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

khtso · 02-22-2010, 05:00 PM

Oddly, my car suffered from this problem for months. It bothered me every time I drove it. I even brought it to my dealer's attention back in July. Then I seemed to forget about it. I saw this post last night and tried to see if I still had the problem this morning and didn't notice it. I wonder if it just went away, or whether I have gotten so used to it that I don't even notice it at all anymore.

I agree w/ you... the job looks pretty involved.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention...

Do you know if Nissan dealerships will take-in a car requiring this service? If so, do their factory techs perform the work at their facilities or pass it off to a third party?

You have to go to the dealership for the complaint, then they will order the washers. Then once the parts arrive you'll have to go back to the dealer to get them installed. It's cover under warranty and it's performed by a nissan tech at the dealership.

I know that couldn't have happened since we already did that. I think the seat frame needs replacing or there is a shim missing at the foot! Just curious if anyone else is having a problem!

BTW: The passenger seat doesn't budge at all!!

Thanks!!

I recall there was another thread about this a month or two ago, complete with pictures for the fix a lot of information. Try to find it. It's really comprehensive.

I took the TSB to my dealer (along with the other one about the stuck hatch release button issue - they fixed that).

It says: APPLIED VIN/DATE: Vehicles built before JN1AZ44(**)9M 410159 / 26-Jun-2009

My VIN turned out to be a little higher than this limit :-( (have a red '09 base AT)

So I guess still no solution for me yet? And I believe the 2010's do not have this issue at all.

Are there other people with production dates after June 2009 with the still issue? :-(

dudafunk · 05-11-2010, 03:48 PM

bump?? anyone? my last reply?

KingZee · 05-11-2010, 03:57 PM

wtf? why does it matter what the date is? If the problem's the same you'd think they'd look at the TSB and FIX IT...These dealerships are worse than dirty lawyers

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.

KingZee, the dealership said that my model didn't have those same washers. They did order the parts for me, I saw them, but that was before they (and I) noticed that the range of VINs on that TSB did not match my car's.

I know they took the seat apart too after which they realized that the parts didn't match, and then we all paid closer attention to the TSB to realize that the VIN range didn't match my car's VIN - so for whatever reason, all this IS true.. unfortunately.

For some reason, Nissan hasn't come out with a TSB for the same issue for my VIN range.. maybe they felt the issue wasn't there in my range.

Makes more sense now, I thought they just looked at the paper and turned you away
