Mid/rear Seats Assembly Problems of Nissan Pathfinder

While vacuuming under back seats noticed rust under seats. Only had vehicle 1 month. Showed dealership at next oil change. After multiple attempts to get the dealership to do anything I contacted Nissan myself. They tried to tell me that this rust under the seats is environmentally induced from salt on the roads while transporting the vehicle from a neighboring state. The car was purchased new with the plastic still inside. How can salt get inside the vehicle? they showed me another 2014 Pathfinder just like mine at the dealership and it too had rust under the seats. Obviously this is a defect.

Any items on the floor of the center/back seating section can shift when the brakes are applied. The items can travel under the drivers seat and wedge under the brake or gas pedal. There is nothing under the drivers seat to prevent items from reaching the drivers foot area. On one occasion a water bottle wedged under the gas pedal while entering a 70 mile per hour highway. The bottle had traveled under the seat when the car was going around the curved onramp. Luckily, I was able to pull safely to the side of the road. This has happened more than once, and I try to keep the kids from putting stuff on the floor.

The contact owns a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that the center arm rest in the rear of the vehicle leans on the convertible child safety seat. This causes the arm rest to lean outwards. The failure is due to how the rear seat was designed. The center seat belt was twisted at the base, which made it difficult to tighten and secure the child seat. The contact attempted to disassemble it and was unsuccessful. The owners manual stated that it is unsafe when the seat belt is twisted. The angle of the rear seat is steep at the bottom. The contact is using a huge bath towel folded under the seat, but the seat is not secure. The child seat moves from side to side. The safety seat rests on the edge of where the vehicles seat meets the other section of the rear seat. This increases instability and causes the child seat to angle downwards. The vehicle has no lower anchor tether. The contact has not spoken with the dealer. The purchase date and fuel system were unknown. The current mileage is 95,153 and failure mileage was 60,153.

In the first couple days of buying our new Nissan armada to our surprise there was a tear in the arm as well as a white streak on the captains chair just behind the drivers seat. After trying to figure out how it happened we saw that the arm had hit the center console, causing the tear and streak. Shouldn't the arm automatically go up when the chair is released or maybe the center console a bit thinner so as not to tear a rip in the arms of the chairs? I called Nissan and was told we would have to pay ourselves to have the arm replaced. Called the dealer and just this week (2 months later) they have the part in. Not sure if the dealer is going to charge me or not. I will fight it. I feel that this is a defect in the way the chair and console are too close together.
