This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Armada. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23E012000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The air bag warning light was illuminated. The failure mileage was unknown. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
Airbag light randomly began flashing. Code pulled as B1035 crash zone sensor. This vehicle has never been in any type of accident. Upon researching vehicle and code it shows the same year and makes of vehicles having exact symptoms as well as code of B1035. Even on the NHTSA website regarding this recall- it does show a picture on the pdf file of a Nissan Armada image showing instructions on how to install the recalled sensor. This needs to be reviewed immediately and make corrections with adding the Armada being part of the recall. It has same exact sensor part and I feel that this should not be held on the vehicle owners part as clearly it is a defective part. There will be additional calls I will make if needed to the attorney general's office if this does not get resolved in a prompt manner and if an accident occurs and does not deploy airbags because of recalled part that was not appropriately added to a nhsta list, there will be legal advice sought regarding liability and injuries.
Several weeks ago the airbag warning light on the dashboard began flashing and has continued to do so to this day. I am filing this report to confirm others who have reported the same experience.
