Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2008 Nissan Sentra

Airbag light flashes constantly on dash panel. Came on while driving and will not go out. Has been reset but comes back on after driving within short distance. Car has not been wrecked in front and I am original owner. Concerned for our safety as we are afraid airbag may not deploy in case of an accident. We do not believe safety equipment should fail so quickly. Also see online where many other owners are experienceing same problem. Would like to see a recall to fix this safety issue. Thank you.

I was in an accident, and air bag failed to deploy. Brakes may have not been repaired to full functional capacity from the dealership when serviced which resulted in not braking in time and loss of control of vehicle. I looked up the vehicle on a Nissan recall website and found out that it's one of the ones on the recall list.

The vehicle hydro planned and then flipped over and landed on the roof. The air bags failed to deploy with the massive impact. A police report was filed of the incident.

The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Sentra. While driving 20 mph in foggy weather conditions, he crashed into an embankment. The vehicle was completely destroyed and the air bags failed to deploy. The seat belt also constricted his ability to move and eventually he was able to open the seat belt. The contact suffered internal bruising. The cause of the failures were unknown. The failure and current mileages were 16,000. Updated 10/26/09. Approximately 30 seconds after the impact, the air bags deployed; simultaneously the seat belt began to tighten. The seat belt did not stop tightening until it broke. It broke from the floor exposing a long cable and other wires. The buckle was still attached. The seat belt caused deep internal bruising.

My daughter was in a bad wreck hit an embankment head on and rolled the car then flip up side down the airbags did not deploy. I have reported it to Nissan. Now the have a recall on the airbags as of April 6 but no notices have been sent out to anyone yet.

The failure recurred and the dealer diagnosed that the passenger side seat belt failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was diagnoised a third time for an electrical failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 112,000.
