AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
ONE IN FEBRUARY 2001, I STARTED UP THE CAR. THE AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. IT WAS 30 DAYS BEFORE I COULD GET IT IN TO SLIDELL NISSAN. THE MECHANIC MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE AIR BAG HAD JUST GONE BAD. HE COULD NOT TELL ME SPECIALLY WHY IT FAILED. BUT, HE SAID THAT IT WOULD COST BE $652.00 TO GET IT FIXED. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO USE THE AIRBAG, AND NOW I FIND THAT IF I HAVE A COLLISION, I WILL NOT HAVE AIR BAG PROTECTION AT ALL. I THEN SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND NISSAN IS ON RECORD AS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR OLDER AIR BAGS, 1996 INCLUDED. NISSAN WILL NOT FIX THIS FOR ME FOR FREE. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I ONLY RECEIVED A BRUSH OFF AT NISSAN - I WENT TO AN OUTSIDE MECHANIC TO FIX THIS VEHICLE - I KEPT THE TRANSMISSION CASING. THIS PARTICULAR MECHANIC HAS FIXED AT LEAST 10 1996 SENTRAS - BUT HE SAID THE WEAK CASING WAS ODD IN MY CASE. I BELIEVE IT IS A RESULT OF POOR MANUFACTURING. CONSUMERS DESERVE TO BE SOLD GOOD, SAFE PRODUCTS! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT NISSAN CAN GET AWAY WITH THIS! PLEASE RESPOND WITH ADVICE - I WANT TO HAVE THIS CASING EXAMINED BY EXPERTS BECAUSE I THINK NISSAN PUTS CUSTOMERS OFF AND OTHER CUSTOMERS JUST "LET IT GO" SO NISSAN KEEPS GETTING AWAY WITH POOR MANUFACTURING.*AK
