Need Help Here!!!


My G coupe drivers seat is turning into sh*t, it is squeaking all the time now, whenever I go over a bump, and accelerate and decelerate, also the seat bolster on the left hand side is wearing, Yes I know the leather will get creases in it, but the foam in the seat is wearing down to the metal in the seat, and the fricken thing is looking and sounding like hell, So talked to the dealer, and he won't cover it. WTF????

Anyone here have that problem??

Thanks


****UPDATE****

The dealer has agreed to repair the seat and the leather, they have also agreed to find out and fix the clicking noise.

THANKS TO BIRCHWOOD INFINITI IN MB for their continued service.

weight watchers?

 

typical Japanese guy that would drive such car is 135-165lbs and short.

 

i think any car marketed in the US should be capable of handling a typical US citizen.

i have an '05 and the seat started to squeak and crap. i did the lowering mod and i don't know why but the squeaking stopped.

 

What a retarded statement from an immature "adult".

Using that intellectual perspective, I'll assume that you should take your boney *** to the gym and bulk up a bit.


If you don't have anything relevant to add to the discussion just shut up and leave the board for useful members.

 

Buddy I think you should shut the Hel* Up,
I was asking if anyone had a problem with their seat noise and the side of the seat wearing,
I wasn't asking for you to tell me on how to LOOSE Weight, I dont need to lose weight...

 

Yep, 6'1" and 200lbs. is overweight.

You need to start cardiovascular exercise and a diet aimed at weight loss soon or you will start to have cardiac problems sooner than you should.

Just because the "typical American" is overweight and almost obese, does not mean that this acceptable.

Loose weight, people.

 

LOOK ALL: I was asking for a a simple question, has anyone occured these problems, not on weight, and also i have 48,000km on the car, do you guys have that much on yours ????

 

Well i am 6'2" 215lbs with a muscular built so just cause someone is over 200lbs doesn't mean that they are fat and lazy....

 

There is no set 'proper weight' for each height. I'm 6'2", 195 lbs, and I'm probably only about 5 lbs more than what I ideally should be (I have a bit of a spare tire around my waist). Weight can come from several sources; fat, bone thickness, muscle build, brains, needing to go to the bathroom, and so on. Just because one person weighs 10 lbs more at a given height does not mena thy are 'fatter'. Obesity has to do with the amount of fat within your body compared to the size of your body, not the weight of your entire body compared to your height.

 

Definition of overweight and obesity — The terms overweight and obesity are frequently used interchangeably, although they are defined differently.

Overweight refers to a weight above the "normal" range. This is often determined from life insurance tables or from ranges of body mass index.

Obesity is defined by the presence of excess body fat. (See "Determining body composition").


Body mass index — In practice, the distinction between overweight and obesity is made on the basis of the body mass index (BMI). The BMI is the most practical way to evaluate the degree of excess weight. It is calculated from the weight and square of the height as follows:

BMI = body weight (in kg) ÷ stature (height, in meters) squared


The BMI can also be obtained from a nomogram or a table (show figure 1 and show table 2A-2B). BMI is correlated with body fat and is relatively unaffected by height.

The definition of overweight and obesity varies by race. Overweight for whites is defined as a BMI between 25 and 29.9 kg/m2 and obesity is defined as a BMI of 30 kg/m2 or more. For Asians, overweight is a BMI between 23 and 29.9 kg/m2 and obesity a BMI >30 kg/m2. The WHO and NHLBI Guidelines are currently applied to whites, Hispanics and blacks.
