2005 Nissan 350Z

I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR. DID NO GOOD. NISSAN DOES NOT HONOR THEIR WARRANTIES OR PROMISES. WHEN MY AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING ON AND OFF CONTINUOUSLY I WANTED TO KNOW WHY. I KNEW THEIR HAD TO BE A DEFECT OR MALFUNCTION SOME WHERE. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL FOR ABOUT 2,000.MY WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE SENSOR OR WHAT EVER THEY SCHEMED TO COME UP WITH. MY AIR BAG STILL CONTINUOUSLY FLASHES. I DON'T DRIVE IT MUCH ANY MORE BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A NUISANCE. SHAME ON NISSAN AND THEY HAVE LOST A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE.. I AM CAMPAIGNING AGAINST THEM. I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO GO THRU WHAT I AM STILL GOING THRU. SINCERELY, PISSED OFF *TR

OWNER OF NISSAN 350Z ROADSTER. CAR IS IN MINT CONDITION ONLY HAS 39,000+ MILES AND IS 10 YEARS OLD. NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS OTHER THAN TIRES, BATTERY, BRAKES REPLACEMENT OVER YEARS. ALL OF A SUDDEN AIRBAG LIGHT STARTING FLASHING ON DASH. TOOK TO DEALER THAT DID "DIAGNOSIS" FOR $100+ AND SAID MODULE IN DRIVER SIDE BAG CODE B1134 NEEDS REPLACING FOR $1200.00. DRIVER IS UNEMPLOYED AT MOMENT AND LAID-OFF. DEALERSHIP JUST SAID "DRIVE SAFELY" WHEN LEAVING AND DECIDING NOT TO SHELL OUT $1200 AT MOMENT. NISSAN REFUSES ANY GOODWILL TO FIX CAR EVEN THOUGH THIS IS AN AIRBAG RELATED ISSUE AND POSSIBLE SAFETY HAZARD. SAYS THE CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY (WHICH IS AT 36,000 FOR NISSAN) AND THE CAR HAS NOT HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS THEREFORE IN 10 YEARS AND HAS BEEN A "GOOD RUNNING CAR." NISSAN FEELS IT IS DRIVER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR. OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS CONSTANTLY RECALL AIRBAG DEVICES BUT NOT NISSAN -- 2007 NISSAN ROADSTER 350 HAS HAD A RECALL FOR AN AIRBAG ISSUE. NUMBER FOR 2007:NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V521000 AND THE AIRBAG MODULE PART NUMBER IS 28556CD00. OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE LOOKED UP ANY OTHER OWNERS THAT MAY HAVE HAD PROBLEM AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH OWNERS OF THIS YEAR AND MAKE.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2007 350Z. I JUST FOUND OUT TODAY THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR SINCE NOVEMBER 2008. I FIRST BEGAN TO NOTICE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT BEING OFF OVER THREE (3) YEARS AGO. I HAD MY 100,000 MILE SERVICE AROUND SIX (6) MONTHS AGO. THE SENSOR WAS LISTED AS PROBLEMATIC, BUT NOT IDENTIFIED AS A POTENTIAL RECALL. TODAY, I CALLED THE NISSAN USA NUMBER AND SPOKE WITH [XXX] WHO TOLD ME THAT MY VIN # DID NOT MATCH THE ONES FROM THE RECALL IN NOVEMBER 2008. I INFORMED HER THAT IF A PASSENGER IN MY CAR IS HARMED BECAUSE NISSAN USA WILL NOT LIVE UP TO ITS RESPONSIBILITY TO ITS CUSTOMERS AND COMMUNITY, THERE WILL BE A MAJOR LAWSUIT COMING. I FEEL THAT THE CALLUS POSITION OF THE COMPANY WILL PREVENT ME FROM PURCHASING FROM THEM AGAIN,,,ALTHOUGH I LIKE THEIR CARS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN 350Z. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. UPDATED 12/9/14 *CN UPDATED 8/31/2017*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN 350Z. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ALSO, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE SEAT BELT AND HORN FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR MODULE AND TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

I DIDN'T HAVE AN INCIDENT/ACCIDENT YET, BUT AFTER REVIEWING SIMILAR ISSUES/COMPLAINTS I WANTED TO ADD MY CONCERNS TO THE LIST AS WELL. I BOUGHT A 2005 350Z SEPT. 2013 WITH APPROXIMATELY 48,000 MILES AND NOW MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS BLINKING. CALLED NISSAN SERVICE AND OF COURSE FOR A FEE THEY WILL DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO ME THEY ALREADY KNOW THE PROBLEM AND HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO ADDRESS IT. IF ITS AN ISSUE ON THE 2007 EDITION, IT'S SURELY AN ISSUE WITH ITS PREDECESSORS. *TR

JUST BOUGHT MY 2005 350Z 35 DAYS AGO AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT ALL OF A SUDDEN BEGIN BLINKING ON AN OFF. I AM TAKING IT IN TO THE MECHANIC TO SEE WHAT COULD BE THE CAUSE OF THIS AND HOPEFULLY HE DOES NOT TELL ME THAT I HAVE TO GET THE AIRBAG REPLACED. IT IS VERY ODD TO SEE THE OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS VERY SAME THING BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THEM. *TR

TOOK MY TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AFTER THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING CONTINUOUSLY AND PAID $85 FOR THE TEST WHICH INDICATED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AT THE TIME, THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 40,000 MILES. THE ESTIMATED COST OF THE REPLACEMENT WAS $600. I HAVE NOT REPLACED THE BAG YET BUT HAVE AVOIDED CARRYING PASSENGERS TO MINIMIZE RISK OF INJURY. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALL ITEM WHICH SEEMS HARD TO UNDERSTAND AFTER REVIEWING NUMEROUS POSTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND OTHER PASSENGER SIDE RECALLS. *TT

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

AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON EVERY 4-8 WEEKS FLASHING RED UNTIL THE LIGHT IS RESET. AS OTHERS HAVE STATED, THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THE CAR AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND I FEEL THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. THE NISSAN DEALER WANTS 100 PLUS DOLLARS TO CHECK THE LIGHT EACH TIME AND DO A RESET. EACH TIME THEY TELL ME I NEED TO REPLACE AIRBAG SENSORS OR THE ENTIRE AIRBAG UNIT WITH NO GUARANTY THIS WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I CAN SEE THAT NO AMOUNT OF MONEY WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE AS ALL THREADS AND EVEN IN THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE POINT OUT THE THOUSANDS PEOPLE HAVE SPENT REPLACING SENSORS AND UNITS, STILL RESULTING IN THE AIRBAG SYSTEM FAILURES AND RETURN OF THE AIRBAG LIGHT. I WANT NISSAN TO ADDRESS THIS AS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES. THIS IS A VERY FAST, SMALL CAR. I DON'T WANT TO END UP WITH MAJOR INJURIES OR DEATH DUE TO AIRBAG FAILURE, WHICH AT THIS POINT IS A FACT IF AN ACCIDENT SHOULD OCCUR. SINCE THE DEALERSHIP IS IN THE BUSINESS OF DRAINING ME OF MONEY AND NOT RESOLVING THIS AIRBAG ISSUE I FORMALLY REQUEST ACTION IN REGARDS TO THIS KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
