ELECTRONIC SENSOR/ CONTROL MODULE FOR AIRBAGS HAS TOTALLY FAILED (AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHING) AFTER JUST OVER 6 YEARS AND LESS THAN 38750 MILES OF USAGE OF THE 1997 NISSAN QUEST GXE WHICH WAS BOUGHT IN MARCH 1997. IT COST ABOUT $640.00 IN REPLACING THE MODULE FROM THE NISSAN DEALER. *JB

THE VEHICLE WAS BEING OPERATED WITH THE A/C ON, CAR CHARGER PLUGGED IN AND THE RADIO ON. WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH IN THE PASSING LANE.

HAD L SERVICE WARRANTY WORK DONE. AIR CONDITIONER (A/C) NEVER REALLY WORKED GREAT AS LIKE OTHER CARS. SOME DAYS IT WORKS SOMEDAY NOT.*AK

WHEN I TRIED TO START THE CAR AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON. CAR WAS NOT IN ANY ACCIDENT. DEALER REPLACED AIR BAGS:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE. SINCE IT HAPPENED WITHOUT ANY REASON, I CONCLUDE THAT AIR BAG SYSTEM SUPPLIED WITH NISSAN QUEST IS UNSAFE AND WILL NOT HELP DURING ACCIDENT. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER FAULT, I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR PRICE ($800). *JB

A CHILD IN THE REAR SEAT WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE SEAT BELT. THE SEAT BELT LOCKED IN THE AUTOMATIC LOCKING POSITION AND WAS TIGHT AROUND THE CHILD NECK. THE SEAT BELT HAD TO BE CUT TO RELEASE THE CHILD FROM THE SEAT BELT. *JB
