| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 nissan 350z but the incident was not with my car but a my friend's car. He has the same year model nissan 350z as mine he's airbag light came on after a 1 year of owning he's car. He took it to the dealer and was told that he's airbag module had gone bad. Now he made a choice not to have it replace because the part was $750 dollar. He drove the car like this for about a 6 months was hit by another car and he's air bag's did not deploy because of the module issue and was seriously hurt. Now about 3 days ago my airbag light came on in my car. I just took my car to the dealer today and was told that the airbag module is the issue and will need to be replaced,again the cost to replace is $750 dollars. This is obviously a problem with the part that nissan is using on there vehicle's. I fear that if i don't have this part replaced and have a accident the same thing that happen to my friend will happen to me. I have done research on this issue and found that nissan has issued a recall on newer model 350z, 2007 model has the same issue and nissan know this so they have recalled the module. This is a issue on 2005 model too. Nissan should do something about it. This is the recall number for 2007:nhtsa campaign number: 08v521000 and the airbag module part number is 28556cd00. |
