Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2006 Nissan Xterra

The airbag deactivator sensor, located inside the passenger side seat of our Nissan Xterra leaked the fluid inside the car. Our first indication of a problem was a burning feeling in the throat, nose and eyes. The coins in the car turned green. We discovered the leak and removed the seat from the car. The local dealership did not know what was in the fluid filled sensor and made no attempt to find out. Our insurance company has been trying for 2 weeks to get an answer from Nissan on this product with no results. The repair shop has never seen this issue and has not been able to find out what is in the sensor bag. The inside of the car has corroded, rusting all metal inside the car. This damage is continuing since the seat was removed destroying all metal inside the car. The car has been deemed a write off by the insurance company. Everyone with exposure to this fluid that created a gas in the car, has had an ongoing throat burning and headaches. We have a contact person at Nissan America but they have not contacted us with any information on the product.

Nissan is not willing to honor the recall on air bag crash sensor. I live in nevada they say that road salt is not used in this state yet I work for the dept. Of transportations and personally ordered over 1000 tons of salt to be applied to the roads in my section alone this year. I have called them and they will not reconsider.
