| Description of the problem | We have received several recall notices involving our nissan altima 2013 involving the takata airbags. The recalls have not consisted of anything significant. Throughout the process of these recalls (i believe 2 or 3) our airbag light on dashboard as well as on the center console has intermittently come on and off. We have taken our nissan to a local nissan approved dealer for all of our reviews/repairs. Approximately 6 months ago we again took our vehicle and the dealership indicated the light was on due to our car battery being low. This was not the case. My husband used a reader and the car's battery was perfectly fine. Just recently on tuesday we again took our car in because the airbag light has not turned off. They have indicated that our side airbag is not working, therefore all of the airbags are off and not properly working. The estimated repair for this is $1500 (not including tax). This issue with airbags has been an ongoing issue. Nissan has not made any efforts to fix this problem other than a band-aid recall. The airbags have never been deployed. Finally, i received a class action notification that this vehicle is listed as a eligible member of this class action. Www. Autoairbagsettlement. Com. We have also called nissan directly and were assigned a case number - 34595466, however no one has provided us with any information. The work on this vehicle is presently being done and will be ready on friday, however we do not have the money to pay for this repair and will be without a vehicle. Thank you for any assistance you can provide. |
