Airbag deployed for no reason...
I parked my car today, got out, walked about 5 feet, and boom. There goes my drivers airbag. WTF?? So I take it into Nissan. They come out telling me Nissan doesnt want them working on it because I have aftermarket speakers, grounding kit and a sub, LOL! So he gives me the cost of the parts without labor and its like $2500, lol. I ended up taking the car back, drove it home and cut the airbag for the time being.
My options (I guess) are to replace it with a personal wheel and a hub, or for about $1500 I can replace the wheel and the harness. The harness is around $1200 and I can find an airbag for around 250-300.
I tried calling Nissan consumer affairs but they are closed all ready.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I think since I already brought it..its on record since they have my VIN...and the magnusson moss act covers all that ****..they cant void my warranty or anything of the sort without proving the speaker wiring cause the airbag to deploy HA!.

I would talk to Nissan and furthermore Nissan NA and you may want to seek the counsel of a lawyer. I'm not a huge 'lawsuit' kind of guy but you are out a healthy amount of cost and you lost an companion through no fault of your own. It would only seem right and fair to be reimbursed for your expense.
let us know what transpires
