The driver's side seatbelt does not retract correctly. I contacted a local dealership and Nissan America. The dealership gave me an estimate, without seeing the truck of $100-$1500 to replace the current seatbelt. This is a safety issue and should be for the life of the vehicle, not based on the milage/age of the vehicle. I will certainly let all know about nisaan's lack of concern for the general public which choose to purchase their cars, new or used! not good customer service. I had a Honda Accord that was 20+ years old and Honda replaced the seatbelt and assembly for free, being it was a safety issue!!!!!
In early 2018 the airbag warning light began flashing. I brought my vehicle in to my certified mechanic to identify the issue. The issue was determined to be the right front seat belt assembly. I am told the issue with the seat belt assembly impacts the deployment of the airbag and the mechanism that prevents the seat belt from spooling out when an accident occurs. I had the part replaced on May 29, 2018 by my certified mechanic with a Nissan oem part that came from larry miller Nissan in denver Colorado. The issue was fixed and the warning light went away. Slightly more than 1 year after the repair, the new part failed. Nissan will not stand by their part, they only warrant it for 1 year, but I am more concerned that there is something wrong with the design or manufacturing of the part. A safety part like this should not fail, let alone twice.
Passenger seat belt light flashes on, dealer says connected to computer under passenger seat (reset several times), light still flashes, dealership service says problem with seat sensor and not sure if air bag on passenger side will work or defective (want $800 to $3,000 to diagnose-fix-replace), Nissan corporate refuses to fix (says out of warranty), technician unable to say if air bag will deploy in an accident, service manager I deal with told me she had seen at least 10 similar problems with similar vehicles (X 8 service writers means at that dealership alone they have had at least 80 complaints in a month of the same nature X all dealerships??), Nissan corporate sent me a $250 gift card for other services at the dealership but refuses to acknowledge or address or attempt to fix a problem they admit they know they have (and I am only referring to Nissan Frontiers - not all other Nissan vehicles). May be a problem with the air bag or a problem with the computer or a problem with the seat sensor or an electrical issue.
