| Description of the problem | My 2012 nissan murano has approx 119,000 miles on it. The passenger side air bag light stays on indicating that the airbag is off, even when there is someone in the passenger's seat, even when it's a full grown adult. In addition, i have a flashing red airbag light on my dash as well. After a couple weeks of this, i took my vehicle to the dealer as listed in the manual. They said the sensor went out and the entire seat cushion for the passenger side would need to be replaced at a cost of ~$5300. I only paid $11000 for the vehicle to begin with. There's no way i will be paying half the vehicle's worth for a basic safety necessity. I believe the manufacturer should pay for any costs related to a safety issue such as this and it appears that i'm not the only vehicle owner experiencing this issue. Please rectify the situation and do a recall for these airbags or for the sensors in the seat cushions. It's not right to put us all in danger like this. |
