Description of the problem | The 2013 pathfinder 3rd row seat head rests are too tall causing your blind spot to increase (two or three times more). With those seats in the upright position you can not see the traffic in the opposite lane when looking in the rearview mirror unless it's about a car length behind you. This is a safety issue that could cause an accident leading to an injury or possibly death because you did not see the vehicle in your now extended blind spot. I made a complaint with carlock nissan with no success in getting this resolved. I was told to fold the seats down but this is not possible when i have passengers in those seats. |
