Warning Light On problems of the 2013 Nissan Altima - part 1

Warning light on dash for passenger seat air bag and passenger seat belt.

The red airbag warning light on dashboards is solid lit without a adult passenger on passenger seat. The light goes off when there is a adult passenger on the passenger seat.

Hi, I am an owner of a Nissan Altima 2013 s vehicle. Recently I noticed that airbag light came on and I took it to the dealership. Dealership diagnosed with b0028-13 and said it was a past code and cleared the code. It came back on again while I was driving after a month. I again diagnosed and the same code and showing a past code. Dealer couldn't identify the problem and said it needs to replace the whole seat, which will cost 1800 dollars. They said the airbag control module for the passenger side needs to be changed. And I noticed one thing, after code is getting cleared, the airbag warning light doesn't come all of a suddenly, although it has some problem with passenger occupancy too, as sometime even if an adult sit in the front passenger seat, passenger airbag stays off. Which is very risky while driving. Nissan has no answer to that. And right after that, airbag warning light comes back. I am a student and don't have that much of money to get this costly repair ( seat replacement) done and is a big safety issue. Please help me in this matter.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to state line Nissan (10401 madison Ave, kansas city, mo 64114) where it was diagnosed and the contact was informed that nothing needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not under recall. The contact related the failure to an unknown recall. The failure mileage was approximately 133,000.

The supplemental air bag warning light came on and will not turn off. The light has been cleared by a mechanic, however, it came back on and stays on.

Had one recall for the passenger air bag always being lit. Had it �fixed� now the drivers air bag warning light (red) and the passengers (yellow in dash) lights are always on.

The passenger airbag dah light indicated that the airbag was "off" while an adult was occupying the passenger seat. I took the vehicle to a Nissan dealership who determined that 2 airbag modules were deflective, not working and needed to be replaced at my expense. I contacted Nissan USA, franklin, TN and explained the problem. Consumer affairs department said there was not a campaign or recall for this problem but would look in to it for a possible "goodwill" coverage. After contacting the dealership that inspected the car, Nissan offered to cover 60% of the cost. This may a good "goodwill" gesture, but I can only imagine the possible catastrophic bodily injury that could have occurred in an accident if I hadn't noticed this problem. These are not moving parts. I find it hard to believe that there is no warning light or indicator for this failure. How many other Altimas could be affected by this problem?10/27/2019.

My air bag light is always off and warning light is on in the dash.

Airbag warning light indicates faulty electronics. Began about 50,000 miles. This is not due to misuse. It's companion to earlier recall for a faulty airbag, which was corrected. Reported to dealer. Cost estimate to repair from $800 to $5,000 depending the level of defect. Owner believes this should be Nissan's responsibility, as it's not due to negligence.

Air bag warning light constantly on after two resets due to recall. Dealer says it is not due to the recall but that is bs.

Takata recall. Warning lights for passenger airbag come on intermittently whether passenger is in vehicle, or not. Have had the vehicle in to the dealer to resolve the problem, but it has not been resolved yet. This happens when idling and in motion and still currently happening.

Takata recall, dashboard warning light illuminates, diagnostc port does not show any code for this problem. Had taken to dealer recall a r105 ntb14-02. And still a problem with seatbag illuminating. Had it reprogram and came back on again after one day driving the vehicle.

Takata recall, my driver side airbag warning light is showing on from last 15 days when I just started driving. Plus my shift lock sensor is not working. I put the gear on park on a gass station but when I tried to start it wont let me change the gear unless I opened the shift lock cap and tuck something in and try to change the gear to drive the car. Since then I have ti tuck something to change the gear from parking to anything else.

Passenger seat air bag warning light stays lit when a adult is sitting in seat. There is a recall for something similar, but we were told our car is not under that recall. My worry is if we have a accident will that front air bag deploy.

Takata recall the airbag warning light of my 2013 Nissan Altima has been on for almost two years. I have been gone to Nissan dealership two times, after their maintenance, every time the airbag light goes out for a few days, then it lights up again. The airbag must be failed, but the Nissan dealer did not replace it.

Hello, my 2013 Nissan Altima has a safety issue with the airbag. Since August 2017, the car's airbag alarm light is on。 after this happened, I went to gainesville Nissan two times, but the problem is not been solved. The first time was on 9/1/2017. They (gainesville Nissan) charged me $34. 78 and told me the problem was the airbag sensor, the warning light was removed at that time. But after about two months the airbag light was on the dashboard again. So I went to gainesville Nissan the second time, on 3/5/2018. This time they charged $49. 95 and still said it was a problem with the airbag sensor. Unfortunately, the airbag alarm light show on the dashboard one more time after about one month until now. After these two repairs, I have reason to believe that my 2013 Nissan Altima airbag has quality problems, and gainesville Nissan is very irresponsible. And Nissan is recalling cars on a large scale because of airbag problems, I hope my problems can be solved, thanks.

