“One morning I arrived at work and my seat belt would not disengage after struggling with it for 10 minutes I had to cut it to get out I had no prior problems with seatbelt until that morning I took my vehicle to Nissan but they are saying they will not cover it apparently because I had cut it and they are also saying that something could of been stuck in the locking mechanism u assure you there was not it's an excuse they are using to not pay for it if I had been in wreck or fire I could have died .”

“My side impact air bags deployed with no impact - no reason in march of 2014. Same exact thing occurred again in november of 2014. Nissan took responsibility + had items repaired, but I am concerned about why this is repeatedly happening + I'm afraid of it happening again!”

“In Summer 2023 driving on uneven country road in Upstate New York hit a pothole and my airbag warning light came on. Then started to flash. Truck is still drivable BUT now The seatbelts no longer lock in place during a sudden stop Did research online Nissan has a Voluntary Service Campaign for this exact issue. Campaign ID P7318 I made appointment with Koeppel Nissan. Had to wait weeks then They canceled my scheduled appointment on September 4 and reschedule for September 12. Probably not safe to drive truck with airbag light on and seatbelt issues. I go to my regular mechanic. …”

“The seat belt warning alarm, not sure what you would call it, stopped sounding when the seat belt was not clicked. The vehicle was taken to the service department where the truck was purchased new. The truck was still under manufactured warranty. The service department told us the vehicle was not equipped with this. Of course it was working when the truck was purchased, we would never purchase a vehicle without this feature. We have tried to find the federal law stating this must be part of a vehicle after a certain date, but have not had any luck. We would appreciate any information . …”
