THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT JUST APPEARED ON ONE DAY. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY TYPE OF MAJOR ACCIDENT. HAD CONCERN AND HAD IT CHECKED OUT FOR SOME UNREAL AMOUNT TO REPAIR OF WHICH I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE REPAIRED. MY CONCERN IS WITH THE RECALL ON THESE AIRBAGS ON THE NISSAN, I'M REALLY CONCERNED THAT ONE DAY IT WILL JUST INFLATE AND CAUSE INJURY TO ME WHILE DRIVING. IS THERE A RECALL ON AIR BAGS ON THIS VEHICLE I SAW ON THE NEWS TODAY (7/12/17) THERE IS A RECALL ON ADDITIONAL NISSAN VEHICLES. AM I ABLE TO TAKE VEHICLE IN AND HAVE THIS REPAIRED AT NO CHARGE? PLEASE ADVISE ASAP.

STARTED THE ENGINE ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO BEFORE PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND REMAINED ON EVER SINCE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED. INITIALLY THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE AIRBAG SO THEY RESET THE LIGHT AND CHARGED A $75.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE. BUT AS SOON AS THE TECHNICIAN RETURNED WITH THE VEHICLE THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. HE TOOK IT BACK TO THE REPAIR AREA AND AFTER 2 HOURS HE CAME BACK AND SAID THE AIRBAG COMPUTER IS MALFUNCTIONING AND IS NOT ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THE VEHICLE. HE STATED THAT IT WOULD COST $1500.00 TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG COMPUTER WHICH MY WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE A CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY AS AIR BAGS ARE IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURES WHICH SHOULD NOT JUST RANDOMLY MALFUNCTION ESPECIALLY SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS WHATSOEVER. I ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG AND HE SAID NO, I ALSO ASKED IF THIS IS RECURRENT PROBLEM FOR OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND HE RESPONDED THAT HE DOES SEE THIS PROBLEM QUITE OFTEN WITH THE SAME VEHICLE.
