6 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 01/23/2012

The air bag light in my 2005 Nissan Altima comes on when the car is started and blinks while driving. I had the car repaired back in 2009. The problem is now happening again, so I had an estimate at the nearest Nissan dealership. In order to be repaired they said, I would have to show there had been a previous work order in arrange for the repair to be covered under warranty? I called the other Nissan dealership where the repair happened and apparently, there is no paper trail the work order actually occurred? the copy of my paperwork shows there was a report and a custom part ordered, but no actual receipt showing this happened. I called the parts department that shows a custom part was ordered, however, it was never returned and it is no longer in the parts department. . So, no one knows seems to know about this mysterious missing part or what happened to the part? I know what happened to the part, it was installed in my car. . So, now I am told a sensor under the passenger seat is bad and needs to be repaired, which is under the passenger seat. It will cost me $1500 to repair. This is the second time this has occurred. I should not have to pay anything. What is more interesting is to find there are other car owners suffering from the same situation. Therefore this is not just my car. . . But a manufacture defect that should be covered under warranty!!!!!! car owner in CA, san bernardino county frustrated.

9 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 12/28/2006

I have had nothing but problems from my 2005 Altima that I purchased new in sept 05. The first week I owned the vehicle my engine light came on and the vehicle was very sluggish from takeoff, I then called the dealership where I purchased the vehicle and was told that all Nissan are sluggish and need to be driven to get the "newness from the vehicle" what kind of crap is that. About 6 months ago, I noticed that my brakes are squealing and my tires needed to be replaced, I don't even have 20k miles on my vehicle so this is very mysterious to me. Nissan in my opinion does not listen to its customers and claims to be the very best towards their customers on the commercials but in reality they are just another big company making money at the expense of "use to be loyal" customers". Every complaint on this board I can agree with which is sad for I to have experienced the seat belts, sharp bar under the passengers seat, engine and passenger seat air bag light so basically all we have is an expensive good looking non-working pieces of crap. So thank you very much Nissan. Signed - will never ever ever purchase another Nissan in my life.
