2011 Nissan Rogue

I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. SEVERAL DAYS AGO MY AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. MIDDLETOWN NISSAN SAID THIS VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF A RECALL. I WAS ALSO TOLD THERE WERE NOT ANY NISSAN AIRBAG RECALLS. ACCORDING TO WHAT IRESEARCHED, THIS IS NOT TRUE. MY CONCERNS ARE MY SAFETY AND THE IDEA OF PAYING FOR A REPAIR THAT MAY BE PART OF A RECALL PLEASE ADVISE ME. THIS IS THE SIXTH NISSAN VEHICLE I HAVE DRIVEN:A VERY LOYAL CUSTOMER

ON MY WAY TO WORK A LITTLE OVER A MONTH AGO, MY AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IT WAS FLASHING BECAUSE MY WORK BAG WAS ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. I LATER TOOK THE BAG OFF AND PLACED IT ON THE FLOOR TO SEE IF IT WOULD GO AWAY BUT IT DID NOT. I ALSO HAD SOMEONE CHECK THE WIRE CONNECTIONS UNDER BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WIRES WERE NOT LOOSE AND THEY ARE NOT. AT THIS POINT I AM NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO BECAUSE I CONTACTED NISSAN AND I'M NOT MAKING ANY PROGRESS. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CONSTANTLY FLASHES WHETHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

I'VE NOTICED THAT EVEN AN ADULT PASSANGER IS SEATED ON THE FRONT PASSANGER SEAT, A YELLOW AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE CENTER CONSOLE, AND AT THE VERY SAME TIME, A RED WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH COMES ON,AND REMAINS ON. TOOK CAR TO UNIVERSAL CITY NISSAN, BUT THEY DID NOT SERVICE IT. THEY DID INDICATE THAT THE SENSOR IS FAULTY AND DOES NEED REPAIR. AND ESTIMATE$1200 TO REPAIR. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND, IT SEEMS A SAFTY MATTER, AND I BELIEVE IT SHOUL BE COVERED BY MY WARRANTY. PLEASE HELP ME FIND OUT WHY I HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND WORRIED IF THIS SAFETY DEVICE WILL NOT CAUSE INJURY, OR AND ACCIDENT,OR ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT. THE LIGHTS WERE RESET BY NISSAN, BUT AS I DROVE A BLOCK, THE LIGHT ACTIVATED WITH AN ADULT IN THE SEAT. I WANT NISSAN TO PUT IT IN WRITEING, IF THEY CAN REASURE ME THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFTY ISSUE. AND ASSURE ME THAT THERE IS NO DANGER OF AIRDAGS BEING DEFECTIVE. IF THERE IS A WARNING LIGHT, THEN THERE EXISTS A PROBLEM.

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND STAYED ON--WITHOUT ANYONE OR THING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. DEALER SAYS THAT MUST MEAN THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED. CONTACTED NISSAN--THEY SAY IT WILL COST $2100 TO FIX. THEY WANT US TO PAY $700 OF THAT--SINCE THE CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD. IT HAS 83,000 MILES ON IT. SINCE AIRBAGS ARE A FEDERALLY MANDATED SAFETY FEATURE, I WOULD THINK THAT NISSAN SHOULD PAY ALL OF THE COST OF THIS FIX.
