The passenger air bag warning light is flashing and the passenger air bag button that tells you that it is on and working when somebody gets in the car is off. Therefore the air bag will not deploy in a crash. The light just started flashing about 2 weeks ago approximately. There is also a recall on my vehicle for a component that could become a projectile in a crash if the air bag is deployed. This recall was made 02/09/23 and Nissan has no remedy for it. Therefore this problem is not repairable for almost 9 months. Then I have this new safety problem as well and I don't know why and I don't have the kind of money that would be charged to take it to the Nissan dealership. I feel that this is one too many recalls on this vehicle there are 5 to be exact at this time. I want Nissan to replace my vehicle with something comparable and don't think that if the airbag is inoperable or that a component could kill somebody that this car should be driven on the roads. What are they going to do about this this is not a safety issue that should just be ignored. The car is paid for its still in very good condition but for me it is now unsafe to drive or to have a passenger in my vehicle. I want some remedy for this ASAP.

I was involved in a wreck. I rear ended someone. I was doing 50 to 55 miles per hour before I hit my brakes. There wasn't enough time to slow down much. Everything I've read says if it was a front on collision more than 15mph says the air bags should deploy. I know I was going well over 15mph when I hit them. Why did they not deploy?.
The light showing the airbags are not working properly is on and flashing. It came on may23, 2018 when I turned the key on to go to the store. It never goes off.
Dealership said I have to replace the spiral cable and drivet airbag module and the cost will be 1443. 19.
Takata recall, I've been told several times that my VIN number is not part of the recall. I was recently in accident with major front end damage. I rear ended an SUV in the brooklyn battery tunnel. My speed was approx 15-25mph. My bumper cover, grill, radiator, transmission cooler, fan, fan shroud, headlight,s hood, etc have to be replaced, I've attached a picture. It should be pretty clear that the air bag should have gone off.
