Its what this whole thread is about. Here's the recall:

Thanks. For some reason, I didn't catch that this thread was about the lumbar controls, but rather all seat controls (and when he specifically said "lumber recall", thought that there was a recall for the shifting lumbar....).

 

I went to the dealer and the part is backordered. I will check with them next week to see if the part came in.

 

Got a letter last night from Nissan, guess I made the list...

 

got the letter early jan.... had it done ... although I never had a problem with the lumbar or any other seat problems (excepting that it does not heat that fast as the wheel)

The dealership fixed my lumbar... but now my moonroof does not work with the slide controls.... guess they missed some wiring... have to go back again.. but the good thing... they heard some sounds from my car.. and now they are going to replace teh front struts (both)... i complained abt. squeaky noises from the back during cold weather....but the temp being as it is...the sound is not coming now....

so incase u guys go for the recall.. check all (other) switches to see if they work ... after teh job is done..

 

I might be wrong, but if they disconnected the battery during the time of the fix, you just have to reset the moon roof. In your manual they tell you how to do it. It takes less thatn 30 seconds.

Please let me know if that was the cause.

 

tubells - Have you tried ramberg's 'fix' on the power roof? That happened to me both times the dealer had the battery disconnected. As ramberg said, just follow the driver's manual and it is easily reset.

I had to reset all radio stations and memory seats, etc, also.

 

Is it okay that I bought the Max new and haven't received one recall notice for her yet? I do have the DPP. I have not received the sub-frame recall or the lumbar recall. I (as of yet) haven't had any noise or strut issues that I am aware of. Just wondering why I haven't received a thing from Nissan regarding this. I did call Benson Nissan and they said that my Max does qualify for the lumbar recall. She goes in tomorrow early morning. So why no notice?

 

b/c as already stated in both threads there are 1000's of cars and only so many dealers. Things take time. I just received my postcard this week about the lumbar to set an appointment. My letter about the frame arrived a couple weeks ago stating to wait for my turn.

 

ramberg, Lightonhill,

have not done that yet (reset teh moonroof) will try it and let u guys know.. the moonroof works with the up/down button (both up & slide if I hold) but not with the slider..
p.s. my radio stns kept their memory.. but my seat memory lost it..

was more focussed on water falling in my car today... had some snow last night and it was melting this morn.. and i see the drops coming from the sunglasses bin today.... hopefully it is not the leaky moonroof problem...

 

tubells - Be sure and read the sticky about the 'leaky sunroof'.

Keep in mind the water will always seep in around the power sunroof, but Nissan has a drain system that is supposed to carry the leakage down both 'A' pillars. The water leaking into the cabin is a hint one of the two 'A' pillar drain tubes may be blocked.

The sticky has all the details on how to determine exactly where the problem is.

 

Just received my recall notice on the seat wiring Saturday.

lightonthehill, do you recommend preventive maintenance on the pillar drain tubes or waiting until signs of leakage?

 

Well folks, had seat recall issue handled today! Still no notcie, as stated before I just called the service advisor at my dealership and he set up an appointment. Disconnected the battery, sunroof wasn't working (thanks to this forum, I was able to re-align it), no memory seat settings were saved or radio stations.

 

Rathmax - I wouldn't worry if I never saw any water near the eyeglasses compartment or felt wetness near the tops of the 'A' pillars. But if you want to be absolutely sure, I will excerpt this from the detailed sticky:

Open your sunroof all the way on a decent weather day and put water in the front corner recesses near the visible drain holes above the tops of both 'A' pillars. If it goes into the holes and comes out on the ground just behind the front tires, the drains are fine.

For those who have had significant leaks in their car, after the leak is fixed, the carpet and underneath pad of involved footwells MUST be lifted and dried out, else rust WILL form and spread.

 

LoH, Ramberg,
i tried resetting the sunroof today as per the manual... no luck... did it a few times... will have to see the dealer...:-(( infact it does not behave as the manual says,... when i hold the button to keep it open .. it just does that .. keep it open.. does not close.
thanks for the info tho.. I did not know that.

and Loh.. will also try what u mentioned abt. the roof drains.... ^^ thks!

 

Regardless of how many times it has been in other threads, I am in this one. Is my dealership the one to issue the recall? Or is it Nissan Corp? If it is corporate, then it wouldn't matter how backed up the dealerships are would it?

My issue also stems from other issues with my dealership. My salesman kept insisting I bought an Altima, My concerns are that Corp, (regardless of how many times I have called them and corrected it) still has me registered to an Altima. All this to say, I am concerned that this may be proof that I am still not registered to a Maxima, which means I may not receive recalls issued to my car.....Maybe there are deeper issues here?

