Two problems related to side/window air bag have been reported for the 2013 Nissan Frontier. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2013 Nissan Frontier based on all problems reported for the 2013 Frontier.
The side airbags deploy too easily in Frontier trucks, all without need of a crash Nissan won't cover the damages under warranty and refuses to reimburse owners who must pay out-of-pocket for repairs. Nissan does have a program to reprogram the air bag diagnosis sensor unit but will not cover the reinstall of the side curtain aid bags. The air bags are going off because of a false reading from the sensor unit. My Frontiers side curtain air bags deployed at 5mph on a flat surface.
Side air bags deployed with no impact of vehicle. Nissan claimed the vehicle was at an angle that required the bags to deploy. The vehicle is a 4x4 truck and was not at any angle that required the air bags to deploy. Speed was 10mph on a flat dirt road. Even though the vehicle only had 9000 miles the $4500. 00 was not covered under bumper to bumper warranty.
