 Description of the problem2004 nissan 350z. Current mileage - 58,000+. Purchased new from a local dealer in november of 2004, after searching all of the dealers in central florida for the z that had the trim and safety package that we wanted. Beginning in 2007, the vehicle has had ongoing problems with the airbag light / airbags / diagnostic unit: 08/08/07 - airbag light is on - ? False code? 08/14/08 - airbag light is on - ? Ordered left side airbag? 08/27/08 - ? Replaced failed left airbag unit? 11/11/08 - airbag light is on - ? Found pass codes clear all ok? 05/03/10 - airbag light is on - ? Needs diag unit and pass side curtain air bag? 06/22/10 - ? Replaced diag unit and rh side module? 11/08/10 - airbag light is on - ? Recommend lh front side air bag and diagnosis sensor? We were told by our dealer that the diagnosis sensor would be covered under warranty because it was less than five months since it had been replaced, but that we would need to pay over $700 for the airbag to be replaced. Logic tells us that the airbag may not need to be replaced if the diagnosis sensor is bad, but our local dealer is telling us that nissan will not allow the diagnosis sensor to be replaced without also replacing the airbag. Logic also tells us that, unlike other parts, the airbags are not ? Wearing? Items that require maintenance or replacement (unless they deploy, of course), so why do they need replacing? We contacted nissan usa and asked that the faulty diagnosis sensor be replaced with one that will work for longer than five months, and will stop giving false codes. We also asked nissan to replace the airbag at no cost to us because it is their 'requirement'. This morning, a regional representative from nissan usa finally contacted us, and we were told that we would have to pay for the airbag if we wanted the faulty diagnosis sensor replaced! Our concern is for our safety. What will happen if we have an accident? Will any of the airbags deploy?? *ln

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
