I have a 1998 Nissan Maxima in 2004 I went on a trip half way down we stop at a bank, and when we got back in the car the air bag light did not turn off, but just kept blinking. Upon returning I took the vehicle to the local dealership and they reset the light and said the passenger side air bag showed a fault (open circuit). I did not do anything to fix it at this point. The light came back on after a few months but I did not take the car in again till 2008 and wanted to replace the part that is when I found out from the service manager that there is a problem with the side airbags with this certain model. It was a connection problem with the connectors she could it a design problem. The solution was that the new air bag had one connection instead of two which solved the problem. I did not get it replace, because I felt that it is a recall issue if they knew that it was a poor design and I believe that it should be changed out at no charge especially beinging a safety restraint issue. I also had a record that came with the car that the driver side air bag had been replace not to long after I purchased the vehicle.
