2009 Nissan Maxima seats complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Driver's seat is not securely anchored to floor - it rocks slightly as I operate the vehicle. The dealer has attempted on 4 occasions to remedy this problem, and has not been able to. I do not believe the seat is sufficiently secure to protect me in a serious collision.
Driver side seat in my nissan maxima 2009 has been replaced (the base) and still have an issue with flexing, I am afraid that if there is a major accident the seat is going to come apart and cause serious injury.
The drivers seats in many 2009 maximas are unstable and rock back and forth while the car is in motion. When accelerating, stopping or turn corners the seats rock causing your foot to be unstable on the brake or accelerator.
In january 2009 I purchased a brand new 2009 nissan maxima. In april my interior lights, steering wheel and seat and the heat on my drivers side seat stopped working. I took my car in to the nissan dealer for repairs, I was told that there was and electrical problem and that they had repaired it. Two weeks later the same thing happened to me when I went to georgia, when I got back to maryland I took my car into the nissan dealer for repairs again and was told that they could not find anything wrong with my car. On may 19th my steering wheel stuck in the highest upward position again and also my seat was not working, and the locks on the doors kept locking and unlocking while my car was turned on but not being driven, on may 20th I took my car in for repairs again, the service writer at the nissan dealer looked at it and also noticed the problem ( my steering wheel was still stuck in the upward position and the seat was not working), after he played around with several buttons he told me that everything seemed to be doing fine and he didn't know if they could do anything for me. I told him that I would leave my car for repairs because I knew something was wrong still with my car. I received a phone call from the dealer and was told that they could not find anything wrong. I know something is wrong, so where do I go from here. This has been three times that they have tried to fix my car and I am getting nowhere.
