What owners wrote
I had a car accident on 1-1-2006. I had a frontal collision in a 2005 nissan 350z. The passengers airbag deployed, but the drivers did not. Which resulted in a fractured sternum.
Air bag lights have been flashing for 3 years whether parked or in motion, dealership says $1500 to diagnose but believes bags are not functioning and advises to "drive safely" if I decide not to repair. Not on recall list which is unreal this is a safety issues as bags will not go off if in a collision according to dealership.
