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

KageZ · 08-08-2009, 10:28 AM

Talked to Nissan AGAIN and AGAIN still waiting on the techs to post a bulletin on a fix...tick tock Nissan. How is it possible that my 03' 350 had the SAME problem?!?! Love the care and getting frustrated with this seat!

I talked to my dealer's tech department yesterday and, of course, they have never heard of the issue, just "bring it in and we will see if ever thing is tight. Also, there needs to be some movement for the seat's mechanics to work". Oh boy, already trying to find a loop hole out...

I'll let you guys know if I get anywhere Monday.

Buy a base car, expect base performance... Step down to an escort or festiva that's fully loaded... Lol

Nope, nismo factory seats are cloth with no heated option and stitched nismo logo, mine are Touring seats with power and heated, and don't move unless I push the power lever... I think the issue is with seats without power???

Sorry we didn't pay for the fluffy, power seats; but we did pay over 30K for a car...any car from a cash for clunker should have seats that don't move!

I agree with you there.

Base Sport with 2000 miles purchased in August and I just started noticing the "seat click" It doesn't do it every turn but if I turn sharply left then straightenout quickly I feel and hear the seat click.

Not a big deal and I will investigate when I do the audio upgrade and pull the seats out.

One thing to remember guys, we all have an awesome car for the money. They are not individually crafted 1 at a time like a Ferrari. We are coming off an assembly line and there are bound to be little things that make a noise, rub, click. I still think our build quality is so much higher than American cars.

For 33K we have a steal of a car, heck my new 09 Corolla was almost 19k

One thing that annoyed me with the 350 was then infamous Tire Feathering, my 04 Touring went through its first set of tires in 8000 miles. The second set in 15,000 miles. Nissan finally acknowledged there was a problem and issued free tires. I am not sure how the whole thing ended up as I ended up trading it in after a couple years.

I am just glad I haven't heard one thing about tire feathering. I will take a little seat click anyday to drive a car like this for this money.

My touring does this too every once and a while. Just thought I'd mention that maybe it's not just a base Z problem.

Val Vicious · 09-18-2009, 01:19 PM

I have a Base with Sport Package, and my seats are fantastic and don't move at all, I'm 145 lbs wet, maybe thats why they dont move, lol.

Didn't think of that, you might have a good point. I am 190, 45 extra pounds shifting around

khtso · 09-18-2009, 05:12 PM

I'm 155lbs and the seat moves and clicks all the time.

Blown32 · 09-18-2009, 06:08 PM

200 here and have never had a problem with the seating in my touring/sport Z.

Rhinetom · 09-28-2009, 11:45 AM

Yikes! My base, auto trans drivers seat moves a bit. Very annoying, I will let dealer know at first oil change.
