Air Bag Light On problems of the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder

My passenger seat stopped sensing someone sitting in the seat and wouldn't turn on. Then, a couple days later the airbag light came on flashing. I was not in any kind of accident whatsoever nor was there a reason for this to happen. Medford Nissan told me they would not repair it that I had to pay 120. 00 just for them to detect what was wrong. Then they wanted me to pay to fix it. I did nothing that would cause this to happen. Scrolling through airbag complaints from the 2014 Nissan Pathfinders it looks like this is a common issue.

On 7/19/19, my car was serviced for broken passenger airbag sensor due to technician finding water bottle underneath the passenger side seat. Paid $638 for the replacement. Lesson learned, no water bottles allowed in car. Less than 2 months later, on 9/12/19, the passenger side airbag lights go on again!! brought car to service on 9/19 and technician finds clip to sensor snapped. No water bottle, no known reason why the sensor is broken. Had to pay another $189 to replace it again!! I'm tire of this pattern if you just sit in the passenger seat, or breathe there, the sensor will break!! Nissan has done a horrible job at designing a protective area around the airbag sensor!! I contacted consumer services at Nissan and they just told me they will review the case and it is not their fault after my car is no longer under warranty. I am furious and even more concerned that there will be more sensor failures and airbag malfunctions in the near future!! I feel Nissan's poor quality is disrupting my family life and my work. I can't keep going back to get this service repeatedly!! there should be an investigation & recall for this issue ASAP!!.

Car was delivered new with front headrests installed backwards. Driver's visor was snapping loudly and drooping from new. Replaced 11/14/2014. Ocs recall, attempted repair 4/23/2014, 11/14/14, 4/7/2015, 11/19/2015, 12/8/2015 and passenger side airbag light remains on always, to this day! hood has vibrated at highway speeds since new. Recall for hood latch fixed 4/7/2015. Hood still vibrates. Passenger visor replaced 2/23/2017 for same as driver�s. Driver's inner door handle broke. Couldn't open from inside. Replaced 9/10/2018 at cost of $296. 29. Multiple exterior rubber and plastic trims are loose, coming off, and interior gasket on one rear door and tailgate.

Airbag light on dash board stays on. Passenger side airbag light will not turn off.

�tamara recall. � passenger side airbag light stays lit all the time even when an adult sits in seat.

Passenger airbag light (indicating airbag off) remains on at times when adult passenger present. Also, light often goes off when no passenger present. This is the opposite of what it should be. Car has been returned to dealer many times, but problem persists.

My vehicle is reporting to me that the passenger side airbag is off. Even when a passenger is seated in the seat and the vehicle is driver, the airbag light stays on. It came on 3 months after purchase and the dealer states they will have to charge me to check the issue. It seems this is a major issue with this year and model Pathfinder. The light does not turn off. Ive tried resetting tricks and still no result.

Received a recall for OCS sensor. Brought car into Nissan premier of metairie. After repairing sensor the passenger air bag light would not go out. Car was brought back to dealer. I was told the light was supposed to stay on and only go off if it detected someone in the seat. This does not sound correct. I did not have this problem prior to having the osc software put into my vehicle. Now the airbag light stays on constantly as though there is something wrong with the passenger air bag. The light comes on whenever I am driving the car and only goes off when an adult is sitting in the passenger seat.

I have received two safety recall notices from Nissan stating that I need to take my vehicle in to get a passenger airbag issue corrected. However, I took my car to auto nation Nissan about a month ago and was advised that they would have to order a part to fix this recall and they would call me when the part came in. They did not call me and after a few weeks I called back and was told that the part has not come in yet as there are so many vehicles that need this recall and Nissan does not have the parts to handle all of the requests. I was advised that someone would call me to discuss this and I never received that phone call. My son (weight about 105 lbs) is often in the front passenger seat and sometimes the airbag light is on and sometimes it is off, so I do not trust it to function properly in the event of an accident. I simply want to have this recall handled ASAP by Nissan. Please let me know if there is anything else that can be done. Thank you, rebecca winfrey.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator inadvertently illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v244000 (air bags); however, the part needed for the repair was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The vehicle was taken to a local white plains Nissan dealer, but it could not be serviced because the parts were unavailable. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact took the vehicle to another local Nissan dealer in new rochelle where the contact was informed that they could not repaired the vehicle because the VIN indicated that the repair was already completed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000.

Vehicle has been to dealer twice for this issue and issue remains: air bag light remains on when 100 to 300 lb person sitting in passenger seat. Have received interim owner notification on NHTSA recall 16v-244. When I contacted two dealers about fixing the problem they tell me that parts aren't available. When contacting Nissan safety I am told parts will ship at the end of August. Am I to not carry a passenger until then? unacceptable. I use this vehicle for work and need to have people ride in the front seat.

