Horn did not work and Airbag light keeps flashing

Side Air bags deployed while crossing a railroad crossing.

The Air Bag Clock Spring Spiral Cable failed on 6-29-2022. Nissan replaced the component 6-30-2022 at a cost to me of 852.72. I spoke with several service technicians at this dealership and I quote... yep, this happens all the time with these clock springs. I called Nissan consumer affairs. My case number was 46685014. They said since this is covered under the 5 year 60 K miles that they would not cover the cost. My 2014 truck has 66K. I said to them I felt that this is a safety issue and there should not be a time or mileage limit attached to a safety issue since the airbags will not deploy and that this problem is occurring often, according to Nissan's own service technicians. Also, from one of Nissan's website "How often do Air Bag Clocksprings need replacement? The airbag clock spring is designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle. I feel this should be investigated by your agency.

NO ACCELERATION AT TIMES. I HAVE TO "PEDAL" THE ACCELERATOR TO TRY TO GET THE TRUCK TO MOVE. MEANWHILE I AM STUCK WITH TRAFFIC RAPIDLY APPROACHING BECAUSE I CANNOT GET OUT OF THE WAY.

THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM WHEN I TAKE IT TO THEM.

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED, WITH 28,000 MILES. GAS SPURTS OUT OF FILLER NECK 90% OF THE TIME WHEN USING AUTOMATIC NOZZLE AS TANK NEARS 3/4 FULL; MUST FINISH FILLING AT VERY SLOW RATE MANUALLY. 10% OF THE TIME GAS SPURTS OUT FILLER NECK AS SOON AS FILLING BEGINS, UNLESS A ONE MINUTE WAIT IS OBSERVED BETWEEN STOPPING AND BEGINNING TO FILL TANK.

WHEN REFUELING VEHICLE FUEL SPLASHES OUT OF RESEPTICAL AFTER 10 SECONDS OF FUELING. THE AUTO SHUTOFF ON THE FUEL PUMP ACTIVATES AND REFUELING STOPS BUT NOT AFTER FUEL SPLASHES OUT ON THE PERSON REFUELING THE VEHICLE AND CREATING A HAZMAT EVENT AT THE FUEL PUMPS. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AT EVERY FILLUP BUT IF IT HAPPENS AT BUT IF IT DOES IT AT A PUMP IT WILL CONTINUE SPLASHING AT THAT PUMP EVERY TIME I TRY TO GET FUEL..

STEERING. ERRATIC STEERING WAS EXPERIENCED WHEN DRIVING. UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE SHAFT FROM THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE INPUT SHAFT ON THE STEERING BOX WAS NOT CONNECTED PROPERLY. THIS CREATED MOVEMENT IN THE CONNECTION WHICH WORE OFF THE SPLINES. THIS RESULTED IN ERRATIC STEERING AND STEERING FAILURE THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FATAL ACCIDENT. THE NISSAN REP DID NOT SEEM CONCERNED WHEN I CALLED TO ALERT THEN.

EVERY TIME I NEED TO FILL MY TRUCK UP, I NEVER LET IT GET BELOW A QUARTER OF A TANK, FUEL WILL COME SHOOTING BACK OUT AS IF IT IS FULL, BUT IT IS NOT. MY TRUCK WAS OFF, AND THE KEY NOT IN THE IGNITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY SINCE MY GETTING THIS TRUCK, 1/19/20190 TO CURRENT. I HAVE TO FUEL SLOW IN ORDER TO GET GAS A FULL TANK, LIKE THERE IS A KINK IN THE SYSTEM.

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN IN A "FRONT END COLLISION" AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED (EST. 70-80 MPH), AT IMPACT, NO AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED AND RESULTED IN HITTING MY HEAD EITHER AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL OR THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW (I AM UNSURE, AS I LOST CONSCIOUSNESS FOR SECONDS AFTER THE COLLISION). THIS COLLISION OCCURRED, MOST RECENTLY, ON 08/28/18. I WAS ALSO INVOLVED IN A "FRONT END COLLISION" WITH A SEMI-TRUCK/18-WHEELER IN FEBRUARY OF 2018. THIS WAS ALSO AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED BUT THE IMPACT WAS TO THE PASSENGER SIDE, PREDOMINANTLY. ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T HAVE A PASSENGER, I STILL WAS HIT HARD ENOUGH THAT THE IMPACT JOLTED MY HEAD TO, ONCE AGAIN, HIT MY STEERING WHEEL AND RESULTING IN BEING TRANSPORTED TO THE ER VIA LOS ANGELES FIRE DEPARTMENT. BOTH OF THESE ACCIDENTS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN MOTION.
