TAKATA RECALL. ON NOVEMBER , 12 2016, I TOOK MY 2010 NISSIAN ALTIMA INTO GRIFFIN NISSIAN'S DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY VEHICLE LOOKED AT DUE TO AN AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON THE DAY PRIOR, WHILE IN MOTION. IT'S STILL ON PARKED ALSO. IT NEVER GOES OFF. AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE IN A SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED ME AND STATED THAT THE PROBLEM IS A SENSOR INSIDE THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS GONE BAD AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED WAS THAT COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURE AND HE ADVISED ME THAT HE WASN'T SURE. HE ADVISED IT WOULD BE AN ESTIMATED COST OF AROUND $600.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR THE SENSOR. I THEN RESEARCH THE ISSUE ABOUT THE SENSOR, AND MY RESEARCH SHOWED THAT SEVERAL VEHICLES HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I CONTACTED NISSIAN MANUFACTURE. AND I EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM MY CAR HAD AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT SOMEONE WOULD VIEW THE CASE AND CONTACT ME BACK. THE NEXT DAY SOMEONE FROM NISSIAN MANUFACTURE CONTACTED ME AND ADVISED I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THE AIRBAG ISSUE AT MY OWN EXPENSE. I STATED TO THEM THAT THIS ISN'T A PART THAT HAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND SHOULD BE BACKED BY THE MANUFACTURE AND I EXPRESS HOW THAT SENSOR NOT WORKING CORRECTLY COULD CAUSE MY FAMILY AND I HARM IF WE WERE TO GET INTO A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS FAIL TO DEPLOY. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE FROM GRIFFEN NISSIAN ON 10-15-2014, THE CAR WAS USED, AND HOWEVER I TAKE MY VEHICLE TO GRIFFEN NISSIAN EVERY TIME ITS NEED TO BE SERVICE AND TO HAVE ROUTINE OIL CHANGES.
