| Description of the problem | From the very beginning the air bag light comes on, no matter the weight of the passenger. It does it at random times. I have had it in 6 times, plus had the recall done last year. I just took it in after speaking with nissan usa and they can not recreate the problem. I have pictures showing it not working. The reprogrammed the seat and hope that fixes it. Too bad it is not the first time they have reprogrammed it. The seat belt light comes on after someone gets out of the car and stays on like the seat is telling it there is someone in the car. Nissan has been no help on fixing this. I did advise them if i was to get in a wreck and it not deploy they will have a lawsuit on their hands. The topper i bought my car brand new, i had $500 negative equity. I have never skipped a payment, make extra payments and have a low interest rate. I am almost $7000 upside down on a 2 yr old car. I will never buy a nissan again. |