Passenger side airbag off light stays on while driving with a passenger in the seat. Vehicle has to be stopped and restarted to reset the airbag light.

The airbag sensor does not consistently acknowledge there is a passenger sitting in the front passenger seat. There has been a previous recall (14v138000) for this exact issue but doesn't include my VIN. My local dealership (peoria Nissan) refused to do anything to the car since it wasn't impacted by the recall. They told me to contact Nissan corporate. I contacted Nissan consumer affairs (case # 20615944) and they told me the reason the airbag sensor doesn't recognize a passenger is because my wife weighs 120 lbs. The vehicle isn't designed to pick up an individual of that stature 100% of the time. I believe this is completely ridiculous and they just don't want to expand their previous recall. I'm in fear for the safety of my wife who routinely sits in that seat and isn't recognized by the airbag. This happens both after starting the vehicle or while driving down the road (airbag light randomly comes on identifying not in use).

Over the last 6 months the front passenger air bag light will come on occasionally indicating the air bag is not working even though there is an adult in the seat that weighs over 140 pounds. Once we drove it that way to the Nissan dealer where the service manager saw the light on but said they had no way to fix it. We have no idea if the airbag would work if in an accident. The latest incident was July 17, 2015.

Purchased pre owned 2014 Nissan Pathfinder sl 4x4 wit 30,000 miles from serra visser cullman, al Nissan dealer in may 2015. Shortly after purchase noticed passenger air bag light would malfunction (meaning showing that it was off) when someone was sitting in passenger seat. Even when no one was sitting in seat it would show air ag was active when it should be turned off. Took to same service dept. I bought vehicle from. They ran diagnostics and said vehicle was functioning as it should and to basically ignore light. I was told "trust me your air bag will activate". Now vehicle has 37,100 miles and starting to notice the cvt transmission will shudder/judder at certain speeds. Take for instance yesterday between 20-25 mph the vehicle just started to jerk significantly. Took to serra visser Nissan in cullman and they said that there was a technical service bulletin out on the problem and that it needs reprogrammed. The cost was 105 at my expense. I declined because this should fall under the power train warranty and proceeded to call Nissan consumer affairs hotline to open case about issues. I have researched online and have read hundreds of complaints about the same exact problems. It seems that none of the reprogramming, replacing transmissions, torque converters even solves the problem. Ive even read where it is a design flaw in transmission. I'm hoping they put a recall out for these issues or by back vehicles. I dont feel safe in it and certainly dont believe owners should pay to have any of these issues resolved.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. When the front passenger seat was occupied by a passenger, the air bag warning indicator illuminated intermittently. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the VIN was included in NHTSA campaign number: 16v244000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The failure mileage was unknown. Parts distribution disconnect.

Passenger air bag light stayed on with a passenger weighting 195# occuping passenger seat, light stayed on for approx 5 minutes. This is at least the fourth time light has been on for different lengths of time up to around 20 minutes at interstate speeds. Have had to Nissan dealer on 4 different occasions and been told no problem found.

The "passenger air bag light off" is illuminated even though an adult is sitting in the passenger seat. This seems to happen more frequently when the occupancy is changed while the vehicle is running. The vehicle will have to be turned off, then restarted to clear this condition. This seems to happen less frequently if the adult is sitting in the passenger seat before the vehicle is started. This has happened multiple times since our purchase. We have had to the dealer multiple times for this issue. They can't ever seem to duplicate it while they have the vehicle. They supposedly reprogram one of the computers, but this condition is still happening.

My passenger airbag light is lite when someone is sitting in seat saying the airbag will not activate. . . This still is happening even after taking it to dealer for recall. . . I took it back to them with this concern and they told me that the computer says it didn't happen. . . I have pictures . . It does it on occasion. . . Should I be concerned when the light is on and passenger is in seat? also, very bad blind spot on driver side /side view mirror and column almost hit several people. . . There should be a blind spot warning . . . . I shared concerns with dealer. . . One of the techs has a 2013 and has the same problem. . . So why wasn't it reported. . . And corrected. . . They did in the rougue.

1. Front passenger seat occupant indicator. Weight activated, irractic function. 2. Variable speed transmission shudders when the car is going up a grade or is subjected to a hard pull, up & down mountainous terrain or up over an elevated railroad crossing.

The passenger airbag off indicator light is coming on when there is a adult passenger is in the seat. After repeated complaints on it, nothing has been done by the Nissan service center to resolve the issue. I am forced to video capture every thing while driving to show it as a evidence, as they are not taking this seriously.

