| Description of the problem | There have been numerous complaints made about the passenger side air bag defect in the 2011 nissan rouge. My car failed the state inspection because the air bag light was blinking on the dash board. I took my car to the nissan dealership as no one else was able too. Nissan informed me that the air bag sensor in the passenger seat was malfunctioning and would have to be replaced. The only way to replace the sensor is to completely replace the passenger side seat at a price of $2,000. If the sensor is so buried in the passenger seat that the entire seat has to be replaced, then that is a factory defect and is nissan's responsibility to fix it at their expense. You would think that with all the complaints and the fact that this is a major safety hazard, nissan would want to recall and have this problem fixed! Of course, then they couldn't collect $2,000 for every seat replaced for this defect. The warning light just started blinking about a month ago, but who knows how long the air bag has been defective , maybe the light doesn't blink until it is critical because the air bag button always showed the air bag as off no matter how big or small the person sitting in the seat was. This is a safety hazard and attention should be paid! |
