Description of the problem | A) at 9+ miles shifter mechanism not recognizing i was in drive mode or started with i-key error, graduated to obd code p0850 over the next few miles. I was told the fob needed to be programmed. Cruise control not working, turned out the shifter mechanism was at fault - does not recognize vehicle is in drive more or parked or neutral. B) passenger side air bag indicator not working noticed at approx. 120 miles. Was instructed the seat needed calibration. Seat calibrated. C) told the airbag: was told the issue was possibly the weight of the passenger, how the passenger sat in the seat etc. Later told the dtc code needed to be cleared. 3 hrs later was told the air bag control module needs to be replaced. D) passenger side airbag still not working at approx. 2500 miles. Intermittent after the airbag control module is replaced. E) airbag control module replaced - airbag indicator still not working correctly, nissan consumer affairs told me the car is not going to be recalled. I should get the vehicle fixed at a dealer. Still nissan does not think there is any major issue with the vehicle and it is not a lemon and should not be replaced. F) read all documents related to the recall notice on nhtsa's website. None of the documents mention the passenger side seat belt indicator (audio or visual indicator). Issue is when the passenger occupancy module fails, i believe the seat belt indicator is also not working correctly either. I wrote to nissan consumer affairs they do not seem to care, nhtsa [xxx] instructed me to file a complaint. I just want nissan to acknowledge and fix the seat belt issue along with the airbag so consumers are safe. I am not sure if the shifter is related or not but it is odd several electronic components failed. Dealer wants to replace all sensors, i do not think it will fix it. Nissan insists my vehicle is not involved in any campaign. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
