AIR BAGS
THE AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT HAS REPLACED THE LEFT FRONT SEAT BELT(DRIVER) TONGUE ASSEMBLY, AS A WAY OF CORRECTING THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT. THIS WAS DONE ON 5-31-02. THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON, THAT SAME DAY, BEFORE I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY THEN RESET THE COMPUTER. ON 8-9-02, I RETURNED TO DELARSHIP AGAIN, THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT CAME BACK ON, 8-2-02. THE SERVICE DEPT ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT PROBLEM AGAIN BY: R&R PILLAR COVER TRIM TO CHECK SEATBELT PRETENSIONER. THEY FOUND HARNESS WAS IN A BIND & WAS TAPED SHORT FRM THE FACTORY. CUT AWAY TAPE & PULLED SOME SLACK IN WIRE. THEN ON 8-14-02, THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP & ADVISED THAT WHEN I BRING CAR IN FOR REGULAR SERVICE ON 8-16-02, THEY NEED TO CORRECT THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT PROBLEM OR I WANT TO GET A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. I ALSO CALLED THE NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPT, MY COMPLAINT# IS 3862334. I WAS ADVISED THEY WILL CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP & ASSIST THEM IN REPAIRING PROBLEM OR IF IT CANT BE REPAIRED, THEN THEY WILL TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE. I RESEARCHED YOUR WEB SITE TODAY & FOUND: PE02-038, NISSAN XTERRA 2002 PROBLEM HAS PREV BEEN REPORTED FOR THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. AT THIS POINT, I AM REQUESTING ASSISTANCE IN OBTAINING A NEW VEHICLE, SINCE IT APPEARS THIS MAY BE A PROBLEM FOR THE 2002 XTERRA'S THAT WERE PREV SOLD. THANK YOU FOR YOU ASSISTANCE.*AK
