| Description of the problem | Supplemental airbag light continue to stay lite though the system is said to be working fine. I took my car in for a service recall on the airbag system. The service writer asked the tech if the light turned off. I couldn't hear the far end of the conversation. I was told the system was fine. Drove off the lot and the light is still on. When i went back the service rep said my airbag was fine and if i wanted the issue resolved i'd have to pay for a service inspection; though just 15 minutes ago it was in for recall repairs. The service recall even stated that if the light was on the system may be impacted by the recall. Of course my warranty was up just 300 miles ago and i am really bothered by the fact they wont at least check it out since they issued a recall. I contact nissan usa, but they have not responded to my request and the local dealer was unwilling to assist. |
