| Description of the problem | Our airbag light started blinking so we brought it in for service to the nissan dealership. They originally couldn't find anything wrong, reset the code and sent us on our way (not without trying to charge us $40 diagnostic fee). After a few hundred miles the light came on again. This time they told us the passenger airbag sensor was faulty and we'd have to replace the entire seat back at the tune of over $1000. We purchased the best warranty package you could get and it covers everything but the airbag sensor. Why would they single out that one thing to not be covered? |
