| Component | AIR BAGS |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Air bag warning light started flashing and does not go off. Dealer (lancaster nissan) tested the vehicle and stated that sensor or seat sensor could be bad. They were able to turn off warning light, but it started again the next time i drove the car. Estimates to replace sensor ($1,500) and seat sensor ($4,500) seem extremely high. Vehicle has only 39,000 miles and was purchased new. Dealer stated there is no open recall despite research showing 100's of 2009 muranos with the same issue and a prior recall on earlier muranos and infiniti's - clearly the same manufacturing defect. Have not taken an action to repair at this point, |
