| Description of the problem | Problems w/ passenger side airbag lock mech. Trouble turning the key to off position. Now it is locked in off position and can not be turned back on. Posted this issue on a nissan forum and found it to be a common problem! I called a factory and they said the only fix was to take out lock core and have it re-keyed. Not a good thing if you ask me! |
