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.Owner report · Air Bags · Jul 2020

Vehicle was on the interstate going speed limit at 60mph. There were no vehicles within the vicinity of my nissan armada. Suddenly I heard a loud pop-shatter sound. Almost like a gun shot or a very loud and close thunder sound. I started to hear rattling and I slightly opened my sunroof shade to see shattered glass. I closed it and went directly to the dealership.Owner report · Unknown Or Other · May 2017
