| Description of the problem | Started the engine about 1 month ago before pulling out of my driveway and the airbag light started blinking and remained on ever since. Took the vehicle to a nissan dealer to have it checked. Initially they told me nothing was wrong with the airbag so they reset the light and charged a $75. 00 diagnostic fee. But as soon as the technician returned with the vehicle the light came back on again. He took it back to the repair area and after 2 hours he came back and said the airbag computer is malfunctioning and is not able to recognize the vehicle. He stated that it would cost $1500. 00 to replace the air bag computer which my warranty does not cover and i don't believe that this problem should be a customers responsibility as air bags are important safety features which should not just randomly malfunction especially since the vehicle has never been involved in any accidents whatsoever. I asked if there was a recall on the airbag and he said no, i also asked if this is recurrent problem for other consumers with the same vehicle and he responded that he does see this problem quite often with the same vehicle. |
