My car is again at the dealer being serviced. This car has been in the shop for airbag service on 11 separate occasions. This issue has been going on since 10 months after I drove off the lot with the car. I am convinced Nissan has been given a reasonable opportunity to fix the problem. I now need results so I can drive a car that will work as desgined.
