Frontier

  • Automatic transmission
  • 68,400 miles

I have a 2016 Nissan Frontier with only 68,400 miles on it. The airbag light on the dash started flashing. I took it to Any Mohr Nissan and they diagnosed that the sensor in the passenger seat has failed and that it is an $1800 repair, because the only way to fix it is to replace the whole seat.

I would like to formally complain that this seems like an excessive price for something that should last more than 4 or 5 years. It would appear from my internet search that others are having the same problem. Maybe this should be a re-call item. What are your thoughts?

Frontier SL 6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 2,500 miles

This light started flashing within a month of buying this truck. It was a new truck. Took it in and they kept the truck for almost a week, picked it up and within a few miles the light started flashing again. Took it back and they stated they needed to keep it again. Took it back to the dealer at a later date, the tech looked at it and said he would have to keep the truck and contact Nissan to discuss the problem. Sat up an appointment last week, they picked the truck up and said 3 to 5 days. They called me back and stated they had to order a part. Part didn't fix the issue. Ordered a different part stating it may take a little longer. Still waiting to see what and when I'll get the truck back.
