Warning Light On problem #1

The front passenger airbag was shut off due to an electrical issue in the front passenger seat. I have attempted to get this fixed for over three months. I am driving around with no airbags in my car as the warning lights for the entire system is on and per the manual this indicates that in the event of a collision no airbags will deploy. The Nissan dealership has advised that the part at the manufacturers warehouse were all defective and that they have to have the part made in japan to be replace. Really!! I have been given the run around on this since day one. I have noticed recalls on other Nissan vehicles for similar issues but not for the Armada. I have paid 35,000+ for a defective vehicle to no avail!!.

Air Bag problem #3

On March 12, 2022 the supplemental air bag warning light came on in my vehicle. Nothing new has happened. When I looked in my manual that came with the vehicle it stated it needed servicing. It is flashing intermittently. If not checked and repaired it may not function properly. I have not received any recall on this issue, however, this appears to be a manufacturer issue.
