Air Bag Light On problems of the 2015 Nissan Altima - part 1

My passenger air bag light stays on while driving and a passenger is in the seat and this has been going on since I financed my car back in 2015 I'm the only owner of this car and the dealership won't help me.

My car air bag light came on while I was driving but I didnt think much about it, I drove it like that for a couple months, my husband told me to take it to the dealer to get checked out, first dealer told me the cost was going to be 1600. 00 and they quoted me the part was going to cost 1200. 00, I refused to pay that much and we were able to get the price lowered to 900. 00 but they couldn't fix it because the part was on back order, so they reset the air bag when I left the dealer the airbag light was off, the next day the light came back on, a few days later I took it to another dealer to see what they would say, first day they reset the airbag light I asked if the airbag is activated they said they did not know, I said well its still a safety issue, I asked how can the airbag be deployable then, he said we will need to change out the airbag, so they ordered the airbag and eventually replaced it, I asked what if the light comes on again he said then we will have to see whats next on the list of parts to replace, so in other words it just change out parts by trial and error, I drove off and the following day while I was driving the airbag light came on again and unfortunately I am driving my car with out a activated airbag, I am afraid to take it to the dealer again because of the cost and trial by error them not knowing how to pin point the problem, currently the airbag light stays on and I was told by the dealer that my air bag is not activated while that light is on.

Airbag light came on out of nowhere and cannot get it to reset. I've disconnected the battery and tried the reset with key ignition and neither work.

I am manolo kalata. I live in 301 round up circle edinburg TX. My phone number is 956 533 1930 with driver's licence number 21329540. I own a 2015 Nissan Altima. On the night of July 27, 2020, while I was driving on highway 83 from san benito TX to my home in edinburg TX, I just noticed that the red airbag indicator light just popped up from nowhere. I was alarmed about this and I thought my passenger (my wife) just didn't put on her seatbelt. But when I checked she was using her seatbelt. So I went ahead and look again that red indicator light and I noticed that it was the airbag indicator light. So I just went driving very cautiously home because I'm scared that something might happen along the way.

My passenger air bag light keeps coming on. Had harry green in clarksburg wv look at it 1125/2019. Found nothing. Said they hooked it up to a computer and no errors were reported. Does it in motion. The of road doesn't seem to trigger it.

Air bag light comes on and off randomly. Hood release latch does not work, it pulls but the hood does not pop.

I have a 2015 Nissan Altima s and the airbag light has been on for about 6 months. I took it to the dealership and the first time they said it was the module and fix for $1000 - second time they said it was the seat. - I didn't even get a quote for that. I contacted Nissan and they said since my car is not on recall for the airbags I would have to pay for it myself. If I remember correctly, I believe I contacted them twice and got the same response. It passes inspection so I will just live (or die) with the light on. I just hope the airbags deploy if I have an accident.

Air bags: occupant classification system - OCS (front passenger) - was told my car is not included in this recall based on VIN, however, passenger airbag light goes off and on even with someone in passenger seat, dash light is also on. This happens consistently, whether driving or parked.

My car is under warranty and air bag light keeps showing up. One tech said the module needs to be replaced and another tech said the seat needs to be replaced. No one is helping with fixing this issue.

My air bags light popped on automatically and never went off and I had just cranked my car up and was sitting in my driveway. Every light went off except my two air bag lights.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. While driving various speeds, the passenger side air bag off indicator illuminated while the passenger seat was occupied. The contact called an unknown dealer in newburgh, NY and was informed to bring in the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 16v911000 (air bags). The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. Approximately two months ago, while driving, the front passenger air bag warning indicator illuminated. The contact was concerned that the air bags might deploy. The vehicle was taken to scott evans Nissan (located at 725 bankhead hwy, carrollton, GA 30117, (770) 832-8222) where it was diagnosed that the sensor below the front passenger seat was disconnected. The vehicle was not repaired due to the repair fees. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided a case number. The approximate failure mileage was 97,000.

