I just noticed the otherday that my drivers side seat back is clicking whenever I lean against it. When I sit up and dont put my back on the back part of the seat it clicks again but then when I sit back against it it clicks again. Anyone else expericencing this?

no what it sounds like is a loose bolt or two in the seat frame where the seat back connects to the seat base, should be covered under warranty.

I am having the same exact problem on my 2009 Versa Hatchback SL. I have taken the car to one dealer in Raleigh, NC and they said - yes the seatback clicks, they took it apart, re-installed it, and said they could not fix it and that it is normal for all Nissan Versas. I said "No way is that normal, it does not seem safe either, and it cannot be normal because the passenger seat does not do it." I opened a claim with Nissan Consumer Affairs and the South East rep directed me to take it another local dealer to evaluate. Which I did, the dealer acknowledged the issue, but said they did not know how or what would fix it. I said wouldn't replacing the seat fix it? I was directed back to my Nissan Consumer Affairs SE Rep, who said she needs to contact Nissan engineering to see if there is a solution, before they decide to replace the seat. I am waiting to hear back from her now.

Did your seat ever get fixed?

There is a service bulletin NTB09-043 about noisy front seats that you may want to check or refer the dealer to.

I am surprised that the dealer in Raleigh, NC did not see this Service Bulletin.

You would think it would be a place to look at before taking it up with Nissan Engineering.

Yes, this is insane to think that all along there was a Service Bulletin. I cannot wait to hear the Nissan Regional Rep's excuse today.

Thanks should help people that do not have warranty any longer.