 

and if you read THIS one you would have seen what I'm talking about. There are only 2 recalls therefore 2 threads. So it make no sense to you that Nissan would wait instead of sending a notice to every single owner on the same day? Why would they bog down the dealerships??

Your name is not registered to a car. Your name has a VIN number associated with it. Call Nissan if you're so concerned.

 

Nismo,
I HAVE read this one, ...... Corporate is the one responsible for sending the notices so that the owner takes the initiative to call and set up an appointment with their local dealership. (I called and verified that).

Apparently you are the one NOT reading the thread. I have called more than once! We can play word symantics if you'd like.....my name vs. my vin vs. my car! It's all the point. My name wasn't tied in with the vin of this car. Thus my concern for the recall notice and not receiving one. Why is this such a difficult thing to get? Why all the tyranny?

 

I simply told you that this thread already mentioned that not all notices would/could be sent immediately. Also that I received my other recall notice a month after many others.

Calm down and quit taking ish personal. So you called Nissan more than once and your car is still not registered with you? You seem to act like it's my fault or something. I know if it were I in your shoes, I wouldn't get off the phone until a rep until he gives me a confirmation # that I called, could repeat my VIN, and say that a letter was sent out to confirm this aswell. While on the phone with Nissan, I would also be told (if not I would ask) to setup an immediate appointment with a dealership and a # they should call if any problems.

But see, I'm not even worried about either recall b/c I read and understand them (on here before I even received them---I linked them in the Sticky for everyone). The sub-frame is NO risk. Ehy hurry?? The wire is only a risk if it gets pinched. (I already disabled the moving exit feature, if not I would now).

 

Nismo,

I appreciate this response to what may be redundant and irritating questions to you, much better than any of the last. You even made some logical suggestions that I have simply overlooked. For those, I thank you (Sincerely, I do). I wasn't blaming you for NMNA issue.

I have met with the owner of our dealership to resolve this on their end, as well as gotten operator names of those at NMNA. What I did not get was a confirmation fax or number. I have been told that they would have something in writing to me to confirm it. (Nothing yet)

The seat recall concerned me, not so much because of it's sheer hazard (I wasn't terribly concerned with frying my biscuits). What I am/was bothered with was the underlying issue that they may not have corrected the vin issue. That is what I was worried about. Should there have been a major issue with my car, would NMNA have been able to contact the correct parties?

Again, thank you for your last approach. Much more receivable on my end,
Have a great evening and thank you for your advice.

 

I went today to get my lumbar recall checked and fixed and they still have no parts for it. WTF? Service rep told me it was on back order. How are you going to have an "Important Service Recall" and not have the parts? I understand the parts not being avaliable in Jan. when I first took it in, it is now a month later and nothing. Seems real important to me that my ASSets are now flameable. Why report the problem in Nov. and not have parts ready in Feb?

 

I took mine in for seat recall. the problem I'm having the steering wheel won't come down in position its prgrammed to when I stick the key in. Ihave to open the door and stick the key in a second time before it comes in positon.The seat positions itself to the memory. Had it to dealership 3 times they didn't have a clue. They called engineers in California still no response. Has anybody else had this problem ?

 

They have the parts here in Michigan,taking it in march 8 to have fixed.Dealership tells me about 2 hours to fix

 

I got my recal printed for me at the dealership while I was purchasing my extended warranty. Then it took them a few weeks to order the parts. Now, they have the parts and want me to "drop off" the car for the day, I have absolutely no time or way of doing this. So now I am in a bind.......

 

Well my friend at the dealer was wrong. My car was in the recall and I had to wait about two weeks for the part.

 

Im on my 3rd week waiting for an ABS control unit, they already have the seat part but ill have it done at one time..Backorder is killer, ridiculous. Does anyone know if this has any effect on how quickly the driver seat heats up?

 

Yeah, 1st couple weeks owning the car back in 2003 my lumbar broke, shortly after the motor that raises the front bottom part of the seat broke too...both fixed underwarrenty, now, years later i get this recall.

 

I am waiting for a new manifold cover for three weeks. I am going to do something with it. They told there was a backlog on it and only making it for the new cars. So I quess they don't care about the old cars. If they don't have it today I will call the Nissan 800 number and complain that I can't drive my car.

 

I work at Nissan in Charlotte Harbor, FL and the seat recall is no problem. I have done maybe 50 recalls on those seats. I havent found a bad one yet but I am sure to come across one. I actually have some new seat switches if anyone is interested. The part numbers are:

87317-7ZY311 & 87317-7Y310

 

yeah i dont know if anyone else had said this but i was in the dealer about a week and half ago and i got 2 recalls done the driver seat thing, and a rear suspension on the back passenger, i dont know exactly but i had to leave it for the whole day. I have an 05 so you guys might want to go to the dealer and get that done.

 

yeah, we know. Read through the STICKY (s) and you will know what it is all about.