Passenger air bag does not detect adult in seat and suddenly turns air bag off while vehicle is moving, indicated by air bag light. The problem is intermittent and can be temporarily addressed by cycling vehicle power. Important to note is that the problem occurs after vehicle was returned to dealer due to the 2nd recall notice in this regard.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that the passenger side air bag light intermittently illuminated, although the passenger seat was occupied. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician was unable to duplicate the failure. No repairs were made and the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,500.

A) at 9+ miles shifter mechanism not recognizing I was in drive mode or started with I-key error, graduated to obd code p0850 over the next few miles. I was told the fob needed to be programmed. Cruise control not working, turned out the shifter mechanism was at fault - does not recognize vehicle is in drive more or parked or neutral. B) passenger side air bag indicator not working noticed at approx. 120 miles. Was instructed the seat needed calibration. Seat calibrated. C) told the airbag: was told the issue was possibly the weight of the passenger, how the passenger sat in the seat etc. Later told the dtc code needed to be cleared. 3 hrs later was told the air bag control module needs to be replaced. D) passenger side airbag still not working at approx. 2500 miles. Intermittent after the airbag control module is replaced. E) airbag control module replaced - airbag indicator still not working correctly, Nissan consumer affairs told me the car is not going to be recalled. I should get the vehicle fixed at a dealer. Still Nissan does not think there is any major issue with the vehicle and it is not a lemon and should not be replaced. F) read all documents related to the recall notice on NHTSA's website. None of the documents mention the passenger side seat belt indicator (audio or visual indicator). Issue is when the passenger occupancy module fails, I believe the seat belt indicator is also not working correctly either. I wrote to Nissan consumer affairs they do not seem to care, NHTSA ms. Schuler instructed me to file a complaint. I just want Nissan to acknowledge and fix the seat belt issue along with the airbag so consumers are safe. I am not sure if the shifter is related or not but it is odd several electronic components failed. Dealer wants to replace all sensors, I do not think it will fix it. Nissan insists my vehicle is not involved in any campaign.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator remained illuminated. In addition, when the seat was not occupied, the light did not remain illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the failure was inherent to the model vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 27,000.

I have taken my Nissan to the dealership 5 times now for the same issue. The airbag light comes on, indicating that the airbag is deactivated, even when I am sitting on the front passenger side of the car. I am an adult women. I brought it up to their attention - they could not duplicate the issue. I told them that it does not do it all the time. Then it happened again - I took a picture, they said the same thing and did whatever to it - kept my car for a month, I went to pick it up and it did it again, while driving. This time I took a video, called it in to Nissan, again. They called in a specialist (why they didn't do it when they had the car for a month is beyond me). He looked at it and said there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. He continued by saying that the seat belt is all I really needed anyway. That if it happens again I need to turn the car off and wait 10 sec. And the car would realign itself, that it was probably due to the way I was sitting on the seat and the car knows what to do. I am done with Nissan - they are basically telling me that when it happens, let's say on the freeway, as it has, if I want the airbag, I need to pull to the side of the freeway (dangerous), let it sit for 10 sec. And then re-join traffic(dangerous) or I keep going without the benefit of the airbag. I bought the car because I wanted a safe car for my new grandchild - the salesman can testify to this. I can't trust the car, I will not sit anyone in the front passage seat because I do not know if the airbag will work when needed - but then again, according to Nissan - "all I really need is the seatbelt".

The air bag light issue on the Nissan Pathfinder continues to be an issue for me. I have brought the car in to the service center in excess of 5 times over the course that I have had the car (purchased in October 2013) for the air bag light issue. When a passenger sits in the seat, the air bag off light may stay on during the course of the drive, indicating that the air bag is turned off. This does not happen every time a passenger is in the seat and only at random times. The service center has updated the system programming in accordance with the Nissan Pathfinder recall against the airbag issue. The service center has also replaced the air bag sensor. Over the course of time, none of these "fixes" have resolved the issue. I have come to find that it may be a programming issue with the air bag -- if a passenger is not fully seated and still at the moment the car is turned on, the sensor will not properly register the passenger weight. Typically, when the weight is undetermined or cannot be immediately read, the car will keep the air bag off light on assuming that it falls outside of the "adult weight" category. The light will remain on for at least another 10 minutes of driving when it finally re-registers the passenger weight. These types of situations can be characterized in multiple ways -- car turns on and passenger is still getting in seat; passenger sits down as the car is turning on; passenger is fully seated but slightly moves during the weight registration; etc. Regardless of the situation, when this happens, the driver can drive for a number of miles with no air bag until the sensor re-registers the passenger weight and realize an adult is in the seat. Nissan's programming of the air-bag sensor is not within the federal motor vehicle safety standards for air bag safety. I request that the NHTSA please review Nissan's air bag programming and validate safety.
