Description of the problem | I currently own a 2006 infiniti m45. I have a safety issue which involves a broken driver side seat lift bracket. I wasn't doing anything abnormal, but when i sat down in my vehicle i heard a "pop" and notice the seat now had a slight lean towards the center console. This is a huge concern, and after doing extensive research online, i have found that it is a manufacture defect rather than normal part wear. I'm real frustrated that i have spent this much money on a luxury vehicle (my third infiniti), and a safety concern like this (which should be a recall) isn't addressed by infiniti, but rather the cost be covered out of the customers pocket. I spoke with my local dealer about it, and was given a substantial estimate to examine it, and 6-7 x's larger amount to repair it. This is truly frustrating and the fact that i have been told that it is "my problem" is really steering me away from purchasing another infiniti vehicle . |
