Air Bag Light! make this a recall? Who wants in?!
Air Bag Light! make this a recall? Who wants in?!
I know some might think this is stupid but I have an airbag light that i reset and reset and reset. I get it for the passenger side airbag like everyone else but thats not where the problem is. Of course we can all take out the bulb, ignore it or tape it but what if you actually have a fault in your air bag system you'd never know because we're too busy ignoring. I drive my family around it is really starting to get to me. Not safe
I think that since it is an AIR BAG SYSTEM issue they should FIX IT free of charge ALWAYS instead of screwing us over for a $500+ module etc repair when they know that there is a problem that was made in their design. I've heard of some dealers who do this for free and others will not do this. My proposal:
Everyone who wants this to be a recall goes and complains to Nissan and to NHTSA(national Highway traffic safety admin-government) until they fix it.
Nissan - 1(800)-NISSAN1

in order for something to be a recall it must be a safety issue.
a failed module issue is not a safety issue. no harm is caused by the failure, the lack of repairing the failure can cause harm. in theory if the light is on, the system is deactivated thereby rendering it safe.
if the failed module were to cause the airbag to go off for no reason then you have a recallable problem.
