“The driver's side seatbelt does not retract correctly. I contacted a local dealership and Nissan america.

I will certainly let all know about nisaan's lack of concern for the general public which choose to purchase their cars, new or used! Not good customer service. …”

I had the part replaced on may 29, 2018 by my certified mechanic with a Nissan oem part that came from larry miller Nissan in denver colorado. The issue was fixed and the warning light went away. …”
