    You are not alone. This is a common problem that Nissan is fully aware.
    Cost me $1200 for replacement.

    Drive side seat made a loud cracking noise when the seat was readjusting after entering the vehicle and starting the car. Now the seat rocks from side to side when cornering or going over bumps.
    I purchased an extended warrenty with the car but have been informaed by the dealership that the warrenty does not cover this.

    Driver's seat will not move back and forth. Seems like it wants to move on one side, but the other side's stuck. Dealership wanted $1500 to fix just so it would pass inspection. Load of BS if you ask me.

    My seat moves a little when I hit the breaks. I thought maybe it was a bolt that needed to be tightened. Now I know that's not the case. Just one more thing I need to look forward to with this vehicle. I will never buy another nissan for as long as I live. I have had so many problems.

    seat started rocking about 1 yr after purchase, I'm not a extremely heavy person and i've never broken a seat before. The design must be insufficient and the dealer quoted me $500 to replace the seat track.
