Description of the problem	Drive my nissan armada on 12/7/08 and the airbag light comes on with the flashing srs light. I have the extended warranty so i take it to dealership. Dealership tells me it's the sensor and that it would be $385 to fix and it's not covered under my warranty as it's an electrical component. So i do some research and see that this is a problem with 2005 armadas (which mine is an 05) and that there is a voluntary service bulletin issued which states that there is a known defect and that some dealerships are fixing at their discretion free of charge. I call the nissan hotline (1-800-nissan1) and issue a complaint. No one could help me, the last person i spoke to was the regional specialist. I say this is a known manufacture defect and that customers should not be held responsible for the manufactures mistake. So in the mean time, we contact our local dealership, again. Speak with service manager, he says that if there was a collision the airbag will not deploy, but there is nothing that can be done because my vehicle's vin number doesn't come back with any eligible recalls pertaining to that. So fast forward a week to 1/7/09, see on my local news there is a recall on nissan trucks. I look up the recall and see it's on the 2005-2009 frontier, pathfinder, and xterra that was either purchased or registered in cold weather climates. So i call dealership, he plugs my vin into the computer "there are no recalls on this vehicle" so i call 1-800-nissan1 again.. Reference my old ticket and issue a new one. "regional specialist" called back and states there is still nothing that could be done for us. In researching this, this is a common problem for 2005 armadas, customers shouldn't be held responsible for their defect, especially if it involves the loss of the use of airbags.
