Air bag started flashing and has not stopped. I noticed there are several complaints regarding the airbags in this type of vehicle and I am waiting to see that this is investigated and help with a recall due to the cost of attempting to fix this when it could well be a factory defect. I also had to repair the transmission a year and a half ago when while on the freeway started having issues ending in the Nissan dealer in utah short of $3500 later after they determined it has to be replaced because of a malfunction due to a cooling system problem, which needed a cooling device of some sort in order to prevent it from overheating, which is exactly what happened to my car.

While in heavy traffic on a bay area bridge, the car lost acceleration, started to slow down, even while I pumped the gas pedal all the way to the floor. Had it towed to dealer, they said it had to do with cooling fan. After that repair, the same problem happened several more times, always while on the highway, but I found if I kept pumping the gas pedal all the way to the floor it would eventually start to slowly accelerate. After a near-accident on the freeway due to this problem as I drove through san jose, I took the car back in and they replaced the transmission. 2 days later the heat shield fell off while I was driving. 5 days after that, while on the highway traveling at 40mph, the car again lost power, slowly decelerating, despite pumping the gas pedal to the floor. After several attempts to pump the gas it finally started to accelerate again, so I did not pull off the highway.
