AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING. I HAVE A 2013 ROGUE ONLY 47K MILES. TOOK TO DEALER, AFTER 150.00 TO DIAGONOSE . THEY SAID THEY FOUND CODE STORED FOR PAST AIRBAG..PAST??? AND THEY HAVE A PROCEDURE. THEY RESET IT BUT IT CAME BACK ON. NEXT...THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO CHANGE THE SPIRAL CABLE- PART ALONE IS 682.00 AND IF THAT DOESNT DO IT, THEN THEY HAVE TO GO TO THE CONTROL BOARD AND THATS 1020.00 FOR PART... THEY ARE THE DEALER....BESIDES BEING A SAFETY ISSUE, HOW CAN THEY NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THE PROBLEM IS?? I CALLED NISSAN TO PUT IN A CLAIM. THEY ARE WILLING TO TAKE SOME MONEY OFF THE SPIRAL CABLE, BUT WHY AM I PAYING FOR THAT IF THEY AREN'T EVEN SURE THAT IS THE PROBLEM!!! THERE ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS...HOW CAN WE GET THIS DONE?

I JUST TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR IT'S NORMAL MAINTENANCE (OIL CHANGE/FILTERS, ETC.) TODAY - 7/12/19. ALL IS IN GOOD CONDITION, EXCEPT I ASKED NISSAN TO LOOK AT THE FLASHING AIRBAG LIGHT THAT STARTED ABOUT A WEEK AGO FOR NO APPARENT REASON (O/A 7/5/19). THEY TOLD ME THAT MY FRONT AIR BAG SENSOR IS NOT WORKING, AND THAT IT IS NOT COVERED AND WOULD COST ME APX $1,020 TO FIX. THIS IS AN APPARENT SAFETY ISSUE, AND I DID NOTHING TO MY VEHICLE FOR THIS KIND OF THING TO STOP WORKING. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND AM VERY RELIANT ON MY CAR TO GET TO AND FROM WORK, ETC. I BELIEVE, DUE TO THE SAFETY ASPECT ALONE, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL NOTICE AND FIXED. IF YOU COULD PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS, IT WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.
