SRS LIGHT REMAINS ON ALL THE TIME. LOCAL DEALER SAYS IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND WILL FIX IT FOR 2500.00 DOLLARS. WILL AIR BAGS WORK? I DON'T KNOW.

SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES CONTINUOUSLY WHILE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. DEALER TROUBLESHOT AND DETERMINED THAT OCCUPANT SENSOR UNIT FAILED. ANY ONE OF 3 THINGS COULD BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. EACH HAD TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER WITH NO GUARANTEE AND NO REFUND IF REPLACEMENT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. DEALER REPLACED AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT FOR $1,442.17, WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. NEXT DEALER WANTED TO REPLACE OCCUPANT SENSOR UNIT (SEAT CUSHION) FOR $4,107.00. IF THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, THEN REPLACE WIRING HARNESS. AFTER SPENDING $1,442.32, I WAS UNWILLING TO ADD ANOTHER $4K WITH NO ASSURANCE THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD BE FIXED. NISSAN DOES NOT APPEAR CAPABLE OF IDENTIFYING WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, NOR CAN THEY FIX IT WITHOUT NUMEROUS COSTLY ATTEMPTS THAT ARE PRETTY MUCH SHOTS IN THE DARK. I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE WITH UNKNOWN AIR BAG CAPABILITIES.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2012 Nissan 370Z verdict →
