The seat has been repaired at a Nissan two or three times and still the motor on the seat just stops working so it will not go forward or backward. Regarding the auto braking system, the camera or car will seem something in front of me and will auto brake, a hard brake, but there won’t be anything in front of me.

The Driver Seat moves back and forth when stopping or starting from a stopped position, turning a corner etc..this is a hazzard. This is a safety issue that Nissan should fix - They have indicated that the car is just out of warranty, so i will have to pay 1730.00 to have the seat track replaced. This should not be something the consumer should have to fix- it is a SAFETY HAZZARD

DRIVER SEAT MOVE BACK AND FORTH WHEN BRAKING AND ACCELERATING. I CAN ACTUALLY HOLD THE SEAT AND MOVE IT BACK AND FORTH. IT WOULD MOVE ABOUT 1/2'. IT STARING TO CAUSE UNCOMFORTABLE RIDES AND MOST OF ALL HORRIBLE BACK PAIN. MY DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT'S WHAT CAUSE THE PAIN AND AM ABOUT TO SEE MY LAWYER. IMAGINE DRIVING AND YOUR SPINE IS MOVING AND SHAKING BACK AND FORTH. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE READ OTHER ARTICLES AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. IT'S A SHAME ON NISSAN. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER AND HOPE WILL MILLIONS OF YOU.

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 2019 Nissan Rogue Select verdict →