2013 Nissan Altima s - safety system defect / malfunction problem:2 aspects (1)the OCS airbag and seatbelt system warning light "incorrectly indicates" a passenger is not in the seat when in fact the seat is occupied! this condition "turns off the air bag protection for an adult passenger!" (2)the seatbelt light �incorrectly indicates� that a passenger is unbelted. Erroneous test results: Nissan �tests� this safety system on equipment programmed by Nissan � via a humanly devised algorithm. In other words, since the �test equipment� is programmed incorrectly, the results will be wrong. Proof: Nissan has recalled to reprogram my vehicle 4 times (I think) � a new �test� algorithm. Additionally, Nissan refuses to acknowledge that there could be a faulty components of this safety system. If the �test� fails to show a system fault. Nissan ignores the problem. Nissan refuses to replace components of this faulty system. 2013 � 2017ocs system malfunction continues after multiple reprogrammings by Nissan. Nissan has never fixed this faulty system. Nissan needs to replace this safety system immediately!.

The amber passenger airbag disabled light stays on with the red airbag system warning light flashing continuously flashing. All of the recall notices I have read don't include my car but the criteria seem to fit the recall notices.

The failure recurred and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the technician stated that the manufacturer would be made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 71,094.

The orange passanger airbag light came on right after I purchased the car in 96/97/2015,with the number 1 underneath. This light would go away every once in a while based on usage. In the last 3months or more August 2016 is when the red airbag warning light starting flashing when car is turned on moving, with a passanger or without.

After the 2016 recall, to correct the faulty passenger air bag off condition, when a passenger not meeting the minimum airbag deployment requirements is seated the the passenger seat, the drivers "air bag off" warning indicator is now always illuminated when the passenger's seat is unoccupied. This condition leads to incorrect operation of the warning indicator which now displays this warning during a normal operating condition of the vehicle. Under normal operating conditions when there is no passenger in the vehicle, the constant illumination of the warning light will over time be ignored because of its constant on condition. The operation of the this indicator makes about as much sense as having the "seat belt unfastened" warning light always illuminated for an unfastened seat belt for an unoccupied passenger seat. . The inappropriate and misleading operation of warning indication leads to the operator's disregard of the warning indicator's significance. Over time, the driver will accept the on condition of this warning light as a normal operating indication and may lead the driver not recognizing the significance if this warning light remaining "on" in the event that a front seat passenger, meeting the air bag deployment criteria, occupies the seat. The operation of this warning light must be returned to its per-recall operation of only illuminating when the passenger seat is occupied by a passenger not meeting the criteria for air bag deployment. Any other operation of this warning light yields erroneous misleading passenger safety information to the operator of the vehicle. This safety condition must be corrected.

I have had trouble with my cars " air bag off " warning light staying lit with a passenger in the seat ever since I bought the car new . It has been to the dealership to be " repaired " 4 times . Each time it was not corrected . Recently I brought the car in for this problem as part of the safety recall . Despite this ,once again this past weekend the " airbag off " light comes on even though a passenger is in the seat . The light will come on randomly and then stay lit the whole time I am driving . . . No matter how the passenger sits or moves in the seat it will not turn off until the car is turned completely off and then restarted . Now the dealer says to bring the car in for the 5th time and they will see if there is an error code . ( in the past there has not been any error codes retained ) I feel this car is completely unsafe for my family until this problem can be fixed . . . Until then I never know if my airbags are truly working correctly . . . And I don't want to have to find out after an accident that they weren't . My last Nissan !.

I am sending this email to notify you a possible severe safety risk caused by the failure of airbag passenger detection sensor. Recently I found that the seat belt warning light is malfunctioning in case a heavy bag with 22 lb weight is placed in the right side passenger seat. If heavy bag is placed in the right front seat, the seat pressure sensor detects the heavy bag as a passenger is seated and the car safety system turns on the seatbelt warning indicator on driver's monitor screen. This is the detection algorism failure for seatbelt detection system. So, to turn off seat belt warning red light, I fastened the seatbelt of rightside front seat even though there was no passenger in the seat. Then the seat belt warning light (red) is turned off. But even though seat belt warning light is turned off, this failure also makes the front passenger airbag to stop functioning, as the system turns on "front passenger airbag status indicator" with orange color light. And this means the airbag is not functioning in case of accident if the heavy bag is placed in the front right side seat of the car. This detection algorism failure may lead a severe injury in case of accident. So please refer and test with above condition, and fix this problem by recommending or taking action to upgrade the front passenger detection algorism and related software, to stop the malfunctioning of front airbag system. If you see this notice, please give me your reply for confirmation of receiving this message. Solving and notifying this problem is very important because the insurance company also matters this faults and the insurance company also recognizes and makes record history that other passenger was seated in the pls give me your email, that I may send file attachment for detailed explanation for this complaint.
