| Description of the problem | The passenger airbag light came on a few months ago. I brought it to the nissan dealership and was told it was a loose wire. Paid $100 on my deductible for the extended warranty. The light came back on a few weeks ago. Now when i take it in they tell me they have to replace one or two sensors each costing $1000 that is not covered up the extended warranty. There seems to be dozens of people with this same car having this same issue. I don't feel safe driving the car but i also don't want to put $2000 into a 2013 car. |
