What 2014 Nissan Armada owners say
Air bags
The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Armada. The contact stated while driving 35-40 MPH, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 97,600.
I have brought this vehicle to glendale Nissan twice for repair of air bag recall. Warning light came back on following day. Upon second occasion service tech said that they had changed air bag component, however there was a deleted code stored previously that somehow re-activated. He said they had cleared it and that I should monitor it. Light continues to be on. I'm concerned about safety of driving it any longer. I'm at a loss at what my options are.
