| Description of the problem | The side airbags deploy too easily in frontier trucks, all without need of a crash nissan won't cover the damages under warranty and refuses to reimburse owners who must pay out-of-pocket for repairs. Nissan does have a program to reprogram the air bag diagnosis sensor unit but will not cover the reinstall of the side curtain aid bags. The air bags are going off because of a false reading from the sensor unit. My frontiers side curtain air bags deployed at 5mph on a flat surface. |
