Warning Light On problems of the 2007 Nissan 350Z

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan 350z. The contact stated that while driving, the air bag warning light flashed on the instrument panel. The contact researched the issue and saw complaints about the occupancy sensor on the passenger seat. The contact emailed the manufacturer and was informed that the vehicle was not under recall. The contact was referred to the dealer for assistance. The contact was given a case number. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 13,100.

Airbag warning light is intermittently on and off all the time while the vehicle is running. This happens whether the vehicle has stopped for a traffic light or in motion.

Airbag warning light remains on and blinks immediately after the passenger airbag sensor light turns off. The airbag warning light continually blinks while the vehicle is running or the ignition is in the on position.

My passenger side air bag warning light appeared on my dash and I went to new city Nissan to have it repaired. This specific problem was the subject of a massive recall that began on November 4, 2008 that included the Nissan 350z's made in 2007-2008 under the NHTSA campaign id number: 08v521000. The dealership offered to replace the seat assembly for $2630 plus tax. I instead called Nissan north America with my problem, case number 14605979 that was handled by paul smith. I was told that my automobile was not part of the recall and that any cost to repair this problem would be out of my pocket. I did not purchase the car until Sep. 2009 and was not made aware of any recall by the dealership at the time of purchase. At the present, my car cannot pass a safety inspection and the outrageous cost of repair for a problem already identified by the auto maker is prohibitive on my retirement income. This is a safety issue that will not go away.
