On Dec 12, 107 my 2012 Maxima had a side airbag sensor replaced (dealer replaced air bag control unit fp-number 98820-9n09c). The airbag light on the passenger side would not go off after the car started. The warning light stayed on regardless if the car was still or moving or whether there was a passenger in the car or not. In September of 2018 the exact same warning light returned which makes me think that there is a larger airbag problem at hand.

This is reference to two situation concerning Nissan recalls. In 2014 I took my car to sansone Nissan dealer on rt 1, NJ to take care of the airbag recall issue NHTSA ref#15v287000. My airbag light was not on when I took it to the dealer, after I came home a week later the airbag light came on. I don't think the dealer took care of the recall issue, if they did my airbag light would not be on. I would like Nissan to give authorization to the dealer to correct this problem. My second issue was on Jan 2016, I was driving to work, all of a sudden the car shut off on me, the brake lock up and all I could do was stair to the side of the road. . I was lucky that there wasn't any oncoming traffic. I had to call the tow truck to have my car towed but before the tow truck came I tried starting the car again and it started. I was a few minutes from home, so I drove back home and I had my local mechanic picked it up and did a diagnosis on it. He said it was the crank position sensor, I purchased it and he installed it. The car started working a little better but my service engine soon warning light is still on. I did a little investigation and found out that there was a recall for engine and engine cooling recall #03v455000. I read it and found that the consequence on the recall is the exact same thing that happen to me. Again sansone dealer on rt. 1 in NJ is claiming that they took care of this issue but I was never told that this was a recall by Nissan. I wanted Nissan to correct this problem based on the fix under NHTSA ref# 03v455000. I've been taking car of all the maintenance on my car since I purchased it from Nissan but I feel that Nissan is responsible for these two issue, since it was defect in design on their end.

Air bag warning light turns on even after clearing soluspro scanner code, "b1049 driver air bag module (open)". I am concerned my driver's side air bag will spontaneously release or not release at all when needed. If something happens to the driver, all passengers are at risk of fatal injury. I contacted Nissan north America, and was told the diagnostic had to be run by a dealer mechanic before they can do anything. They also informed me that there is no campaign currently open for my issues. The body issue has to do with poor paint or clear coat quality common to Nissan vehicles. While the rest of my car looks fine, the hood and the roof look horrible. Like someone took sanding paper to the clear coat and the color is faded and getting worse as time passes. I am very disappointed in Nissan for this cosmetic detail. I traded in my 2005 Nissan Maxima because the roof liner sagged as soon as I began driving with the sunroof open. I hope that the results of the air bag issue are as minor as the cosmetic issues, otherwise Nissan is going to have some serious problems on there hands.
Airbag warning light comes on in sub-zero weather and stays on. Does not go off until temperature warms up. On 12/31/2014, at -35 degrees this occured and stayed active my entire drive to work. On 01/01/2015 at -10 degrees the warning light again came on and stayed on. The warning light clears as soon as the outside temperature increases. Dealer wants to see car at their facility. By the time I would get to their facility, the outside temperature will have risen and the light will be off. I am concerned I have no airbag protection in sub-zero conditions.

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Maxima. While driving approximately 30 mph, the air bag warning light illuminated continuously. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.
Airbag warning light won't turn off. I'm worried it will spontaneously deploy at anytime. It is the opinion of various car wash establishments that roof and hood paint is a common defect on Nissan vehicles, including Mini-vans. My car's hood and roof look like I've lived by the sea for years. Truth is that I've always lived inland. There's no reason why my car should look 20 years old!.
Airbag warning light malfunction about 123,500 miles on my Nissan Maxima 2007. I am no longer a happy Nissan owner, I will never purchase a Nissan again. I've had my catalyst converter fail on me nothing, but a money pit.

I am the owner of a 2002 Nissan Maxima. The air bag warning light came and I took it to the dealer for repair. In my owners manual it states that seat belts and related systems are covered for the life of the vehicle. The service manager said that the parts are not covered. The air bags are directly related to the seat belt system. As long as the warning light is activated the air bag and seat belts will not operate. This unit is designed to only operate when there is a collision, and the vehicle has never been in an accident. The dealership is requiring a payment of $2800. 00 for the repair. Part numbers y851m-5y800, 25567ar227, and 28556-5y725 the vehicle only has 53000 mile on it and has been very well maintained. It should be the manufacturer's responsibility to cover this device on the warranty.

9/02 - within a 90 mile drive:tachometer, speedometer and temperature gauge shut off while I was driving at high speeds. Air bag light was also flashing. Then they would either turn back on by themselves or while I was standing still the speedometer would be stuck at 100mph. Further into the drive engine would shut off by itself losing brakes and power steering driving at speeds 0-40mph. First we repaced the battery then took it to Nissan where they found "internal failure dash circuit board" which was replaced along with the left side seat air bag harness. 1/03 - battery and brake lights came on. The car began sputtering and every other warning light was lit. Then the car would drive fine and did not shut off. The alternator was replaced this time. 7/6/03 - speedometer,tachometer and odometer shut off for entire 2 1/2 hour trip. Today 7/7 everything is fine (so far).
