NHTSA Complaint #10724361 — 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON EVEN AFTER CLEARING SOLUSPRO SCANNER CODE, "B1049 DRIVER AIR BAG MODULE (OPEN)". I AM CONCERNED MY DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG WILL SPONTANEOUSLY RELEASE OR NOT RELEASE AT ALL WHEN NEEDED. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THE DRIVER, ALL PASSENGERS ARE AT RISK OF FATAL INJURY. I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, AND WAS TOLD THE DIAGNOSTIC HAD TO BE RUN BY A DEALER MECHANIC BEFORE THEY CAN DO ANYTHING. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NO CAMPAIGN CURRENTLY OPEN FOR MY ISSUES. THE BODY ISSUE HAS TO DO WITH POOR PAINT OR CLEAR COAT QUALITY COMMON TO NISSAN VEHICLES. WHILE THE REST OF MY CAR LOOKS FINE, THE HOOD AND THE ROOF LOOK HORRIBLE. LIKE SOMEONE TOOK SANDING PAPER TO THE CLEAR COAT AND THE COLOR IS FADED AND GETTING WORSE AS TIME PASSES. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN NISSAN FOR THIS COSMETIC DETAIL. I TRADED IN MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA BECAUSE THE ROOF LINER SAGGED AS SOON AS I BEGAN DRIVING WITH THE SUNROOF OPEN. I HOPE THAT THE RESULTS OF THE AIR BAG ISSUE ARE AS MINOR AS THE COSMETIC ISSUES, OTHERWISE NISSAN IS GOING TO HAVE SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS ON THERE HANDS.
