Sometimes when I'm driving down the road the seat reclines all the way back when I spoke to Nissan executive headquarters Maria there said they spoke with Grubbs Nissan and said yes this could happen the seat reclines all the way back and it obstructs The View while I'm driving down the road I need this to stop it's unsafe
Driver's side powered seatback randomly tilts backward, losing the seat settings that the driver has set. Nissan and other Frontier owners say it is because of the way the driver gets in and out of the vehicle, especially by 'heavier drivers', and claim the driver hits the controls with the back of their leg when getting in or out of the vehicle. This requires the driver to adjust the seat each time this happens. I'm one of those 'heavier drivers', and have also noticed that on a few occasions, the seatback slowly tilted back while driving. Because Nissan said it would require a redesign of the seats, my dealer, with the approval of a Nissan regional technician, installed an on/off power switch that cuts the power to the seats so once you set the seat position and turn off the power, the seat doesn't move.
The driver's seat back does not maintain its position. the seat reclines intermittently while the vehicle is not occupied.
The drivers seat reclines and tilts all the way back on its own , truck has no automatic seat settings , this renders a choking or pinning hazard to rear passengers.
