Electric seat will not move forward it goes up and down reclines and goes up. But I cannot get it to move forward. Since I never change my driving position and have no need to move it. It should still work. My car is in prime condition everything on the car is in working and excellent condition. Dealer said I have to get a new "seat and track; I don't understand why then never removed the two bolts and looked to see if the wire may have come off the unit? 2000. 00 dollars to repair sound like a rip off. Your thoughts. Bg.
Driver's seat failed on impact with another vehicle. Seat went into full recline position which caused the driver to be thrown out of his seatbelt and through the back windshield.
The driver's seat in my 2002 Nissan Maxima gle does not move forward making it difficult reaching the petal. Also, the seat can drop to the ground making visibility poor where you may not be able to see what is in front of you. This problem just occurred about 7 months ago out of the blue. I am the only person who dirves this care and rely on the car for transportation to work daily. It is apparent that this matter is a threat to the safety of the driver of the car and Nissan should recall and fix the problem. Toyota stepped up to the plate at least they care about their customer's safety. This is a very serious safety problem and I hope Nissan looks into this immediately. Thanking you for your time and hope this will help everyone that owns a Maxima by Nissan issuing a recall on their front seat safety mechanisms that are defective. I've never owned a car where this was an issue before and would not want someone to get injuried b/c this problem could have been corrected by Nissan.
Driver seat will not move forward or backwards.
