This is what he originally wrote "Time to vent a little. Bought an 07 new and also got the Nissan "Security+Plus Vehicle Protection Plan - Gold". The car currently has approx 52,000 miles. Took it to the dealership because the passenger seat adjustment mechanism that allows the seat to slide fore and aft stopped working. The seat is locked into a single position." I don't think this is the same problem with this seat.
I wish I could post the service bulletin. Here is a few key points.
NTB10-060 April 22, 2010 My concern is that this is not an isolated issue, if they have a Service Bulletin posted. I believe that Nissan knows they have a problem.
To have a seat not adjust correctly is really a safety issue. Can I expect the seat to stay on the track if God forbid I have an accident? To tell you the truth, I am not thrilled with my first experience with a Nissan product. Maybe I am just reading too much into it, but having my 1/2 block replaced in less than 15,000 miles is not a good way to be introduced into the Nissan family.
