For the past year, the front driver seat will jolt slightly forward upon braking, and jolt/click back upon accelerating. I began to notice it when I would start the car and start driving, because the seat would move back ever so slightly, even though the seat hadn’t been moved prior as I am the only one who drives the vehicle. And then upon braking, the seat would move slightly forward.

Good evening, I’m not sure if I’m doing this correctly. The reason I’m writing this letter is because my wife was currently driving a Nissan Rogue 2016 SV until we purchased a new car this year. I cannot recall exactly when I started to hear the noise or feel my driver seat on my Nissan Rogue rocking back when accelerating and rocking forward when pressing the brakes normally.

When braking one can feel the drivers seat lift forward as if it isn't bolted on correctly. If one were to get in a collision it feels like if the seat would just fly off. It's felt this way since I got the vehicle.

I have a 3 seater, during a rear end collision, the middle seat swung back and locked with the 3rd seat. When the seat locks there is no space between the seats; if some is sitting in the back the legs will be crush during a collision. My 5 year old granddaughter was seating in her car seat and by a blessing of god, she was able to raise her legs because they are short.

The owner's manual for the 2016 nissan rogue notes the ability to install car seats in both the outboard and center seating positions of the second row of the vehicle. While there are no latch hooks for the center position, there is a ceiling-mounted hook and directions in the owner's manual for use of lap belts to secure a seat in the center position (section 1-43).

I HAVE HAD MY NISSAN FOR A YEAR AND LOVE IT. HOWEVER WHENEVER I SLOW DOWN TO STOP, OR TAKE OFF, I HAVE NOTICED MY DRIVER SEAT WILL GLIDE FORWARD AND SOMETIMES CLICK OR CLUNK, I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST BECAUSE I AM A MORE HEAVIER GUY. I STARTED READING MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MAKE NISSIAN WERE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. IT HAS BEEN HAPPING ON AND OFF SINCE ABOUT MARCH 2020 WHEN I STARTED TO REALLY REALIZE IT.
