Maxima

  • miles
My airbag module sensor light was activated, it has been flashing and becoming very annoying. I recently purchase my used 2008 Nissan Maxima 3 months ago. I went to the dealer, got a diagnostic check done and was advised it would be $915 to replace the module because I exceeded the 3/36 warranty. I feel this is a safety issue and Nissan should be held responsible for fixing the faulty equipment.
