| Description of the problem | Passenger airbag light is on and will not reset. Vehicle has 116,000 miles, code b1018 code which calls for passenger seat sensor and module assembly. This part is part of the seat itself which nissan charges $4000 for. This is a safety issue because no one is going to pay $4000 plus cost to install just to have a passenger airbag. This could result in injury or death that might otherwise be avoided if the cost to repair was reasonable. Nissan had a flawed design where the inexpensive parts were not separate from the very expensive seat. I have contacted nissan and they have no interest in helping out. |
