| Description of the problem | There was a recall on my model of pathfinder for air bag issues. It was repaired under that recall. At 94000 miles the issue manifested itself even after they supposedly fixed the issue. When there is nobody in the passengers seat the light on the dash will shutoff indicating there is somebody in the seat even when there is no passenger. The air bag sensor on the steering counsel will then start flashing that an error has occurred. I contacted nissan corporate to advise them that the issue is still occurring for what my recall covered. They did not care they only advised me that the vehicle has already received the recall for that issue.. They then advised me that if 'd like it repaired i have to take it in for repair out of pocket at a nissan dealer. They did not ask for any info at all just blew me off. I am writing today as i read in time magazine that nhtsa is opening an investigation into the airbag recalls on the newer models and nissan failed to repair them properly. I am advising you that nissan's recalls on the 2008+ also did not work, and nissan refused to even acknowledged it when i called them and emailed them. |
