Driver seat height won't stay adjusted high like I prefer it. I have my mirrors adjusted to a high position but the seat gradually sinks down on its own.

I purchased a 2007 Nissan Altima SE V6 about 2 years ago and the power steering is going out. My son was driving the car and it became so hard to turn, that he ended up driving onto a sidewalk. Luckily he was fine and no damage to the car was done. We've also had electrical issues almost immediately after purchasing. His driver seat does not move and windows work when they want to.

Purchased this vehicle from the original owner. Saw that the front passenger air bag "off" indicator light stayed on when the front passenger seat was occupied along with the air bag warning light blinking in the instrument panel (all the time). Upon investigating the issue, I found that the "varistor" in the OCS control unit (occupant classification system) in the front passenger seat was bad. This varsitor is the switch that engages the front passenger air bag when the seat is occupied. This was recalled for 2007 Nissan Altima under NHTSA campaign number: 08V521000. I contacted Nissan North America about the issue and was told my car (by VIN) was not affected. When I questioned why I was having the exact same issue as the recall, I was told that the customer service representative for my region would call me. When I was contacted, I was told that my car was already checked and that there was not a problem. When I asked how my car was checked when I was told it wasn't affected, I was told I could take it to any dealer and they would be able to diagnose/repair the issue. When I asked about the recall and the cost for repair the rep. Told me my car was "X" months and "X" miles out of warranty. I explained that I was looking for a required safety device to be repaired not a alternator or water pump. The representative was very smug and basically told me too bad. I asked if it would take somebody being injured in one of their cars with this issue for them to do the right thing but again was told to take it to any dealership for repair. The representative would not even hear that the issue in my car could be related to the recall issue. Photo taken with me sitting in the front passenger seat.

The driver seat shifts and will not stay in place during operation. The right side of the seat will move more compared to the left side and causes the seat to shift/shimmy around curves, elevate and depress when hitting bumps.

Driver side seat shifts left and right while turning. Nissan's tsb for this issue does not resolve and they refuse to inspect further after speaking to las vegas regional rep.

The driver seat in my 2007 Nissan Altima has moved while I am driving since I bought the car. I have brought this in to be serviced for this problem over 6 times in the last year and they have failed to fix it. They performed Nissan tsb ntb08-089 twice already and the seat still moves around when I am driving. This is a major safety issue and it needs to be fixed. I am not the only one having this problem, it is very common for my model car.

Front driver seat moves when you turn corners or stop. Fixed twice so far.

I purchased a new 2007 Nissan Altima in March 2007 and shortly after the seat started to squirm from side to side in turns. I took it to the dealer and they acknowledged the problem. They told me that they could replace the seat rails, but the problem is in the rails themselves and that the problem would just reoccur. I have taken it back to the dealer, but they still tell me that they have no fix for it. My seat is now becoming more and more loose. There are numerous others with the same vehicle and problem. Refer to this site: www.nissanclub.com/forums/new-2007-2008-Nissan-Altima-discussion/268078-does-your-driver-seat-squirm-5.html approximately 75 percent of 200+ customers polled report the same problem. It is possible the other customers do not have power seats as I. the problem seems to be in the power seat assembly.

Similar problem as described by other person in this forum. Driver seat will move with turns or sudden stops. Asked the dealer to replace it and they said that it makes not sense as problem will recur. They also asked me to wait for a recall from Nissan (waiting now for almost one year). I agree on the fact that this is a safety issue.

There is an issue with seat rails in my 07 Nissan Altima. When I have to stop sudden, hard the seat shifts forward and back. They have replaced 2 times already, but need to be done again. Nissan told me they new they had an issue after 2nd repair, that is why they took over month tom fix., now they want to fix with same broken parts, even though originally corporate tech told the dealer not to replace until they had a fix for the problem, they were over ridden by the area rep here. They can not guaranty me it will fix the problems, as well as they can not tell me the seat is going to stop if I had to break for an accident. Put a buy back and Nissan basically has told me to eat the car nd that they wasn't to keep fixing it. The seat shifting is a safety issue and looking at the Nissan Altima forums, this is a common issue with this car. Had the car in at 1550, and 3000 miles to repair this part, then again in March 08.

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that there was a razor sharp edge behind the seat mount that is used to adjust the seat. His wife cut her finger on this edge and required three stitches. The contact has not notified the Nissan dealer. The current and failure mileages were 23,000. Updated 03/13/08.
