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

Exactly as described. I have a base btw.

I have the Base (recovered with leather Katzkins) and never had the problem. Interesting, though that my '08 Altima Coupe does suffer from the notorious Nissan Seat Click problem.
I recall that there was a long thread on this a few months ago showing pictures of the fix in progress. It's quite a bit of surgery to eliminate the problem and I decided not to get into it on my Altima. I think someone said there was a TSB dealing with it.

I'm beginning to see a pattern here. Touring model seats = no problem. Base model seats = problem.

Makes sense. The question I have now is if there are base owners who don't have this issue?

I'm wondering if this driver seat play is inherent to the design of the base seat brackets/sliders or just isolated to a few cases.

Wasn't this a common problem on the G35's?

zZSportZz · 03-14-2009, 06:56 PM

Same problem here. Base model with sport.

complain to nissan directly? although, they would probably address the issue with the 2010 model.

kevr6 · 03-14-2009, 11:14 PM

Very Annoying!! It now happens all the time with normal driving!

Complain to your Service Manager, then if nothing happens go straight to Nissan. They know about the problem but if you don't complain to them they will not do anything for you!

Like I posted before complain in FB to Nissan North America, PM me I have a few emails address that will get the ball rolling.

I have a base, I havent noticed it. And now Im almost afraid to "look for it", in fear of finding the problem that I didnt have before--that is one of the negatives on being on a forum like this

theDreamer · 03-15-2009, 12:14 PM

Errr...now I am thinking of spending the extra cash for touring with nav (was going with base and by aftermarket nav) just so I do not have this issue....hmmm.

I have a base with sport package and my seat seems to be fine.

kevr6 · 03-15-2009, 04:43 PM

If you want to check, just grab the base seat cushion front and back with both hands and attempt to move it back and forth. If you hear or feel anything at all, there is a problem! If you do the same on the passenger side it doesn't budge and not a lick of knock noise (in my case anyway) that's a good comparison!! The seat should absolutely not move!! (bolted to subframe)
I'm sure it's just a shim or spacer in the track that's needed!
