DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG ALERT BLINKING. NISSAN CLAIMS NO RECALL AND STATES THAT THEY MUST REPLACE THE AIR BAG IN ORDER TO RUN DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. MY CAR IS IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER SO MY QUESTION TO YOU IS; WHAT CONSTITUTES A MANDATORY RECALL? MUST CONSUMERS WAIT UNTIL THERE ARE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF INCIDENTS BEFORE IT IS DETERMINED A FAULTY PART? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STRUCTURE:BODY
I PURCHASE USED CAR FROM 2012 I NEVER EXPECT TO HAVE ANY CAR PROBLEM FOR AT LEAST 4 YRS, BUT THAT WAS NOT MY CASE IN 5 MONTH OF HAVING THE CAR IT STARTED TO GIVE ME PROBLEMS. THE FIST PROBLEM IS THAT I HAD A LEAKING THAT WAS COMING FROM THE SUN ROOF AND THE TOP LIGHT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE WAY IS MADE IT HAD TO DRAIN TUBE AND THEY GET CLOG. I WAS ALSO TOLD NOT TO PARK MY CAR UNDER TREE. UH THAT'S IS KIND OF HARD THERE'S A LOT TREES IN THE COUNTRY. I HAD TO CHANGE THE BATTERY IN ABOUT 3 MONTHS. THE CAR WHEN I TURN IT OFF THE MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING. FEW DAY AFTER THE MY CAR WOULD NOT START NOT EVEN MANUALLY. I TOLD THAT THE IGNITION WAS NOT WORKING AND THE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM LOCK THEREFORE I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN THE CAR ON. I ALSO SAW THAT THE METAL THAT IS UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL WAS RUSTY FROM THE LEAK. I RESEARCH THE RECALLS, BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY ON THIS YEAR. HOWEVER I FOUND THE PREVIOUS YEAR HAD A RECALL AND WAS THE SAME ISSUES I'M HAVING. *TR

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG HAS TURNED OFF AND AIR BAG LIGHT IS FLASHING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. LANCASTER NISSAN SAYS IT WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH. THE DEALER SAYS THE SENSORS IN THE SEAT AND/OR THE SEAT IS BENT AND WON'T BOLT TO THE FLOOR OF MY CAR. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SEAT TWICE. THE NEW SEAT DIDN'T SOLVE ANYTHING -- THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS STILL FLASHING ON MY DASH TO THIS DAY. NISSAN SAID THAT I NEEDED A $675.00 COMPUTER CHIP BUT COULD NOT SAY WITH CERTAINTY THAT THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME, LANCASTER NISSAN STATED THAT "NISSAN WAS DONE WITH ME." THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO FIX. THEY HAVE FAILED TO STAY BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT -- I DO NOT HAVE PASSENGERS RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND I CANNOT RE-SELL THE CAR IN THIS CONDITION. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MECHANIC AND I FOUND A RECALL ON MY MAKE AND MODEL CAR. NISSAN DENIED THE RECALL THREE TIMES SAYING MY MODEL IS NOT AFFECTED. I DISAGREE AND THINK MY CAR SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS IT SHOWS EXACT SYMPTOMS AS RECALL. ITS VERY POSSIBLE THAT MAYBE MY MAKE AND MODEL IS JUST STARTING TO BE AFFECTED. VEHICLE ENGINE STOPS RUNNING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, CAUSING AN UNSAFE CONDITION, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. I LOSE BRAKES AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT TWICE WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. *TR
