TAKATA RECALL MY AIR BAG LIGHTS CONTINUE TO BLINK AND DO NOT GO OFF BROUGHT IN TO DEALER TO GET IT CHECK. THE DEALER STATES ITS NOT THE SENSOR ITS ITS A CIRCUIT SPIRAL CABLE DECLINE. NISSAN REFUSES TO PUT MY VEHICLE IN THE CALL BACK. I THINK ITS PART OF THE TAKATA AIR BAG DESIGN AND SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE CALL BACK.

"TAKATA RECALL" OUT OF THE CLEAR BLUE I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 PATHFINDER AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY THAT DAY AND IT PASSED PER SERVICE MANAGER LOUIS CASTILLO AT BAKER JACKSON NISSAN IN HOUSTON TEXAS, 2 DAYS LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND ONCE AGAIN I WENT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SENSORS AND OTHER PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED THE COST IS $1500. I CALLED NISSAN CORP AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO TAKING RESPONSIBILITY EVEN THOUGH THEY STATED ALL 2007 PATHFINDERS IN OTHER STATES WOULD BE GIVEN A 10 YEAR WARRANTY. MY TRUCK WAS ALSO AFFECTED WITH THE RADIATOR FLULID MIXING WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, DURING THE YEARS OF 2010-2012 I CONSTANTLY TOOK MY TRUCK TO BAKER JACKSON NISSAN AND THE SERVICE MANAGER THEN LARRY JUST TOPPED OFF MY TRUCK HIMSELF AND NEVER MADE A RECORD OF IT. HE KEPT ASSURING ME THAT HE WAS SAVING ME MONEY. MY TRANSMISSION FAILED BUT BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE IN 2012 NISSAN WAS ABLE TO DENY FIXING MY TRANSMISSION VIA THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. I ENDED UP SPENDING $4800 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. IN 2010 NISSAN CONVINCED ME TO REPLACE MY TRAIN FOR $1600, I NEVER KNEW IT WAS A RECALL UNTIL TODAY. ANOTHER CAVEAT TO THIS MESS IS THAT BAKER JACKSON CHANGED THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEM AND HAS NO RECORD OF ME REPLACING MY TRAIN. I HAVE A BANK STATEMENT TO PROVE IT IF NECESSARY.

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE M1 DOING 70 MPH WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE IMPACT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND EXPLODED FOR NO REASON. LUCKILY MY HUSBAND FROZE AND SLOWLY MOVED OVER TO THE SLOW LANE. THE VEHICLE WAS RECOVERED AND TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WERE THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND WHY IT HAD GONE OFF. SO THEY CALLED NISSAN FOR ADVICE WHO THEN CAME OUT AND TOOK THE AIR BAG SENSOR SYSTEM OUT TO BE TESTED. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THEY FOUND A SCRATCH AND 2 SMALL DENTS UNDERNEATH OF THE DRIVERS SIDE FOOT RAIL WHICH WERE FRESH AND THAT WE MOST OF DROVE OVER SOMETHING AND THAT COULD HAVE SET THE MOTION SENSOR TO TRIGGER THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY. I EXPLAINED THAT WE HAD NEVER DROVE OVER ANYTHING OR KNOWN TO HAVE HAD ANY DAMAGE DONE TO THE UNDERNEATH OF THE VEHICLE. THEY REPLIED THAT THE MOTION SENSORS MOST HAVE FELT THAT THE CAR MIGHT HAVE OVER TURNED THEREFORE ACTIVATING THE OPPOSITE SIDE AIR BAGS. AFTER SEEING THE INDENTATION FOR MYSELF I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE VEHICLES WHEELS WOULD HAVE NOT LIFTED OFF THE ROAD SO HOW CAN THE SENSORS THINK THAT IT WAS GOING TO TURN OVER. TWO DAYS LATER I RECEIVED A CALL EXPLAINING THAT NISSAN WAS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DAMAGE AND THAT IT WAS NOT GOING TO BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY, BUT THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR SYSTEM WITH A BRAND NEW ONE. WHY WOULD THEY REPLACE IT IF THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE OLD ONE? I ASKED THEM WHAT WOULD NEED REPLACING THEY SAID A NEW SEAT, AIR BAGS AND ROOF LINER AND THAT IT WOULD COST THOUSANDS. NORMALLY I WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME OF DAY WITH MY 2 CHILDREN SAT THERE AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SLEEP SINCE IT HAPPENED DUE TO THINKING WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED, AS IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A FATALITY.