Takata recall the vehicle was stationary in a parking lot. Someone backed into my front bumper & drove away. My insurance company has the pictures state farm. I had the bumper repaired, the collision company told me to take my car to a Nissan dealer to see why the airbag light was still on. Serra Nissan told me I need a new airbag.

Air bag light went on so we took it in for service. Vehicle has 60k miles and has never been involved in an accident. Ed martin fishers in Nissan said that replacing the drivers side airbag may fix the issue. Its not covered under warranty and the replacement is approximately $1400. How is this not a covered recall or warranty issue. It should't be a wear and tear item and there is nothing we did to break the air bag?.

Air bag indicator on dashboard came on suddenly one morning at mileage of 86,500 and would not go off even after re-starting. We took the vehicle to our local dealership were we purchased the vehicle, to be diagnosed. The dealership determined it was a faulty OCS for the occupant side airbag and that it would not be cover even though we had a gold 120,000 extended warranty with no-deductibles. This is one of he excluded parts not covered under the extended warranty. I reached out to Nissan consumer affairs on 11-30-18 after discussing with the dealership and spoke with a helen employee #7319348 and was assigned case# 33678608 and was told someone would get back to me by the end of the day 12-3-18. On 12-3-18 brandan fro Nissan consumer affairs called back, but I missed his call. I returned his call and left messages for him to call me back on 2 more occasions but did not hear back from him. On the morning of 12-5-18 I called him again and was able to speak with him. Brandan employee # 33678608 told me that they would not be covering the part or labor involved (approx cost according to dealership of $450 for parts and labor). I explained to him that this particular vehicle had a total of 8 recalls documented under the NHTSA of which 3 of dealt with the occupant side airbag and OCS (#16v911000, #16v24400 and #15v681000) and that it was a safty issue and was no fault of ours and based upon all this information the correct thing to do would be to cover this issue. He apologized over-and-over but would not commit to cover this. It is of my opinion and the opinion of the dealership that this issue is most likely related to any one of those 3 recalls and I am therefore calling upon the NHTSA to assist with this by adding this as another recall and allowing us to get reimbursed for the issue as well as to protect other owners that may encounter the same issue.

The front passenger side airbag indicator light came on indicating that the front passenger airbag was off. My wife was sitting in the front passenger side seat at the time. She had her seat belt on. I was driving down the road at 70 mph on a highway at the time. I have this on video that shows that this lasted for approximately 12 minutes before the light went off and the airbag system indicated that the airbag would deploy in the event of an emergency. This is 12 minutes where my wife was not protected by an airbag system. The video that I have is from and iphone and is not in a supported file format for uploading. I would be happy to send it to you another way. I contacted the NHTSA about 8 months ago about this issue and have not heard anything. I contacted nisan at the same time and they indicated that without any error codes, there is no proof that this is an issue or is really happening. I have documented video evidence that this in fact did occur. This is a safety issue in which no one seams to care about. You would think that with all of the recent troubles with airbags, someone would take some interest in looking into the root cause of the issue. I am asking the NHTSA to please assist me in getting this safety issue resolved. I contacted nisan again and they have not returned my call.

The airbag light is on the car and wont come off.

When a passenger sit in front passengers seat the air bag light stays off and it will go from on to off once in a while even if the is someone sit in the front.

I never received my recall so I can get my car fixed. While driving with a passenger in the front seat my air bag light says off not recognizing the passenger which can result in injury. Also the hood latch has a recall that needs fixing.

The front passenger side airbag indicator light intermittently indicates that the passenger airbag is off when someone is sitting in the passenger seat. This generally happens when I first turn the vehicle on and there is someone already sitting in the front passenger seat. If I shut the vehicle off and turn it back on then the airbag light will go off indicating that the airbag is on. I took it to the Nissan dealer and they said that the computer does not show a problem and that there is nothing that they can do about it. They told me that the airbag system was under warranty through 99,999 miles or 2030 if there is an incident it would be covered. That is not very reassuring to hear that if the airbag fails it will be cover under warranty.

Air bag light stay's on that air is off with a passenger in the seat.

