| Description of the problem | My 2005 nissan armada's air bag srs system is inoperable. The dashboard light indicated a failure of the airbag system while the vehicle was under warranty and i thought it was repaired after several instances. I have taken the vehicle to several mechanics to have the srs system repaired. Nissan claimed it has been everything from the seatbelt tensioners, sensor modules under the seats to bad electrical connectors. All of these components have been replaced but my dash lights show i still have inoperative airbags. The srs system on my armada is currently in failure again and i cannot afford to pay nissan again to attempt to repair the problem. I also have a second issue with the abs brakes activating randomly during normal slow speed stops in which the brakes shake violently and with little stopping force. It seems the abs system is activating under light operational conditions. This has been a re-occurring problem each summer. Nissan cannot duplicate the problem so i have been sent home without remedy. I am complaining because i have no other recourse except to warn others before someone is seriously hurt or killed through the failure of the brakes or the airbags. I am the original owner and the vehicle has not been modified in any manner. |
