Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: One in february 2001, i started up the car. the air bag light started flashing. it was 30 days before i could get it in to slidell nissan. the mechanic manager told me that the air bag had just gone bad. he could not tell me specially why it failed. but, he said that it would cost be $652.00 to get it fixed. i have never had to use the airbag, and now i find that if i have a collision, i will not have air bag protection at all. i then searched the internet and found nissan is on record as having problems with their older air bags, 1996 included. nissan will not fix this for me for free. *ak
