What owners are reporting 2 most recent
The passenger side air bag light stayed on and I took it to the dealer. They said the seat cushion had to be replaced because it was the air bag sensor that was faulty. It cost me over $2100 dollars out of pocket. That was after Nissan corp. Agreed to pay $500 towards the cost. I might add that the passenger seat was still in like new condition.
When driving the seatbelt airbag light is flashing, want go off, even if just sitting still with the car crank, the airbag light is flashing.
