| Description of the problem | On november 5, 2008, i started my 2008 nissan rogue. Both side air bags deployed. I called love nissan, where i purchased the vehicle. They sent a wrecker to pick up my vehicle. They ordered parts and replaced the following components: air bag diagnostic unit, 2 side air bag modules, 2 front seat belt assemblies, headliner, and center garnish finishers. They told me the board in the diagnostic unit was bubbled and they probably would never know what caused this. Previous to this incident, i took my vehicle back for the following reasons: purchased vehicle november 5, 2007. On november 15, 2007, i took it back to the dealership due to the air bag warning light. A diagnostic test was performed. Diagnostic: no codes found or stored at this time, test drove, rechecked codes, no problems found at this time. On january 19, 2007, returned to the dealership because of the same problem. Diagnostic test: no dtc stored in system. At this time all working properly. Test drove. Ok. On january 22, 2008, returned to the dealership due to the same problem. Dealership ordered and replaced: air bag diagnostic control unit, passenger side air bag sensor, and bottom cushion frame assembly. I am afraid to drive this vehicle not knowing if the air bags will deploy again while i am driving. This would cause me to wreck. |
