1 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 06/08/2017

Ref recall 08v690000. Why would our truck not be part of this recall?. We live in an area which is surrounded by ocean so salt corrosion is common. I know several others that have similar issue not only Frontiers. I understand the front crash sensor corrosion is common. Please do something about this before someone gets hurt due to airbags or deploying due to this common sensor issue.

2 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 10/31/2012

The local Nissan dealership diagnosed an airbag flashing light on the dash as a faulty seat belt retractor at about 33,000 miles and took corrective action. They insisted that the problem was fixed and said that it is now covered under parts warranty. Over the next 15,000 to 20,000 miles the fixed it two more times as a seat belt retractor, however the last time the light began to blink I took the vehicle and they gave me a new cause of the light. I was then told it was the passenger seat air bag sensor and that it was faulty and that it would cost me 1200 dollars to fix. I know that Nissan has recent problems with air bags and in the past there has been a recall on the east coast concerning Frontier airbags. I would guess that Nissan corp. Has larger issue with air bags and has been covering their tracks for years. I know I can't afford the $1200 repair bill to fix the problem and that now I am reluctant to have a passenger in the seat. I doubt that your agency will have a remedy for this problem, as I have little faith in an agency of government taking on a corporation as large as Nissan.
