Filed Nov 24, 2024 · Airbags, Suspension · CA

Around 12:30 pm Sysco driver [XXX] illegally parked on the San Diego California street blocking off traffic. I made a note of the drivers identification because of the awkward closeness to my vehicle. I went to an appointment about an hour away and upon my return I immediately noticed tension and pulling with my suspension that was not there before. I contact Sysco corporate office to report the incident and they said they will take care of it and to make a police report. I call immediately and am put on hold for nearly 90 minutes then am disconnected. I go to make an in person report and the police department is closed on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I notify the department of transportation and the California attorney general of my situation and how my car is not working like before. This should be investigated.

My name is [XXX] and I can be reached at [XXX]...The dashboard has many cracks on it and it looks like it's melting too by the sun rays. It's very sticky when you touch it too. Vehicle tends to slow down a lot when I am driving as if I am about to get transmission problems soon. I see many people who already complained this transmission issue. My car has about 130,646 miles on it. The passenger air bag is consistently on and I hope it won't deploy on its own.

My air bag light is on red

Sensor in the front passenger seat is out making the airbag light blink in the cluster panel. I was told by the Nissan dealership that I would need a whole new seat and that would cost over $1000.

The airbag passenger notification light keeps blinking on in the dash. It can be reset, but as soon as a passenger sits in the chair the light comes on again. According to the advisor the sensor needs to be replaced. According to the nissan advisor none of the airbags will deploy if the light is on. This seems to me a very dangerous situation.

Airbag light flashes when car is on whether stationary or in motion. Was told its the sensor in the passenger seat cushion and the whole cushion has to be replaced. Airbag will not deploy and is a safety issue if not fixed asap. Very frustrating...at a cost over $1000.00.
