What owners wrote
"tamara inflators" seat belts didn't lock or light did not come on. Smashed body all the way to back seat bottom to ground. Engine was idling very high felt/sound as if we were going 60 but only was going 40. No air bags came on. Brakes grinding. Back window blew out and tires flat in back.. Windows slow on drivers side. When the sheriff tahoe hit us at 80MPH on u.s.
The steering wheel moves when the unlock button on the remote control is pressed. This occurs on a random basis when one individual remote control is used and 100% of the time when going between one remote to the other. On a random basis, driver seat does not move back when exiting vehicle and that area of the exit feature is enabled. Please note that this is for the maxima equipped with the memory seat option when the entry/exit feature is enabled.
