| Description of the problem | I had an airbag light come on recently. My nissan dealer said there was something wrong with the side airbag which is built into the driver's seat and would require the back portion of the driver's seat to be replaced. This is a 2014 altima with less than 30k miles on it already having an airbag fault out of nowhere with no accident. It concerns me that i am having to foot a $1600 bill to fix a piece of safety equipment that the manufacture seems to have poorly made. |
