I received the notice for NHTSA recall 14V-361. Called the nearest Nissan dealership service, future Nissan of folsom, ca 4-5 days in advance to make the appointment. I brought in my car as scheduled but was turned away after waited for an hour. The dealership service said that they had the part for my car but gave it to another local dealership. The service dept of this dealership had made it impossible for me to have my car defective part get fix as soon as possible. I have wasted a week waiting to come in to this dealership service dept thinking that they will do the job properly. Now I will have to set up another appt. With a different local Nissan dealership service dept. I am making a complaint on how the service dept of future Nissan of folsom, ca dealing with this recall from its Nissan company.

This is a new update and see #10301656. Less than 3 weeks since my last repair, my 2004 Sentra airbag light is flashing again. I took it back to the dealer and they are now saying the computer is bad and needs to be replaced for $667. I asked the service adviser how did he know the previous three seat belt assemblies were bad and he said the error code told him so. I asked him what led him to believe the computer is bad this time, and he said they have to try something else and work upstream since the last three fixes did not work. I asked him if he is sure the computer is the problem and he can not say or give me a good answer. I told him I will not be keeping the car once it is fixed and so they better do a through job to protect the next buyer now that the car has (4) repair records due to airbag system failure. I called the Nissan hq for assistance and they in turn contact the local dealer for information. The only discrepancy I can determine is now the shop claims to have error codes that pin point the problem. Nissan hq said the car is out of warranty but I told them the first incident occurred under the warranty period and it took them (4) times and still couldn't get it right. I believed the Nissan airbag restraint has some design flaw because all of the replaced assemblies are on the passenger side and I am the lone driver. +++++++ I am reporting a safety concern to nhtsb because the same seat belt component for my 2004 Nissan Sentra 1.8L sedan has failed three times within a span of 5,209 miles. The local Nissan dealer has no explanation for the repeated failures: 12/23/2008 @ 46,401 miles; 8/13/2009 @ 48,000 miles; 1/19/2010 @ 51,610 miles. Nissan dealer corrected the problems each time under warranty with belt assy - tongue #86884-6Z604. The airbag light came on and stayed flashing each time until the problem is corrected. I do not know if the entire safety restraint system itself has been compromised with a single co.

I do not know if the entire safety restraint system itself has been compromised with a single component failure. The front passenger seat is rarely occupied as I am the lone driver of this car and carry no passenger. I have written to Nissan Consumer Affairs, P.O.box 685003, franklin tn 37068-5003 last Aug 22, 2009 about this safety concern and Nissan has not responded.

I was in an accident on an interstate, the impact was at about 70 mph to the front driver's side in a Nissan Sentra. The impact was hard enough to damage the shift the dashboard along with the rest of the front of the car. The airbags did not deploy.

20 feet after pulling out of the driveway, suddenly there was a vibration in the steering, the brakes failed to function, the vehicle veered to the left and went into a ditch and impacted a sewer drain. The driver was severely burned by the airbags when they deployed. The insurance company totaled the vehicle. The cause of the above failures is undetermined.
