ON THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT, WHEN SEAT WARMER IS ON BOTH LOW OR HIGH SETTING, RIGHT SIDE OF SEAT GETS EXTREMELY HOT. IT HAS BURNED ME SEVERAL TIMES AND NOW MY HUSBAND WAS BURNED WHEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR 10 MIN. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD.

I HAVE A 3 SEATER, DURING A REAR END COLLISION, THE MIDDLE SEAT SWUNG BACK AND LOCKED WITH THE 3RD SEAT. WHEN THE SEAT LOCKS THERE IS NO SPACE BETWEEN THE SEATS; IF SOME IS SITTING IN THE BACK THE LEGS WILL BE CRUSH DURING A COLLISION. MY 5 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER WAS SEATING IN HER CAR SEAT AND BY A BLESSING OF GOD, SHE WAS ABLE TO RAISE HER LEGS BECAUSE THEY ARE SHORT. THE MIDDLE SEAT IS NOT PROPERLY LOCKED.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2016 Nissan Rogue verdict →
