Driver seat suddenly fell down and toward the left. This happened as I entered the car while it was parked. Now the seat sits low to the floor and tilted to the side. Seat can be easily moved side to side by hand. Seat lift system seems non functional.

I just bought this car and when I took it out to drive the driver seat was sitting all the way to the floor so I tried raising the seat and noticed it wading moving so I got out to look while trying to raise it and noticed metal trying to come through the leather I don't know what's going on and I hope this doesn't cost me a lot of money to fix.

While driving the vehicle, the driver seat suddenly and without warning, fell to the floor. I bought the vehicle to a mechanic and he said the railing gave way and broke. I checked online and this problem seems typical. I purchase this vehicle new. The vehicle currently only has about 86000 miles. Why is there not a recall.

Weld broke on the driver side seat that now allows the seat to lift up. This happened in 2015. The seat will also no longer move forward.(2020) this model does not have replacement gear which means the whole seat assembly needs to be replaced since it contains the rail track. My wife is much shorter than I am and can no longer drive the vehicle.

While driving the vehicle, I was turning left and the driver seat all of a sudden just collapsed; feeling like the entire seat broke/fell apart. I was able to maintain control of the vehicle and luckily no other car was coming my way when this happened. I was able to continue driving but having to sit upwards all the way home losing several inches of viewing (barely looking at/over the steering wheel). I got home to check out seat and determined the seat collapsed to the floor and can't be raised; the seat is uneven too. You can now push the back of the front driver seat upwards at least 10 inches off the ground. Researched the issue to see what happened and determined this is a common safety issue with infiniti driver seats where the back bar weld breaks preventing the seat from being raised and now remains uneven. This is definitely a safety issue as a possible rear end collision/impact will cause catastrophic injuries (possibly death) since you will be forced upwards into the seat beat area; not how the seat and seat belt were designed to restrain the driver of the vehicle. I have never experienced this issue with a seat in my lifetime. I am shocked this issue is recurring with infiniti, yet no recall on this issue. I am officially reporting this issue and I did take to the infiniti dealer who didn't offer any assistance with fixing the issue, only to order new replacement parts for their defective seat. I declined the $2,122.43 repair for this broken seat weld. If the federal safety agency thinks this isn't a safety issue; since no recall, I will continue to drive this vehicle and advise my personal attorneys of such so in the event any bodily injury occurs, I will have recourse.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 infiniti m35. The contact stated that the driver's seat was turned towards the right and the right back side of the seat was twisted. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 83,000. **tr consumer stated two days after I filed my complaint with nhsta, the other side of the drivers seat frame broke. Luckily I had just sat down in the drivers seat. If I was driving when this occureed I could have been involved in an accident. When the seat frame suddenly broke this would have put me into a bad position if the airbag deployed that could have caused further injury. I purchased a new seat frame with motors for my car from the infiniti dealer and had the seat repaired by the valley upholstery shop. See attached parts and repair receipts. Updated 11/01/18

Ever since the purchase of 00the vehicle, the driver seat slides forward 3 to 4 inches when braking when traveling forward, every time. This has caused the driver's feet to slip off the brake pedal, releasing the brake and almost colliding with other vehicles or objects ahead.

Driver seat leaning toward the door and loose. Weld broke from frame. Very dangerous to drive.
