AIR BAGS
The Air Bag Clock Spring Spiral Cable failed on 6-29-2022. Nissan replaced the component 6-30-2022 at a cost to me of 852.72. I spoke with several service technicians at this dealership and I quote... yep, this happens all the time with these clock springs. I called Nissan consumer affairs. My case number was 46685014. They said since this is covered under the 5 year 60 K miles that they would not cover the cost. My 2014 truck has 66K. I said to them I felt that this is a safety issue and there should not be a time or mileage limit attached to a safety issue since the airbags will not deploy and that this problem is occurring often, according to Nissan's own service technicians. Also, from one of Nissan's website "How often do Air Bag Clocksprings need replacement? The airbag clock spring is designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle. I feel this should be investigated by your agency.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
FROM A STAND STILL, WHEN ACCELERATING TO ENTER INTO TRAFFIC. DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, THE TRUCK ONLY MOVES INTO TRAFFIC BUT THEN THE TRUCK FAILS TO ACCELERATE. THERE IS A FLAT SPOT. NO ACCELERATION AT TIMES. I HAVE TO "PEDAL" THE ACCELERATOR TO TRY TO GET THE TRUCK TO MOVE. MEANWHILE I AM STUCK WITH TRAFFIC RAPIDLY APPROACHING BECAUSE I CANNOT GET OUT OF THE WAY. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND ALWAYS AT THE WORST TIME LIKE WHEN TRYING TO ENTER ONTO A HIGHWAY. I HAVE HAD NEAR COLLISIONS TWICE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. NISSAN DEALER HAS FOUND NOTHING. THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM WHEN I TAKE IT TO THEM.
