2011 Nissan LEAF Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1647298
Internal NHTSA #	11311406
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	LEAF
Model Year	2011
File date	25/02/20
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Air bag light flashes indicating air bag system inoperative. It can be reset by recycling the car on/off 3 time within certain time limits. The light starts flashing again within about 5-20 miles of driving. Same problem on other nissan leafs that were previously recalled. Nissan dealer wants $250 and change to diagnose the problem and then tell me what the solution is, but everybody already knows the solution in a few thousand dollars to replace the passenger seat and sensor. The nissan customer affairs office insists that i pay the diagnosis fee despite the fact that the dash board light already diagnoses this problem, which along with the know history of nissan leaf clearly points to the known problem. Nissan customer affairs says "we will consider good will assistance" - after i pay the diagnosis, but later in the call noted that the car is out of warranty so it is clear no good will assistance is being considered. The dealer service manager (hayward) tells me that he has had a number of leafs in with the airbag light flashing and it could be "anything from a loose connector to the wiring harness," which interestingly is a set of possibilities that excludes the sensor/seat replacement which is the well known fix. This is a safety issue that is nissan's responsibility. Please recall this vehicle. Thanks.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
