I HAD RECALL REPAIRS DONE FOR MY 1994 NISSAN, ALTIMA. THE RECALL WAS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. AFTER THE AIR BAG WAS REPLACED THE AIR BAG LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE NISSAN DEALER THAT DID THE WORK. THEY CHECKED THE CAR AND SAID THAT IT WAS PROBABLY THE SWITCH, AND IT WOULD COST $1500.00. I TOLD THEM THAT THIS HAPPENED AFTER THEY DID THE RECALL. BUT, THEY DID NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME. THIS HAS BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. I WILL GET THE EXACT DATE. THE DATE BELOW IS A GUESSTIMATE. BUT, THE WORK WAS DONE AT PASSPORT NISSAN IN ALEXANDRIA, VA. *AK

LOSS OF HUB CAP ON 1994 NISSAN ALTIMA. I HAVE DONE AN INFORMAL SURVEY AND 60% OFTHESE 1994 NISSAN ALTIMAS IN THE DALLAS METROPLEX DRIVE AROUND WITH AT LEAST ONE MISSING HUB CAP! I MADE A JOKE OUT OF IT AND ALWAYS POINT IT OUT TOMY WIFE WHEN DRIVING AROUND, ITS LIKE A GAME NOW TO GO AROUND OTHER ALTIMAS ON BOTH SIDES ON THE FREEWAY ANDTHEN I TELL MY WIFE, SEE THERES ANOTHER ONE! I WORK NEXT TO NISSAN DEALER AND WHEN I AM IN THE SHOP I ALWAYS TELL THE MECHANICS JOKINGLY SEE THERES ANOTHER ALTIMA WITHOUT AHUB CAP AND THEY ALWAYS LAUGH IT OFF, I DONT MAKE A BIG DEAL OFIT SINCE THEY GAVE ME TWO NEW (DIFFERENT) HUB CAPS. BUT IN THE INTEREST OF NATIONAL SAFETY THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND WHEELS SHOULD BE INSTALLED WITHOUT HUBCAPS SO THESE BABIES DONT POP OF AGAIN AND ENDANGER FELLOW ROAD USERS! ITSABUMMER THIS NEEEDS TO BE DONE 10 YEARS LATER!*AK
