| Description of the problem | After i bought my 2007 murano from a reputable dealer, my airbag light started flashing. I took it to nissan to have them tell me what it was. They told me that the passenger seat cushion and diagnostic module needed replaced. They told me it would cost me almost $3000. 00 to fix the airbag sensor. After further research, i have discovered that there are many, many others that have this same issue. I know there was a recall for this type of problem but i am wondering why the 07 and 08 model year muranos were not included in the recall. This is how the initial recall looks including the 07, 08, and 09 muranos- vehicle make / model: model year(s): infiniti / ex35 2008 infiniti / g35 2007-2008 infiniti / g37 2008 nissan / 350z 2007-2008 nissan / altima 2007-2008 nissan / altima hybrid 2007-2008 nissan / murano 2007-2009 nissan / rogue 2008 followed by the summary of the recall that explains the exact problem but excludes the 2007-2008 murano models. What do we have to do to get nissan to extend the recall for the rest of us that got left out of the recall process. The same system was used in the 2007-2008 muranos but not sure how they were left out.??? |
