SEATS
CAR WAS TAKEN UPON MOVE TO THE NETHERLANDS. NISSAN USA AND NISSAN NETHERLANDS GIVE ME RUN-AROUND ON THIS STRANGE PROBLEM. I ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT SEATS MUST WITHSTAND BIG FORCES IN CASE OF A ACCIDENT, NOT FAIL WHILE CRUISING! AT THIS POINT THE CAR IS STILL AT A DEALER TO BE LOOKED AT BY SEVERAL INSTITUTIONS IN THE NETHERLANDS. MY GOAL IS TO MAKE THIS PROBLEM AWARE TO ALL MAXIMA DRIVERS AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY DUE TO FACT THAT WE DRIVE MORE THAT 1 NISSAN! I DO NOT WANT MONEY COMPENSATION.
