2 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2023

The car's airbag dashboard light has been on and blinking for about a month now- indicating an issue. I have not been in any recent accidents and it appeared on its own. Subsequently, the car horn does not work. Airbags and car horn are necessary to prevent accidents and serious injury, including death in the event of an accident. I advised my local Nissan dealership who stated there are no current recalls and the car would need to be inspected- which will likely be costly. No inspections have been made at this time.

There the code of p1778 that keeps coming up on about a cvt and ifs affecting the drive and strain the transmission I dont understand the issue is recurring. And this happen while driving on the highway. You can feel the car hesitant.

4 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 10/03/2019

Vehicle air bag began flashing and horn stopped working when pressed.

5 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2019

Air bag light remains on and blinking continously. The horn also stopped working. Feels very unsafe driving without a horn. Since both the airbag and horn are in the steering wheel and reading through several other similar complaints I would assume they are related. Should be recalled as many other Nissans have been recalled with the same issue.

6 Equipment problem

Airbag light flashing, then horn didn't work; now the cruise control is not working. I see several similar problems noted in the database. Several close calls without the horn.

My air bag light will not go off it was idle when it came in but it is constantly blinking , the horn completely stopped working the first time when I was turning the corner, I generally replaced it twice but it stopped working again, and again, and as I was sitting idle my check engine light came on even after I have been keeping the maintenance up on it.

11 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/24/2013

Driving down highway with nearest vehicle several hundred feet away when the sunroof glass appeared to have "exploded". There was a very load noise followed by tthe sound of small pieces of glass sliding across the hood and trunk. Did not see any projectile (I. E. Stone) that might have hit the sunroof. The glass appears to have been blown out as opposed to an implosion due to being hit by a projectile.
