AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
WHEN I TRIED TO START THE CAR AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON. CAR WAS NOT IN ANY ACCIDENT. DEALER REPLACED AIR BAGS:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE. SINCE IT HAPPENED WITHOUT ANY REASON, I CONCLUDE THAT AIR BAG SYSTEM SUPPLIED WITH NISSAN QUEST IS UNSAFE AND WILL NOT HELP DURING ACCIDENT. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER FAULT, I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR PRICE ($800). *JB
