Air Bags · at 49,000 miles · reported Jan 3, 2021
Airbag light keeps blinking. After dealer diagnosed, determined faulty sensor b1018 passenger occupant sensor unit fail. I have not changed a seat or altered anything to the system. This is a safety issue and should be a recall since it involves the airbag system and many others have reported the same issue.
Electrical System · at 49,000 miles · reported Dec 31, 2019
The LED in my gtr cluster are no longer working, they are defective and are not replaceable = not being able to see the cluster driving at night time can be very dangerous. Safety is everything, nissan needs to understand the safety behind not being able to see the cluster while driving at night. The repair should be simple and repairable but in this case it is not.
