| Description of the problem | The passenger airbag light displaying off ... Stayed off when anyone heavier than 50lbs sat in it.. I did some research on the internet and found that there was a recall involving this situation for my model.. 2008 nissan altima.. I took it to woodbury nissan and was told that my vehicle was not affected and for approximately 1000 dollars they would fix it?!!! This was totally an unsatisfactory answer and i contacted the northeast regional service department for them to tell me the same thing?!!! I recently went on this sight to find that the recall is exactly what the issue is? Please help me to get this situation rectified as it seems that nissan does not want to take responsibility for the product that they make or products installed in theyre vehicles... Thank you very much [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
