NHTSA Complaint #10863293 — 2009 NISSAN MURANO

TAKATA RECALL .... MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR ABOUT 3 YRS. NOW AND WHEN IT HAS BEEN HOOKED UP TO A COMPUTER RESULTS ALWAYS COME BACK THE SAME... ERROR IN AIRBAG. NOW I'VE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT EVEN THOUGH I MAY HAVE A TAKATA AIRBAG MY VIN # IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST SO THEREFORE THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF MY OWN POCKET TO HAVE IT FIXED. NOW THEY DID TELL ME THAT ACCORDING TO THEIR RECORDS AND WITH THE VIN # THAT WAS GIVEN TO THEM IN OCT 2008 MY MURANO ALREADY HAD BEEN SERVICED FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYING ON. SO BASICALLY WHAT THEY WERE SAYING WAS THAT MY MURANO HAD ALREADY USED THE ONE FREE SERVICE CHECK IN OCT 2008 FOR AIRBAG. FIRST OF ALL, MY VEHICLE IS AN 09, SO NISSAN ALREADY ADMITTED THAT ACCORDING TO THEIR RECORDS AND MY VIN # THAT I WAS ALREADY HAVING AIRBAG ISSUES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS RELEASED TO BE SOLD. I PURCHASED IT AT BEGINNING OF 2012 AND 2013 IS WHEN MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. NOW I HAVE HAD IT CLEARED AND SEEMS LIKE IF IT IS COLD CAUSE I DO LIVE IN OHIO, BUT IF I CLEAR IT TODAY AND IT'S NOT REALLY COLD IT MAY NOT COME ON, BUT AS SOON AS IT GETS COLD IT COMES RIGHT BACK ON. NOW THERE HAS BEEN TIMES WHERE IT HAS BEEN CLEARED AND AS SOON AS YOU TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND START IT BACK UP IT COMES RIGHT BACK ON. I ALSO AM HAVING ISSUES WITH TPMS, NO MATTER WHAT TIRES I BUY I AM CONSTANTLY BATTLING THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT. IT'S BEEN TAKING TO TIRE SHOPS AND BEEN CHECKED FOR SLOW LEAKS AND LEAKS AROUND THE VALVE STEM, NOTHING. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTORS IN MT STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE BOTH OF THOSE WENT OUT ON ME. NOW MY NEW ISSUE IS MY AIR VENTS. WHEN THE DEFROST IS ON CERTAIN AIR VENTS DO NOT SHUT OFF, AIR STILL COMES THROUGH THEM. AND IN THE WINTER I FEEL LIKE THERE IS COLD AIR BLOWING UP THROUGH THE FLOOR. NO ISSUES WITH 04 MURANO
