Brought my car to lia nissan of saratoga ny june 29th 2018. the did a recall replacement of my passenger side airbag occupant sensor, since then, and before the year was out, the part has gone bad again. brought to dealer, the service manager states that because i didn't bring it in before the year warrantied date, they need to charge me a $119 diagnostic fee. the part to replace the occupant sensor costs $45 retail. i do not feel i should be responsible to pay a fee for a part that is known to have multiple failures.
I noticed that the fron driver seat is loose. there is play room where it moves from one corner to the other. this wiggle is more noticeable when i brake and i take off from being on a stand still.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 nissan altima. while driving, the contact depressed the brake pedal and the driver's seat moved forward independently. the vehicle was taken to mossy nissan el cajon (located at 1170 w main st, el cajon, ca 92020, (619) 588-0500) where it was diagnosed that the driver's seat needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. in addition, while driving, the vehicle stalled without warning. the contact powered off the engine while in traffic. the vehicle was restarted after ten minutes and was able to drive normally. the failure recurred three times and was towed back to the dealer. the dealer diagnosed the vehicle, but could not duplicate the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 34469085. the approximate failure mileage was 42,000.
The plastic shroud that covers the bottom part of the driver seat has sharp edges, and sticks out to a point to where it cuts my calves when i enter and exit the car. i had the dealer correct the problem, however, the way they repositioned the plastic shroud now cuts into the seat itself. i informed nissan about the problem of the shroud now cutting into my seat, and was told "there is noting else we can do about this..", so i guess i will have to pay for either a new driver side seat down the line, or have to pay to have it repaired.
I recently purchased this vehicle and noticed that about a to 1 inch extra bump/projection of a vulnerable plastic under the drive seat caused bruises to the calf part of my leg. attached are the pictures of the part i explained and slight bruise to my leg. this is not the first time i get into this bruise on my calf, but several times. however i am careful, it is hurting me. i would like to share with you for a possible action with nissan and a remedy that would help to fix this in current vehicle as well as in future vehicles.
