I have repeatedly gotten indicators (via vehicle's computer) of air bag failure, on a vehicle of low mileage, which has never been in an accident, and has gotten failures regarding the front passenger seat, which is rarely used. The first time, the dealer replaced the seatback and airbag under warranty. The second time the dealer replaced the seatbelt assembly. How, the 3rd time, they tell me that the same seat - cushion needs to be replaced, along with the airbag, and that I have to pay over $2,000 for this. Each time I get this failure notification, my airbag is disabled. So, it is an ongoing issue. The air bag failure light keeps coming on randomly, not related to a driving incident.
My airbag light began to flash a year ago I took it to Nissan they told me it was a seat cushion sensor it would cost me $500. 00 to have it fixed. I am writting this in complaint that this has not been in recall I have waited for this period in expectation of receiving a recall notice. Also a failure code for belt tensioner. To have these items repaired would cost a total of $2175. 14. I don't agree I should be responsible for the front passenger seat airbag sensor. No one sits in the seat, nothing should go wrong with the sensor. It came on all of a sudden. When starting the vehicle.
Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Nissan Frontier. The VIN was not provided. The contact stated that while driving about 35 mph and making a curve, the vehicle was rear-ended by another vehicle. The contact's vehicle crashed into a corner post on a farm. The contact stated that the impact moved the post a couple of inches into the farm. Only the side air bags deployed. The air bag light illuminated. The contact sustained some cuts and bruises and whole body soreness. The contact was briefly unconscious. The contact also suffered a concoction. The contact was taken to the emergency room by the farm owner. A police report was filed. The vehicle was damaged and was totaled due to the side air bags. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. The contact repurchased the vehicle from the insurance company. The contact called the ada Nissan dealer (580-332-2233, located at 420 lonnie abbott blvd, ada, ok 74820) and stated that the dealer was not interested in the matter. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000. Fe.
The air bag light is flashing all the time. The passinger seat airbag light on dash reads airbag off. The dealer wants to replace the passinger seat airbag parts at a cost of $2300. Nissan has recalled other cars for the same problem but not the Frontier.
Airbag light started flashing and passenger seat air bag shows "off" when occupied.
Airbag light has been turning on for no reason whether the car is parked or running. Took it to service they reset it and went on again.
The vehicle front airbag light constantly flashes for no reason. It blinks while stationary or in motion. It was reset by the Nissan service tech, but started flashing again after 5 minutes on the highway.
The airbag light is lit and will not reset. I am not sure if the airbag is operating correctly or not. I have seen several similar complaints online. The vehicle has not been involved in a collision or any other damage.
