I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT I HAVE AN EXTENTED WARRANTY THAT CLEARLY STATES THAT AIRBAG SENSORS ARE NOT COVERED, HOWEVER, THE DIANOSTICS INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS AN AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT. WHICH DIDN'T STATE THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE DEALER AND THE NISSAN COORPORATE OFFICE AND ALTHOUGH I HAVE A CASE NUMBER WHICH IS 3146876 HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY POSITIVE RESULTS JUST THE NORMAL RED TAPE A CONSUMER ENCOUNTERS. IN ANY CASE, I FEEL THIS HAS TO BE A MANUFACTUER DEDECT AS ANY SAFETY DEVICES SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE OR AT LEAST 100,000 MILES. ALSO THE DEALER THAT I PUT ON THIS FORM IS THE SERVICING DEALER. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN SANFORD, NC. PLEASE ASSIST ME WITH THIS MATTER AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVIENCE. THANK YOU KINDLY. *AK
