My Pixo saga developed like this. Had the airbag light issue looked at by two independent garages, one of those specialised in car electrics. Unlike the Nissan dealership, BOTH diagnosed the fault to be with the clockspring ribbon cable. For the record, the non-specialist garage did this by using their computer and then they advised me to take the car to the electric specialists, who stripped down the steering column, tested the ribbon cable and confirmed damage to it. The first garage was my usual servicing point and never charged me, the second garage charged me £36 although they had to strip it down TWICE because they had forgotten to take a note of the part number. Went to the dealer and told them the independents’ verdict, you should have seen their faces when I asked them why did they want me to replace the airbag! Their mechanic then confirmed the fault with the ribbon cable, cost of repair c. £399 + VAT for the ribbon cable and £78 for labour. Contacted Nissan who initially said that they were prepared to cover 20% of the part cost. Following some negotiations they agreed a goodwill gesture to cover 75% of the part cost so I was to pay £100 + VAT + the labour cost of £78, a total of £198. And, of course, the condition was to have it fixed at the same Nissan garage (bizarrely, 3 months later they were stripped off the Nissan dealership status!). No other option so I got it fixed but not before calling a Suzuki dealer who quoted £99 + VAT for a ribbon cable for Suzuki Alto which is the same car as the Pixo. So I guess Nissan’s goodwill was not a goodwill after all! Shortly after this the airbag light flashed on and off again, and that did it for me as I completely lost faith in the car, Nissan and their dealerships. I just traded it in for a different make while it was still OK. I have to say that I really liked the car, it was the ideal commuter car for me regularly returning c. 50mpg on a 26 miles daily round trip plus another c. 70 miles over the weekend. There must be an issue with the ribbon cable or/and its fitting on the Pixo, and until Nissan hold their hand up and refund me the money I spent in their former dealership, I will not even consideri buying another Nissan again.
