1997 nissan quest. Neither driver or passenger airbag deployed in the accident.
Electronic sensor/ control module for airbags has totally failed (airbag warning light flashing) after just over 6 years and less than 38750 miles of usage of the 1997 nissan quest gxe which was bought in march 1997. It cost about $640.00 in replacing the module from the nissan dealer.
When I tried to start the car air bag light started to flash for no particular reason. Car was not in any accident. Dealer replaced air bags:sensor/control module. Since it happened without any reason, I conclude that air bag system supplied with nissan quest is unsafe and will not help during accident. This is a manufacturer fault, I would like to be reimbursed for the repair price ($800).
