2008 Nissan XTERRA Traction Control System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	833432
Internal NHTSA #	10370994
Manufacurer	NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	XTERRA
Model Year	2008
File date	16/12/10
Component	TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The vdc and slip light are constantly on when the battery has either died, or has been disconnected. Once the battery is disconnected the vdc is off and the slip system is off as well. After the battery was disconnected once again the vdc, slip system, and now my air bag light is now constantly flashing and illuminated. I've researched this problem and there are hundreds or thousands that have this same problem. In the owners manual it gives you a very vague description of how to reset this light. I've taken it to the manufacture to be reset, they say it's the vehicle's steering angle sensor that has to be reset, everytime you disconnect the battery, battery dies, alternator goes out, etc. It's $100+ everytime you have to have it reset. Surely this malfunction in their electrical system is not safe, especially if it means now my airbags won't deploy.
