| Description of the problem | My nissan leaf was experiencing a seat belt not buckled and it would light up when no one was sitting in the seat. I have taken it to the dealer three times to have it fixed. The first two times they reset the sensor and it would stay fixed for 2 months. I just took it back the 3rd time. The dealer said the airbag would not deploy in an accident. Since it was a safety issue not covered under warranty, i chose for them to fix my vehicle. The ocs sensor and control module was faulty. It cost me $652. 56 to repair it. I thought it would be covered under warranty since this was a safety issue. I want to report this issue to you since it was a safety issue. I do not want anyone dying in a car accident due to the airbag not deploying. |
