Took in my vehicle this morning to get 4 recalls fixed, and dealership stated they could only fix one of the 4 issues. Spoke to a representative and she stated the issues for the model of the SUV were not included in the VIN number, therefore the dealership couldn't assist with all 4 issues. The lights on the dashboard of the SUV are on and all pertain to the 4 issues not included in the VIN. How can I get these included in the VIN number so the dealership can fix the issues? The issues are as follow: the federal safety agency campaign number: 18v916000 the federal safety agency campaign number: 09v393000 the federal safety agency campaign number: 08v521000 the federal safety agency campaign number: 08v066000

Airbag warning light on dashboard started blinking and will not stop. Took 2009 murano to dealership and was told the airbag sensors was malfunctioning and I would have to replace my entire passenger seat to fix it, at a cost of over $5,000. The make, model and year of my vehicle is included in the federal safety agency campaign 08v521000, which highlights this identical problem yet my VIN is not included in the recall. How can this be? Nissan should cover this severe safety failure that is happening to a lot of 2009 muranos. Vehicle has never been in an accident and has about 80,000 miles. Vehicle no longer feels safe to drive and repair cost is prohibitively high.

Recently, a problem arose with my 2009 nissan murano's occupant classification system (ocs). The airbag light in my car had turned on so I brought it to the mechanic. After numerous efforts, he suggested that I bring it to the local nissan dealer. When I did, they were at a loss as to what to do. At the time, I called nissan north america ('nna') to see if there was anything they could do. After registering my concerns, nna apparently made some inquiries of the dealer and then told me that the car was out of warranty. I brought it back to my mechanic, who reassembled the passenger seat and, surprisingly, the airbag light went off. This solution was only temporary. I brought it to my mechanic again, who discovered a recall campaign on an identical issue which included my car's make and model. Specifically, nissan recall campaign bulletin ntb08-095, issued 11/4/2008. (also see id #: p8242, the federal safety agency #: 08v‑521.) my mechanic again referred me to the dealer, who told me that 'occupant sensor performed pin test and found internal failure with occupant sensor'. I then contacted nissan and opened a case regarding my situation (#37964757). I received a response that the ocs in my car was somehow different from those that were covered by the recall. However, when my problems are so similar to those described by the recall bulletin, and the same test that is used for the recall found issues with my car, I don't see why cars with the same ocs as mine should not be covered by the campaign. There is no reason not to. It is the same make and model of the recall and is suffering from the same issue. I don't understand why one group of cars is covered but another is not even though both groups are afflicted by the same problems. I hope that the scope of the recall can be expanded to include all cars that, like mine, pose a potential safety hazard to their drivers and passengers.

Airbag warning light suddenly stayed on flashing. There has never been any accident. Low miles and rarely a passenger in the car. Nissan dealer checked and determined it was the passenger sensor. They replaced the sensor and light remained. They then said they had to replace the entire passenger seat bottom to fix the issue. ~$3,700 later and it is fixed.

Air bag warning light started flashing and does not go off. Dealer (lancaster nissan) tested the vehicle and stated that sensor or seat sensor could be bad. They were able to turn off warning light, but it started again the next time I drove the car. Estimates to replace sensor ($1,500) and seat sensor ($4,500) seem extremely high. Vehicle has only 39,000 miles and was purchased new. Dealer stated there is no open recall despite research showing 100's of 2009 muranos with the same issue and a prior recall on earlier muranos and infiniti's - clearly the same manufacturing defect. Have not taken an action to repair at this point,

The passenger seat air bag control quit working. The red light is on in the dash. I have been told that this VIN number is not included in the recall. Nissan has a recall nvtsa # 08v‑521 and the campaign id for the 2009 murano number is z51. The problem with my car is the same as the recall. I only get the runaround from nissan about my problem. I can not use the car if I have a passenger. I need help for this problem.

Takata recall. The dealership said that my car is not under recall but my air bag sensor light keeps flashing and my passenger side airbag sensor says that this if off. I have tried turning the car on and off, buckling the seatbelt as per instructions. Light for sensor will not go off when driving, stationary, or idling.

The passenger airbag light flashes constantly while the car is running and being driven. Took it to a local nissan dealer who told me the entire bottom cushion would have to be replaced at a cost of $4000. It's the same problem other murano's are having, but my cars VIN number wasn't on the recall list, so this would be an out of pocket expense. I was told they could turn the flashing indicator off, but the passenger airbag will not deploy if in an accident. Nissan knows this is a problem with several 2009 murano's but refuses to address the problem by adding it to the recall list. It is unimaginable and unacceptable that nissan will allow the airbag light to be turned off knowing the airbag will not deploy properly and risk severe injury, or possible loss of life rather than make this a recall fix. Also the car only has 58000 miles on it.

Murano recall has been issued for other 2009 muranos for ocs sensor issue. Airbag light was triggered (stays flashing after vehicle has been started stationary & in motion) & code b1032 came up at nissan dealer. I was informed that my VIN wasn't included in recall, despite it being same trigger, year, make & model recalled. I requested info on how close in manufacturing to the recalled vehicles mine is & was informed that info isn't known. That info is tracked somewhere & that's how recalls are issued. To get this repaired would cost me over $2.500 (per estimate on record). How do I get this investigated so mine can be included as it is the same year, make, model & issue involved in recall?

Air bag control unit/ocs system failure. According to recall #08v521000, there is a history with problems with my make & model of vehicle. I have been to the dealership to try to resolve this issue repeatedly and while they turn off the dashboard light illuminating the problem, it simply illuminates again in a few days. Now they tell me I need to purchase a new seat cushion at a cost of almost $5,000. My VIN is not showing up in the recall notice but this is exactly the problem that I am having with my car. I can provide a picture of the airbag malfunction light on the dashboard, if you need it.

Well lets start with the engine stalling and not being able to get on the highway cause the engine lacks the power to even move. The right passenger side air bag light keeps flasing no matter what it does'nt go off.there is a rattling noise coming from the rear right side under the carriage. The left rear tire it lobsided and when it rains the rear of the car feels like its on ice and sways side to side it's an accident waiting to happen the tire sensor light never goes off even if you inflate to proper range and dont get me started on the transmission slipping hope that some one in your company does something about these issues before someone gets seriously hurt you may end up in court fix them before some one gets hurt....all this in motion. Street and highway. Documentation yes the whole car is documentation.
