| Description of the problem | Dashboard air bag warning light began flashing. Subsequent trip to the dealer diagnosed a defective passenger seat sensor, which is built in to the seat bottom, so the entire unit must be replaced. Although i had purchased an extended warranty, that part was not covered and the seat bottom must be replaced as it is a safety issue. Forwarded a request for assistance to nissan usa, and the jury is still out on that move. There have been very few passengers in that automobile, with the great majority of the miles on the car being driver only miles. *kb |
