Leaning to the left

wswatson · 09-02-2004, 08:52 AM

Not politically...anybody else feel like their driver's side captains chair is leaning to the left? I know it's not my wallet, after dropping a ton of cash on the new titan.

Anyway, just curious...

Cant say that mine does?!?

Mine feels the same way. I had my dealer order new seats or cover because of the quality of the seats.

I know mine does. I have put that on this site once before. I have about 3000 miles on my car and I know the seat definitely leans to the left. There are also a couple of threads coming out. I plan on taking the truck in at about 4000miles for service; I figured I would see what they say then. It is a little uncomfortable. Besides that I have not had any other problems.

Mine actually leans to the right, but not enough for me to complain about yet...

I think that they should have made the side bolsters taller. I don't always feel like I am sitting in the center of the seat, and that one side bolster is lifting me up. If I shift to the right an inch or so, it feels okay, but they could improve the feel. They could also make the seat a couple of inches wider. Narrow for me, and I don't think that I am a wide load.

Also, if you are 6' 4" tall, the seat does not go low enough. Makes it so that the mirror blocks much of your view. "A" pillars block enough without the mirror in the way too.

I've always thought it leaned a little but maybe could be my imagination. I'm very careful getting in and out to use the steprail so as to not crush the seat in an abnormal way.

I think mine leans to the left too. BTW, I'm a normal sized 200 lb guy.

Put my name on the list.

same here, only notice it when i think about it.

Glad it's not only me. Thought it normal, every time I get in , I always have to adjust myself to the right to make sure I am centered, but even after a few minutes of driving , I feel like I gotta adjust again. By now it's just normal for me, but after seeing this thread I'll take it in and see what the dealer thinks. I should just save the $$ on gas as they won't do a dam thing about it I'm sure.

I was just at the dealer to take my 04 maxima in for service and I looked at the floor model Titan and the seat is flat on the left side. I bet it has to do with getting in and out of the truck. I just dont think it should happen with a truck that is only 2 months old. I will see what they say when I bring the titan in for service.

Never feel like I'm leaning in my seat but I agree that there isn't much side cushion support on the left. If you sit too close to the edge of the seat while getting in the truck the cushion will actually sink low enough where it trips the power seat recline lever and the seat back starts moving forward.

Yep, I had the same problem too. And since it started leaning to the left, my left knee always rested at the door handle, and the dawn thing is hard plastic so the side of my left knee got a big old dent on it everytime I get off the truck

hurts like heck too. My wife said I walked funny every since I got the truck

I have not noticed the driver seat being uneven, but I have noticed the passenger seat feels loose. It "wobbles". Doesn't feel right. Like the seat back is not connected to the seat properly. Anyone eelse have that problem?????

Mine doesn't lean, but agree that the Titan captains chair/seats are substandard in a number of ways, (fabric, padding, side support, support under the thighs) but especially range of driver side adjustment, probably due to the woofer under the driver seat. I'm considering a transplant from new GM/Chevy to the Titan. IMHO, the GM buckets are the best of the truck seats.
