| Description of the problem | This is for the current safety recall issue on this model. I had the dealer "fix" the initial recall but have had numerous incidents afterwards with the airbag. This includes the airbag light intermittently going on/off while my wife is in the passenger seat. In addition i have had the same issue with nothing in the seat. I have video and photo evidence of this occurring after the car was sent to nissan for the initial "fix". When this occurs i am forced to pull over as soon as possible to restart the car. I have told my local nissan dealer face to face that i do not feel safe driving their car which is leased from them and they did not take my concern seriously. I believe i should be allowed to return the car and terminate my lease since i don't feel safe driving my family and friends around in this family sedan. Thankfully i have not been involved in any accident but it makes me extremely nervous if an accident were to occur. |
