2007 NISSAN FRONTIER Air Bags Problems

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Frontier. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: NHTSA Campaign Number: 23E012000 (Air Bags) and would like to be removed from the recall distribution list. The local dealer and manufacturer were contacted.

Two weeks ago I received a recall for an airbag emblem issue for my vehicle. I set an appointment and in the time leading up to my appointment the airbag warning sensor came on. When I went in for the recall they repaired the recall but the warning light did not go off. They stated that there are two issues with my airbag the emblem was not the cause of the sensor going off. They claim it is the airbag module. They would not cover that repair even though the emblem led to the airbag module going bad. This is the second airbag recall on airbags( previous was in 2008). The cost for an airbag module is over $1000 and I find that unacceptable.

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. The contact later received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21E012000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was unknown. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Car accident put at risk to not be safe and defend myself with no air bag malfunction body suspension up to 4 car incident in major intersection. No warning lamps that appeared.

Symptoms began as random hard shifts, then progressed to a sudden loss of power and high rpms. If the vehicle was turned off and on, the transmission would engage and you could drive a couple hundred feet before it began slipping again. I used this tactic of turning it off and on again to get the vehicle off of the highway. Vehicle has not been sent to shop as of yet. Taking a turn, my Nissan Frontier 2007 suddenly stops right in the middle of the street causing traffic jam, I was lucky enough not to be t-boned with my kids seating on the back. Nissan knew about is but never advised costumers about it to open a recall campaign. Need help with this. Truck was bought brand new at the dealer.

On my 2007 Nissan Frontier my air bag light has come on and my Regular Repair shop has brought to my attention about the air bag sensor recall. The dealership in my area states that my vehicle does not fall under this recall but I am truly afraid of my husband or myself getting hurt if this is not fixed. We are in our 80"s and can not afford to have this issue fixed and feel as we should not have to fix this problem when there are so m any of these recalls out there. Please Help

THE ENGINE HAS BURNING OIL FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW AND THE SAFETY BAG LIGHT FLASHING FOR 3 MONTHS.

THE AIRBAG SENSOR BEGAN FLASHING WHEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND THE ERROR CODE IS FOR THE PASSENGER SEATBELT. THE NON-DEALER MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO REPAIR AND THE AIRBAGS ARE DEACTIVATED. THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE FAILED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. THE ECM IS NOT AVAILABLE FROM NISSAN OR AFTER MARKET FOR THIS 10 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THE ECM CANNOT BE REBUILT. THUS, THIS LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE IN OTHERWISE EXCELLENT CONDITION IS NOW JUNK. NISSAN HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE EXPECTED VEHICLE RELIABILITY AND CONSUMER PROTECTIONS. APPARENTLY, NISSAN CEASED MANUFACTURE (INCLUDING AFTER MARKET) OF THIS CRITICAL ENGINE COMPONENT SOON AFTER INITIAL SALE WITHOUT MAKING ANY PROVISIONS FOR REPLACEMENT UPON FAILURE. I AM TOLD THAT THIS IS A STANDARD BUSINESS PRACTICE FOR NISSAN.
