1 Air Bag On-off Switch problem

Failure Date: 05/22/2005

June 01, 2005 I purchased a 2003 Nissan Altima on April 14,2005 from crown Nissan in birmingham alabama. On may 22, 2005 the vehicle stalled/ stopped while driving down the highway. On Monday morning I again had to have the car towed to the dealer. Mrs. Drew told me the technicians that checked out my car have been employed there more than twenty years, and they found nothing wrong, and if the computer cannot pick up anything, there is nothing to fix. On that day may 23, 2005 I went to pick the car up from crown Nissan, and drove it home. On may 27, 2005 while on my way to work the vehicle stopped on me again. My car arrived at the dealership that morning at approximately 9:00 am. After leaving three voice messages, and several phone calls, I finally reached mr. Dan at 2:16 pm who then told me there was nothing wrong with the vehicle, that the battery was drained possible because of the hazard lights being on. Dan contacted the sales department who agreed to give me car to drive over the weekend; he stated he would check my car again on Tuesday may 31, 2005 to see if he found anything wrong with it. He then told me there was someone out driving my car then and they had replaced a ãƒâ¢ã‚ã‚crank switchãƒâ¢ã‚ã‚쳜 in the car he explained was something that would keeps the car from starting or makes the car cut of while in the process of it being on, mr. Dan said he would try to have my car ready for me on that day. I went to the dealership that evening to pick up my vehicle, and turned in the vehicle I was given to drive. Car stopped on Sunday July 10, 2005 and was returned to crown on July 11, 2005, was driven 249 miles by service department (no problems detected). Returned back to m. M. Peterson on Thursday July 14, 2005, stopped again on Monday July 18,2005 (returned to crown).
