Nissan Complaint - Unethical practices - Nissan Altima

Unfortunately, unless that is a widespread problem the manufacturer is unlikely to cover that repair out of warranty. I do understand your argument that it should not have failed, and it is a large ticket item. Been in your shoes myself.

Perhaps you can find one through a junkyard network?

That stinks. And I suppose there isn't a manual lever, either?

It's unfortunate that your seat went out on you. But I fail to see anything remotely "unethical" here. You're 6 months out of warranty. I could see them going 50/50 on the repair job if were maybe 6 weeks out warranty. But 6 months is quite a while longer.

If you went back to the dealership that you purchased it from, I could see them doing it for cost plus labor, to keep a customer

I have similar issue with Nissan Maronne in Forth Lauderdale, FL. The worst dealer of all times!!!! I purchased new Nissan Altima model 2008 but I purchased it as new in June 2009. My dashboard started to dissolve buy itself, becomes sticky and peals. The dealer says that I am out of warranty from June 2012 and there is nothing they can do. THIS IS A QUALITY ISSUE, HOW COME DASHBOARDS START TO DISSOLVE AND TEAR IN A CAR THAT HAS ONLY 16,000 MILES. THEY SAY THAT THIS PROBLEM IS DUE TO AGE! I do not understand, I purchased this car 30,000 dollars and after 3 years the dashboard starts tearing up. IT IS UNETHICAL PRACTICE, WHAT KIND OF CARS DO THEY SELL WITH SUCH A LOW QUALITY
