Rogue

The drivers seat failed (Mechanic's words) From the report, "Seat rivets loose can not tighten. will need to replace seat frame." This puts my safety at risk because in an accident, the seat could come off, causing me to go through the windshield, crush injuries, the seat collapsing and being thrown backwards into back seat passengers in the event of getting rear ended. If the seat that I am seat belted in to detaches from the frame, none of the other safety features will matter. Airbags will be useless as will the seatbelt. When I had my oil changed on January 25, 2025, I asked them to check the drivers seat because it was moving slightly. I noticed the movement the week before. I assumed a bolt may be loose for some reason and needed to be tightened. I was shocked when they told me the seat frame failed and could not be fixed. I needed a new seat frame. I had another mechanic tell me to call Nissan because it had to be a manufacturer defect. It was not caused by wear and tear and is not normal. In researching this online, I found other people that have Nissan Rogues that have also had a problem with the driver's seat being loose and/or moving a bit. I did not report this to my insurance because I don't think I should have to pay for it. My car is less than 5 years old and only has around 42,000 miles on it. I contacted Nissan. After they investigated, they offered to pay 70% of the replacement cost. At first, I agreed but after rethinking it, I don't think I should have to pay over $400 to fix a problem that I didn't cause. There was no warning light. This is what I found online~No, a failing front seat frame in a newer Nissan Rogue is not considered normal and could indicate a serious safety issue, as Nissan has issued recalls for certain Rogue models due to potential problems with seat frame welding, which could affect occupant safety in a crash; if you suspect your Rogue's front seat frame is failing, you should immediately contact your Nissan dealer to chec

Driver's seat is clicking and moving the driver back and forth in place while in operation. Also, The seat clicks upon stop and go acceleration, when weight is shifted and/or car breaks for a stop. Driver's seat is unsecure and has multiple movements as if the seat is trying to latch in place all while in driving operation. -2020 Nissan Rogue -

Driver-??s seat failed at the weld. It was squeaking and sliding back and forth a fraction of an inch at starts and stops. It was quite distracting for the driver and passengers thereby creating unsafe conditions. There were no warning lamps. This seat was confirmed by the dealer service center to have failed.

El asiento tiene un ruido muy raro. Pero no se quita con nada. Y además el carro se me frenó una vez llendo en carretera.

Yo he tenido dos frenados de emergencia sin haber nada en el frente. Pero no sabia que pasaba. Almenos no paso nada grave. Pero vi una noticia de Telemundo que el modelo que tengo de carro tiene problemas relacionados. Además mi asiento cuando acelero suena como si estuviera fracturado. Pero en la Nissan me dicen que está bien que no tiene nada malo.

I purchased a 2020 Nissan Rogue sv that has a power adjustable drivers set. The slide rail assembly has play in it when adjusted to my driving position. It rocks back during acceleration and rocks forward during breaking. I can sit in the seat stationary and move it forward and backward with my body weight. The service manager at the dealership tested several other 2020 models and found 3 others with the same issue. One of them rocked back and forth even worse than mine. I contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs and was told by the representative that their internal review was " this is a natural occurrence of the manufacturing process." I owned a 2017 Rogue with the same seat. There was never any play or movement with the drivers seat. My concerns are that if upon impact either front crash or being hit from the rear, this movement in the seat could possibly result in the seat breaking free due to the improper gap between the slide rail assembly pieces. It is also a severe distraction to me as the driver. Distracted driving should be taken seriously in this matter. My last concern is this. How many of these faulty power seats are out on the roads already? I don't want to see a single person caused harm during a crash. Please investigate these power seats from Nissan immediately. Safety must always come first. Thank you so very much.
