1 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 03/14/2021

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.

5 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2015 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 11/10/2019

Couple of things, first the front passenger air bag is set to off when there is an adult sitting there, and I have a blinking airbag light, at all times no matter what. Second, there is a loud noise coming from the engine when I turn my heater on. I can also feel the vibration when I'm still. The SUV only has about 44k miles. I see this is a common issue that has not been addressed. I'm definitely disappointed.

9 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 09/14/2019

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!!.

10 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 08/13/2019

The airbag system is not functioning properly. The srs light is flashing on the dash. The air bag light will not detect a passenger weighing over 150 lbs. The problem was addressed with a recall. In may of 2018, the problem was temporarily fixed by replacing the acu diag unit, the air bag press detection module assembly, the occupant sensor, and the air bag pressure detection sensor. The problem is occurring again just over a year later. This problems occurs in all driving conditions at all times. The flashing light suppresses the air bag system meaning an air bag will not work as it should during an accident. This leaves my family and I at risk of injury or death if an accident was to occur. The reoccurrence of the problem took place on August 13, 2009. The original problem was addressed on may, 9, 2018.

21 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 09/12/2018

I bought a brand new 2013 Nissan Pathfinder in March of 2013. Within 6 months I noticed there was jerking with the transmission. I took it back to preston Nissan in maryland and was told they had received a bulletin and the transmission needed to be reprogrammed. They reprogrammed the transmission and it helped a little but a few months later it was doing the same thing. I took it back to preston Nissan. There I was told that they could not duplicate the problem and that they would reprogram it again. It did not help. I could not afford to keep taking it back, because they charge me every time to keep telling me there was nothing wrong. My car began to not accelerate when I was making a turn or when I was accelerating in traffic. We took it back to preston and we were told that they had put a device in to monitor the transmission as well as reprogrammed it again. My car continued to judder and shake and fail to accelerate. There was a class action lawsuit filed and Nissan extended the warranties to 84,000 miles. My car is now at 87,000 and a Nissan dealership in michigan is now stating that it needs a new transmission and a cooling fan. Nissan corporate office is now telling me that they will pay 90% of the fan and only 50% of the transmission. I bought the extended warranty when I purchased the car. The transmission is not the only thing wrong with this car. It has been one thing after the other. Door lock motor, visor, hood release, trunk latch, brake lights remain on when car is off, airbag indicator. . . The list goes on and on.

27 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 07/16/2018

Our Pathfinder has been recalled twice for passenger side airbag malfunctions. Despite having been "repaired" on both occasions, the airbag light started flashing. Nissan is now informing us that the entire airbag system is defective, yet they maintain that this issue is unrelated to the prior recalls and as such, have refused to cover the cost of repair. In addition, the visors on both the driver and passenger sides have broken and are sagging, impairing vision during vehicle operation. In researching solutions, we have discovered that both issues are common complaints for drivers of our specific model Pathfinder, yet Nissan seems to be doing nothing to fix these recurrent defects.

30 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2008 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 04/03/2018

Airbag light had come on indicating an issue, but also light and controls on the steering wheel are failing. Vehicle has never been in an accident and there is no reason for this failure. Abs brakes activate randomly without warning preventing and causing the inability to stop. Abs can not be stopped unless I stop and turn off my vehicle and start again. Very dangerous. Cant stop when I need to. During city driving on a dry surface and approaching a stop light my brakes failed several times with the abs activating and making it impossible to stop. Random and without warning. Front differential cracked for no apparent reason and didn't provide any warnings, pinion seal leak appeared less than two years. In addition vehicle was in service for evap system 11 times in the first year without resolve. Gad consumptions was horrible and below any suggested mpg. Tire sensors have never worked and failed to alert low pressure in tires. Tire pressure has been unstable no mater what tires are installed or how many sensors are put on. Stability in steering is sloppy when going over any kind of bump in the road. Unstable when driving. Speed can cause problems when driving curves. Rollovers are definitely possible without much speed when on ramps and curves. Use extreme caution.

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.
