MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON MY DASH AND I WENT TO NEW CITY NISSAN TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM WAS THE SUBJECT OF A MASSIVE RECALL THAT BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 4, 2008 THAT INCLUDED THE NISSAN 350Z'S MADE IN 2007-2008 UNDER THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V521000. THE DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO REPLACE THE SEAT ASSEMBLY FOR $2630 PLUS TAX. I INSTEAD CALLED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA WITH MY PROBLEM, CASE NUMBER 14605979 THAT WAS HANDLED BY PAUL SMITH. I WAS TOLD THAT MY AUTOMOBILE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND THAT ANY COST TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE OUT OF MY POCKET. I DID NOT PURCHASE THE CAR UNTIL SEP. 2009 AND WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF ANY RECALL BY THE DEALERSHIP AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. AT THE PRESENT, MY CAR CANNOT PASS A SAFETY INSPECTION AND THE OUTRAGEOUS COST OF REPAIR FOR A PROBLEM ALREADY IDENTIFIED BY THE AUTO MAKER IS PROHIBITIVE ON MY RETIREMENT INCOME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT WILL NOT GO AWAY. *TR

I HAD THIS CAR FOR 4 DAYS A 2007 NISSAN 350Z TOURING EDITION. DRIVING TO WORK ON THE MORNING OF SEPT, 1ST 2007 THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG (FROM HEADLINER, AND SIDE OF SEAT.) EXPLODE. I TAKE IT TO GWINNETT PLACE NISSAN AND THEY SAID THEY'LL HAVE NNA COME OUT AND LOOK FOR IT, THEY GIVE US A RENTAL, TAKES THEM A WEEK FOR SOMEONE TO LOOK UNDER THERE AND TELL ME A ROCK FLEW UNDER MY UNDERCARRIAGE AND HIT THE AIRBAG MODULE SENSOR AND MADE BOTH SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOY. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. AND THEY MADE US PAY $250 FOR THE CAR RENTAL. WHY WOULD NISSAN DESIGN A CAR THIS WAY? *TR
