| Description of the problem | Brought my car to lia nissan of saratoga ny june 29th 2018. The did a recall replacement of my passenger side airbag occupant sensor, since then, and before the year was out, the part has gone bad again. Brought to dealer, the service manager states that because i didn't bring it in before the year warrantied date, they need to charge me a $119 diagnostic fee. The part to replace the occupant sensor costs $45 retail. I do not feel i should be responsible to pay a fee for a part that is known to have multiple failures. |
