Air Bag Problems of Nissan Quest - part 1

Air bag light went off beginning of Nov 2023. Took to the dealership, they diagnosed the air bag module and harness as bad. Paid $2k to replace that, took 2 days for part to arrive. Fast forward, mid December 2023, air bag light on again. Take back to dealership and now the passenger side air bag has failed and needs to be replaced. $3k estimated to replace. Many Nissan vehicles (much later year models) have passenger side air bag recalls. This should be under recall as well as the module.

The passenger side curtain airbag spontaneously stopped working. The airbag warning light started flashing on the dashboard, and we took it in to the dealership. They reset the code warning, but the light came on again. They said they needed to replace the airbag after trying to replace the sensor and having the same issue. The van has not been in any accidents or had any side impacts and has about 72,000 miles on it. Nissan refuses to cover any part of the $3,000 repair cost since the manufacturer warranty expires at 60,000 miles. The dealership advised us that since there's an issue with one airbag, it's possible that no airbags would deploy in the event of a crash. So the airbag or airbag system is faulty and possibly has been all along, but we just now got the warning light. Obviously driving a car without working airbags is incredibly unsafe, and Nissan doesn't seem to think they should have to stand behind their products or consumers to fix the issue and ensure their safety.

Alarm beeps when set but does not sound if car is broken into. Car was parked. Power sliding door does not always shut when power button is pushed. Does not always lock and latch as well. Door flew open while driving on the freeway. Also when closing does not stop if someone is in the way. Caught my four yr old daughter's leg and shut on it. Tire pressure light constantly comes on even when tires are completely aired up. Back rear door does not always open whether button inside van or remote key is pushed. Has to forcefully be opened and shut. Sometimes will slam shut and it has fallen on my back before. Many electrical functions within the dash and console do not always work or register. Does not register for oil, coolant, or temp.

My husband was excelerating after being at a complete stop at a sign and there was an exhaust pipe in the middle of the road. The pipe hit our muffler and after about 500 yards, both the passenger and driver's airbag deployed and the car alarm went off for 15-20 minutes. After having the van towed to an autobody shop, they could only find one point of impact in the muffler. We spoke to Nissan and were told that there was no known issues and they would not do anything about the issue. Our insurance is now totalling the vehicle.

Driving on a local single lane road in the early evening (dusk) and the weather was clear and dry. The drivers air bag deployed. There was no impact with the vehicle.

We bought our Quest used from a Honda dealership in December 2008. We were told it was in very good condition. The electric doors do not always open or close when we want them to. . . They seem to have a mind of their own. The passenger airbags turn themselves on and off. After only driving it for a few months, the front end started popping when we would turn a corner. We checked the lower ball joints, being as this is a typical characteristic. There was no problem with them. We continued to drive it. About 3 months ago, the van started shaking real bad when we would brake, and the front tires started lifting tread. We took the van to a mechanic to check the alignment and source of shaking. He told us the alignment was fine. . . No adjustments were needed. He said the popping was the ball joints. We bought two new ball joints, and upon removing the control arm and ball joint assembly, we realized the problem was in the rear bushing of the front control arm, not the ball joint. The rubber is rotted out. You can not see this problem until you remove the whole arm. I was told I had to hit a curb really hard to break these, but have not hit any curbs hard ever in this van. I feel the dealer should have to fix this, since I have noticed this is an extrememly reoccuring problem with this year/make/model. Upon replacing the tires, the new ones treads are lifting. They were replaced 6 weeks ago.

5/10/08-just had a front end collision in our 2004 Nissan Quest minivan carrying myself, husband & 3 children-one in a carseat. Driver in other vehicle failed to yield to my right of way and impact was made by my van to the side of her car with me going approx. 35mph and she was going about the same. My body came forward even with the seatbelt buckled, my sons chests are bruised from the seatbelts and none. . . None. . . Of the airbags in that van deployed!!! we bought the van for safety reasons! we purchased it because of the side curtain airbags & not even the front airbags deployed! I want this looked into and I want some answers as to why they didn't deploy. Were there even airbags in the van? obviously we haven't seen the damage in daylight hours, but at those speeds and since we hit head on at the very least the airbags in front should have deployed. Thank you.

On 1-11-08 I was involved in a single car collision in my 2004 Nissan Quest. I was avoiding another vehicle and swerved into a cement barrier wal, head on. I then tried to correct the vehicle and struck the right front bumper into another cement wall. Neither airbag deployed. My vehicle has been looked at by progressive and a body shop, plus sent for diagnostics to a Nissan dealer. Everyone agrees the airbags should have deployed.

Consumer experiencing delays in having the recall repairs performed on the 2004 Nissan Quest. The consumer received 2 recall in the last 6 months. The last on was received January 2005 but the dealer hasn't contacted them to bring the vehicle in to correct the problem due to lack of parts.

While driving. The air bag deployed with out warning. Please provide any further information.

Consumer received NHTSA recall 04v103000. Took vehicle to the dealership and recall failed. The advanced air bag requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 208, occupant crash protection. Air bag for the front passenger seat was to be turned off when certain occupants, such as small children, were in the front seat.

When an adult sits in the front passenger's seat the air bag would shut off. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. Consumer is a 128 pound adult.

My wife was driving approximately 40 mph in a 45 mph zone. A vehicle in front of her had to make a sudden stop due to another motorist in front of it was turning left and she applied the brakes and could not stop in time and she rear ended the driver in front of her. Neither air bag deployed in the 1999 Nissan Quest. We have contacted our insurance company (american family) and the adjuster sadi that the air bags shouldn't have deployed due the crash of the vehicle and the way it hit. My wife sustained injuries of her back and neck in this crash and we believe the air bags should have deployed. We contacted Nissan and they also said the bags should not have deployed due to not enough force of some ball bearing used to activate the air bags. They (Nissan) sent us a vhs tape on air bags, but declined to send someone out to investigate the vehicle. We still have the vehicle in our driveway and would be grateful of any and all help your agency could provide.

1997 Nissan Quest. Neither driver or passenger airbag deployed in the accident.

Involved in a low impact auto accident (probably less than 40 mph because air bags weren't even deployed, no injuries whatsoever sustained by myself and other driver, miniscule damage to other vehicle) in 11/01. Immediately car was on fire which resulted in total loss of vehicle. Alleging that the Nissan Quest is inherently unsafe due to poor frontal design of vehicle (see results of insurance institute for highway safety crash test results) - this is result of minivan catching fire so easily and rapidly. Attempts to resolve matter with Nissan ignored (asked for replacement of items lost in car/amt not covered by gap insurance, approx. $5000 total). Now will seek recovery of funds via lawsuit.

This are just the major things. I have spend around 7000. 00 on this Quest for repairs and up keep. I brought it new in may of 1996. Never again.

The srs airbag system module located under the drivers side dash is defective. This is a problem which is well known on the 1996 Quest. The vehicle owner becomes aware of the problem by the red dash indictor light blinking on and off. Nissan is aware of the srs system failure but will not cover replacement for this part unless vehicle is under warranty. This is a chronic failure of the airbag system and Nissan should be held accountable for it.

Consumer was involved in an accident where the vehicle ran off the road and hit a tree, both airbags deployed, however the consumer still sustained injuries, consumer feels that the airbags are useless and that they barely covered the steering wheel providing little protection.
