AIR BAG LIGHTS HAVE BEEN FLASHING FOR 3 YEARS WHETHER PARKED OR IN MOTION, DEALERSHIP SAYS $1500 TO DIAGNOSE BUT BELIEVES BAGS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING AND ADVISES TO "DRIVE SAFELY" IF I DECIDE NOT TO REPAIR. NOT ON RECALL LIST WHICH IS UNREAL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUES AS BAGS WILL NOT GO OFF IF IN A COLLISION ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP.

TAKATA RECALL I OWN A 2005 NISSAN 350 Z. THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST 1000 TO FIX IT. I'VE IN FLORIDA (VERY HUMID). WHY HAS MY CAR'S AIRBAGS NOT BEEN RECALLED?

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO. ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO I STARTED TO HAVE A FLASHING AIR BAG LIGHT ON FOR NO REASON. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY USUALLY WHEN I JUST START THE CAR UP. AS WITH MOST OWNERS IN THE NORTH I DON'T DRIVE IT IN THE WINTER SO I PUT ON AROUND 35K SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I SEARCHED THE WEB TO SEE IF ANYONE WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY SURE WERE. I TRIED THE RESET PROCEDURE FOUND ONLINE AND IT WORKED FOR AWHILE. NOW IT COMES ON MORE OFTEN AND I JUST TRY TO RESET IT AGAIN. IT DIDN'T TAKE MUCH SEARCHING TO FIND OUT THAT NISSAN IS CHARGING OWNERS (MY YEAR) $600-3,000 TO REPAIR AND THE PROBLEM CAME BACK FOR SOME AGAIN. SOME EVEN REPORTED HAVING AN ACCIDENT AND THE BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE NOT HAD IT TO A DEALER SIMPLY BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THE SEATS SOME HAVE HAD TO.

THIS CAR HAS BEEN BABIED BY ME AS WELL AS THE PREVIOUS OWNER. IT IS GARAGE KEPT AND HARDLY EVER DRIVEN. MILAGE IS ONLY 52000 AFTER 11 YEARS!! LIGHT HAS BEEN RESET BUT STILL COMES BACK ON. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURED DEFECT AND IF SOMEONE IS HURT BECAUSE OF NO ACTION I WILL SUE NISSAN AS WELL AS NHTSA FOR NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!!

MY CAR HASN'T BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING AND YET MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING AND MY AIRBAGS ARE DISCONNECTED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY AIRBAGS WON'T BE FIXED BY NISSAN I'M NOT SURE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. AND I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE MILES. NISSAN WILL HAVE THIS.
