| Description of the problem | 2005 nissan murano with 31,000 miles. The airbag light was flashing and it was taken to the dealership, where i was told it was the airbag sensor module and it would have to be replaced. I was told without replacing it my airbags would not work and this was not covered under any warranty. I had to pay over $1000 or have no airbags to protect my wife and child. Looking on the internet i see this is a common problem, it looks like nissan should be required to fix this since it is a safety issue. |
