My vehicle air bag light came on the dashboard over the weekend as I was driving with my family. I contacted my dealer I purchased from to see if a recall existed. They informed me that my VIN number was not affected even though other Pathfinders did receive a recall. I believe mine should have one as well since this is a safety hazard to me and my family!!!!!.

Our airbag light started blinking so we brought it in for service to the Nissan dealership. They originally couldn't find anything wrong, reset the code and sent us on our way (not without trying to charge us $40 diagnostic fee). After a few hundred miles the light came on again. This time they told us the passenger airbag sensor was faulty and we'd have to replace the entire seat back at the tune of over $1000. We purchased the best warranty package you could get and it covers everything but the airbag sensor. Why would they single out that one thing to not be covered?.

The contact stated that three months prior to this incident, the airbag light would illuminate. The dealer performed an airbag sensor test, and stated that the defect was correct.
