| Description of the problem | Takata recall received air bag recall notice. Same time airbag light started flashing on dash. Took to dealer. Charged $124 to diagnose air bag light. Concluded seat belt. Refused to reprogram air bag til seat belt replaced for $500. Wrote to nissan consumer affairs. Called me 4 times to discuss. Final conclusion: vehicle too old to help me with repair. Driving around with dangerous airbags. Nissan will not fix air bag recall until i pay them to replace the seat belt. Afraid to drive on uneven ground as warned by nissan in recall notice. Why is airbag light flashing if it is not a warning about airbags? If there is a seatbelt malfunction why is the seatbelt light flashing. Passenger seat belt appears to function fine. Dealer said that seatbelts currently not functioning!!!?? Vehicle has less than 50k miles on it. Please refer to attached letter. Removed names from the letter. |
