problem #1

Aug 162016

(reported on)

Frontier PRO-4X 4.0L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 43,000 miles

Airbags wrongfully deployed, there was no reason for them to deploy. Nissan admitted their fault and repaired the vehicle to original condition, however the airbag software and programming is still the same. Thus the vehicle is dangerous to myself and others on the road around me, as it is likely to happen again. I feel completely scared to drive it and don't want to trade it in and give the problem / danger to someone else. I want Nissan to replace with new model that doesn't have the problem or buy back the vehicle. They have been avoiding me and treating this as a lemon law case, so to them it's concluded. To me it's far from concluded as I never presented this as a lemon law issue in any way, it's a safety issue. It's completely dangerous to drive on the roads and Nissan is avoiding me like the plague. I'm pushing on to get them to work with me if not then I will have to get a lawyer. The BBB contacted me with their Auto Line, an arbitration arm of the BBB, to help with situations similar to this. However, don't arbitrate this matter if this happens to you in your 2011 or 2012 Frontier as it voids you from legal involvement. There is currently a class action lawsuit against Nissan of North America for this side curtain airbag deployment defect for the Frontier model years 2011 and 2012. Not happy.!!
