2007 Nissan Murano

PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR. This is blinking on my dash. I looked it up in the manual. It stated that the airbag may not deploy in an accident. I also got a recall notice for this same problem and called the dealer. They said that my vin was not included in the recall even though I had the same make, model and year and the same problem. I had a problem with this when the vehicle was new, they fixed it. They wanted two hundred dollars to look at it. Why is this safety problem in my vehicle not included?

I purchased a 2007 Nissan Murano the end of June. The first time I drove it on a wet road I almost lost control, and I was driving well BELOW the speed limit. The next week I got different tires put on and took it for an alignment. The first independent service center I took it to showed me where the rear subframe on BOTH the driver and passenger were completely rusted through, and they told me I should drive the vehicle as little as possible until I got it fixed. I took it to a second independent service center to see if it could be fixed without having to be completely replaced, they told me they could not, nor could an aligment be done and that I should stop driving it immediately. I had only had the car for a month and a half before I had to park it. This is a MAJOR issue that needs to be addressed by Nissan!! I don't have the money to have the car fixed, nor can I sell it. So I'm making payments on a car that is doing nothing but collecting dust and taking up space. Unfortunately I am learning that this is a major issue with this vehicle. Nissan needs to fix it before people are killed, not just people driving the vehicle, but other motorists, and possible pedestrians. The airbag light is also on and I haven't been in an accident, nor has there been any work done to it since I bought it.

OUR SON WAS LEAVING LONG POND, HARWICH MA RECREATIONAL PARKING LOT AT A REGULAR DRIVING SPEED, THERE ARE POT HOLES IN THE PARKING LOT THERE BUT HE DID NOT GO OVER THEM ANY FASTER OR SLOWER THAN NORMAL. THE AIR BAGS WENT OFF A FEW SECONDS AFTER GOING THROUGH ONE OF THE POT HOLES BUT HE DID NOT GO THROUGH THE POT HOLE ANY FASTER OR SLOWER THAN HE HAS BEEN THROUGH THE PARKING LOT BEFORE.
