Five problems related to air bag have been reported for the 1996 Nissan Nissan Truck. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
We purchased a truck at curry's used cars. The truck had been wrecked, it was repaired at curry's paint and body shop. Then the owner sam curry had it for sale. We purchased it. Later we found out that he did not replace the airbag that had deployed. It has a dummy airbag in the vehicle. I know that this is a federal offense. Since I found this out know that other vehicles were repaired at this body shop and airbags replaced with dummy bags.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
Components busted inside of steering wheel where airbag is located and sounds metalic fear the steering may fail or cause airbag to deploy while driving. I emailed Nissan corp of this matter and no responce as of yet.
