any technician that says this is 'normal'... ask them why the passenger seat doesn't do it too? It's normal for the drivers seat to move around while driving while the passenger seat is solid? Hmm.. I don't think so, Nissan.

My words exactly!! It seems to be getting worse also!! I have noticed that it is more evident with the front lower cusion in raised position with side adjustment knob! My Nissan dealership and my contact at Nissan North America have not gotten back to me and apparently will not be! :mad:

We at Audi would never treat customers like this or release a product that does this!! Dam shame! (yes, I work at an Audi dealership)

Had mine in for something else and asked them to check it out, the tech felt the side to side movement and has a new seat bottom/frame/track on order for it. Had no problems with them at all..... :tup:

I have same problem with my base model (non SP). To me it seems like a problem with the seat locking in after adjustment. Is it only me or does it seem like the adjustment mechanism is really flimsy.

I also have a strange creak coming from the back. I haven't placed it yet, but think it's coming from my passenger side tailight assembly.

ChrisSlicks 05-13-2009 04:20 PM

The driver's seat also sits higher than the passenger seat and the passenger seat does not exhibit the problem. My guess is that the slop is in the height adjuster mechanism.

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.

Richie 06-14-2009 11:27 AM

NotmyGTR 06-14-2009 12:42 PM
