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

Gagawoolala · 04-02-2009, 12:11 AM

The seat problem has been identified with the shopforman. They found that the seat rack is not secure and have to order the rack. However, the rack is on national back order, so don't know how long it will take to get the part before I drive my car back to the dealer again to fix it.

Dealer contacted me and got me the seat track for installation. Drove it back on the highway and local, have not recognize the problem again.

Will report if it continue. However, there is buzzing sound from the back of the car when drive on uneven pave road.

So they replaced the track and not the seat fame? Do you have the invoice w/ part #. Even better, post your invoice?

They replaced the seat rack instead of the seat frame. I guess they have secured the seat frame also cause from time to time, you can still feel the slick movement underneath the seat. However, it is much better than the initial problem.

However, I am still getting that buzzing noise from the rear fixed. Attempted to the deal twice already, and fixed it once. However, customer service not returning my call. Will need to make another appointment to go in and have another look.

Thanks!

I get a lite high creak from the trim around the rear glass on the passenger side...very sporatic! I just haven't had time to address it! So far no other sounds. I'm starting to get used to the seat movement but think I'll end up taking it to a trim shop (interior restoration shop) and have them figure out what's moving and fix it!

I have the base w/ sport and have this issue... I noticed it pretty early on and it seems to happen more frequently now. I have it schedule with the dealer next week to take a look at.

My dealer tech said that the movement was normal.

Doesn't bother me too much at the moment but I'm sure it will get worse.

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

Moves, Im sure.

MightyBobo · 05-04-2009, 08:03 PM

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

zilent_jay · 05-05-2009, 05:22 PM

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.
