2008 Nissan Sentra owner complaints

Driver Air bag sensor light came on. The dealership reset it several times but it continues to come on. We paid the money to have them put the car on the diagnostic system. They are saying after review, the airbag needs to be replaced. It costs $1500 to replace the airbag. Which makes zero sense. The car has never been wrecked. Reports have shown issues with airbags in hundreds of thousands of Nissans. The 2008 Nissan Sentra needs to be reviewed for an airbag recall. This is extremely dangerous.

At 50,000 miles, I had a catastrophic engine failure with my 2008 Nissan sentra 2.0. When I pulled into the gas station, my car had no coolant and no oil at all. The oil pressure light did not illuminate and the coolant gauge appeared normal. The dealership cannot tell me why the warning lights did not illuminate when fluids became low. I service my car regularly. My car gave no indication of any problems. Dealership states that there is no evidence of leakage. Nissan is stating that it is due to lack of service - my point is the warning lights did not illuminate at all which resulted in engine failure. If I had been on the highway this could have resulted in significant injury, fire, etc. *tr

Re: rear tire - 2008 Nissan sentra the rear tires on the vehicle have been going flat or blown out more than 6 times over the last 67,000 miles. The front tires on the vehicle have never had this problem. A few times the tires have slowly deflated and I was able to inflate them a few times before having to replace them. However, there have been other times where the tire has blown out very badly on the highway. All these occurrences only happen to the rear tires of the vehicle. Once, I got one of the deflated rear tires repaired and then it blew out on the highway a few months later. Since this is a very time consuming process, I usually get the tire replaced. I have owned cars continuously since 1997 (2 Honda civics) and I have never had any persistent tire problems. Please loo