Air bag light is on meaning air bag is off with a passenger in seat.

My vehicle has an issue where the passenger airbag is not active when an adult occupant is sitting in the passenger seat. The passenger airbag indicator lights up and indicates the passenger airbag is "off" when an adult occupant is sitting in the passenger seat. Even though there is an open recall (NHTSA campaign number: 16v244000) for this particular problem onmy vehicle. However, when I enter my vehicle identification number into the NHTSA website, it does not show any outstanding recalls for my vehicle. Nhtsa and Nissan should double check the vehicles affected as part of the recall. The number of vehicles affected maybe greater than originally estimated since my vehicle was not part of the recall, yet it is experiencing the exact same symptom as outlined in NHTSA campaign number: 16v244000.

Air bag light on dash remains on. Passenger air bag remains off when occupent is seated.

The airbag light will not go off.

When dropping a friend off at his house he unbuckled his seatbelt got out of the car and the red seat belt light came on on the instrument cluster and the passenger airbag light remained off showing the airbag was still alive rather than lighting up to show that it is off. My car has been in the dealer to reprogram the computer twice to check why when a passenger set in the seat the airbag did not show active comma and the passenger airbag has been replaced by Nissan for test purposes. The warning systems remained on as if someone was sitting in the seat until I turned the car off and started it at a later time.

Air bag light comes on passenger side seat indicating air bag off,with passenger sitting in seat(passenger weighs over 115 #. I have brought car in for seat and air bag recall! brought in 2 more times for same problem. Still same problems. Contacted Nissan corp and told problem. As told by Nissan rep that they spoke with dealership that all was done to correct problem and known of anything that they could do for problem. The problem does this erratically when car is in motion or stationary. I m am afraid to use auto with pass in seat not knowing if air bag would work in case of a accident.

Takata recall- the airbag light comes on occasionally when an adult is in the passenger seat. I have been in twice. My car has less than 8,000 miles. Not having a lot of faith in the airbags right now.

My 2015 Altima airbag lights were on, I brought the car in for servicing on December 23rd to cover the recall. On the 29th with wife in car airbag light came back on dashboard. Sensor does not work properly in seat. Wife weighs over 120 pounds. I looked online and found many other people have the same issue with the recall, their car never receives the update and customers have to go back in repeatedly and the problem is never resolved. So airbags won't deploy now when my wife is a passenger. Nissan is not replacing everything they could to fix the problem. For some the reprogramming works. For others they need complete replacement of electronics. My car is going back in for what they call "servicing" as the recall was already preformed on the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. While driving 35 mph, the air bag warning indicator illuminated while the passenger seat was occupied. The vehicle was serviced per NHTSA campaign number: 16v244000 (air bags), but the remedy failed to repair the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 51,000. The VIN was not available.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. While driving various speeds, the air bag warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the air bag control unit and the OCS electronic control unit failed and needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was serviced per NHTSA campaign number: 16v244000 (air bags), but the remedy failed to repair the vehicle. The air bag warning indicator illuminated after the repair. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. The contact stated that the recall repair was not an adequate repair for the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000.

Airbag light still on after recall. Found airbag control unit code stored abnormal voltage after airbag reprogram was performed. Replaced airbag control unit and tested system airbag light no longer on. . Per dealer 9/2/16. 10/27/16 I took back to dealer airbag light still not coming off with adult passenger most of the time . Sometimes it would work other times light telling airbag was off would not work. It's back at dealer and only has 10,000 miles. I'm really concern for the safety of my family.

Recalled due to the air bag light not working properly. Went into dealer and was fixed. 3 times since then the same thing has happened. Dealer feels it's not a problem!.

Having fixed a recall related to airbag sensors, the passenger side airbag light keeps going off (indicating the airbag is off) even when occupied by a 130 pound passenger sitting properly in the vehicle seat (back straight against set back, knees bent at edge of seat, feet flat on the floor) with seatbelt on properly (lapbelt across hips/lap and shoulder belt across the shoulder) this happens repeatedly, though to had to select 1 date to file this report.
