There was a recall on this vehicle in October 2015. I called the number asked to call and was told to take it to the dealer close to me. When I did that I took the car to Nissan deals on automobile blvd in silver spring, I was told that someone has to sit on the passenger sit for the airbag light to go off. I asked what will happen when the car is due for inspection . The technician said that will take care of itself before the inspection time. As I writing thos compliant, the light is still showing and on going to the inspection, I was told that the car has failed inspection because of the airbag been disfunctional. I have called Nissan motor and they are giving me the go around and not addressing the issue of the recall that caused my car not to pass inspection. Please I need help as the recall issue was not addressed which has caused the problem now. For my Nissan Sentra 2013.
The driver airbag light stays on, on the dashboard. It turns on when I start the car and it stays on. One day it was off when I first turned on the car, but as I drove a couple of blocks it turned on. I went to a mechanic and he ran a diagnostics and it came back with code b00a0-00 occupant detection system data 4 sensor - history fault. He suggested I go back to Nissan. Nissan told me there are no recalls and I would have to first pay $180. 00 for them to run a diagnostic test and then pay for any repairs. I am concerned as this is a safety issue, I am not sure if the drivers air bag will deploy. I have never been in an accident with this car and it has low mileage about 12,200 miles. Also, I hade the front passenger air bag status light operation recall fixed in 2016.

The passenger airbag light stays on, we've taken the car to Nissan numerous times for repair all within warranty period and still hasn't been fixed. My most recent experience was with a regional consumer affairs agent named ivan who told me "we've washed our hands of it and won't help you anymore". A technician at don williamson Nissan in jacksonville north carolina told my wife as she picked the car up the last time from the service center that the airbag won't deploy with an adult in the seat because something called the OCS was programmed wrong. I won't disclose his name since he was helpful in informing us of the issue. I asked an agent on the phone just seconds ago if im suppose to wait until we have an accident and someone gets injured before they do anything about this and she replied, " I guess".
Passenger side air bag light comes on when an adult is in the seat. I had it checked at dealer and no problem found. They state it is normal.
Air bag light turn on even though it was occupied. It is not functioning the right way. 4 or 5 months ago I received a letter by mail in regards a recall on vehicle. I took it to the nearest Nissan dealership for an inspection and a computer reset. Everything was going fine until 8/14 on a Friday night we were going to a family reunion. My husband was driving as I was on the passenger seat. We noticed the air bag light turn on again. I would like to know what will be the next step to take? should I take it back to the dealership?.

Passenger airbag sensor does not detect passenger, airbag light would sporadically come on during a trip indicating the passenger airbag has been deactivated. Vehicle was taken to Nissan dealer for recall work to be performed for the same issue. The same issue arose again within a couple of weeks and I took the car back to Nissan to check the problem. The service representative told me that it may be that I or my passenger may not weigh enough for the vehicle to detect us in the seat or it could be the way the passenger sat. I explained to them that when the incident occurs, we confirm passenger is seated properly and our weight was not a problem when we have been seated as passengers in other similarly equipped vehicles I have driven or ridden in. After persisting they do something about this safety issue, they went ahead and told me they replaced a sensor in the seat. A couple of weeks after that I am still having the same problem with the passenger airbag deactivating at random times while the passenger seat is occupied. I have gone back to Nissan and they keep telling me they can find nothing wrong every time. I am very concerned as this presents a serious safety risk that may cause the vehicle to malfunction in the event of a collision.
Passenger air bag lights up stating air bags are off even though there is an adult sitting in passenger seat. Took in today to Nissan dealer they said it was something normal. I insisted for them to note it in their system that I took it in for that reason. They decided to keep my car to run tests.
I bought my Nissan Sentra sv on November 18, 2013 and the next day I had to take it back to the dealer to check the light indicating low pressure in tire(s). The second time I took the car into Nissan dealership was on December 18, 2014 when my vehicle air bag light kept disengaging when my husband was seated on the passenger seat. Justin, who I told what was happening with the air bag light turning off, had the auto tech look at and after the vehicle was done being checked I was told that everything was okay. Justin showed me that it was working properly, but when he sat in the passenger seat and the light went off and he tried several time to engage it didn't work, so he went back to talk to the tech and came back and told me that it's okay and to monitor it. Now, I receive a recall notice letting me know about the same problem that I took my car in several months ago and told nothing was wrong with it. Seriously, what happened if I was in an accident and the airbag didn't work properly and some one got hurt or worst killed. A life can't be replaced, but a car can. I hope that when I take the car into the dealership I don't get the run around and being told nothing is wrong.
Two days after I bought this 2013 Nissan Sentra. When sister (120 bl) sit in the passenger seat and the passenger side airbag light was on, after couple minutes the light went off. Later on, the light on again. I check the user's manu, it said if the airbag light on which means the airbag is not in working condition, if I have a crash, the passenger will not got any airbag protection. I went back to the dealer's service department and the mechanic said it was common, just because the airbag sensor under the "new designed" seat was not so sensitive,and he said my sister is not heavy enough(120 bl) to make the airbag work. The reason that the airbag light on and off was because my sister did not sit properly. But when I ask why this situation never happen in my other cars. He could not say anything. He told me the car was designed like this. He did not do anything and he just sent me home that day. I got a call from their customer service today. They said they knew there was a recall about the passenger airbag issue, but my car was not in that category, even my car have the same problem as the recall issued. What a joke!!! it seems they will not do nothing untill someone got injuried. It is a safty issue, if I can not get a good solution, this car will be my first and last Nissan ever. I feel so disapoint!!! I hope Nissan will not be a second ''Toyota".

I purchased the vehicle in April. Two months later I realized that when in drive when I set my foot on the brake I would hear a grinding noise in the back of the car. When I would put it in reverse the noise would not occur. It was always when I would hit the breaks until the car came to a complete stop. It would not make the noise when I hit the breaks suddenly. When I called Nissan and brought it in for them I was told that it was a fluid problem. After 2 weeks the noise began again, now it has stopped and goes on and off. Also I have noticed that the indicator for the passenger air bag will be off at times when there is an adult sitting in the seat. This also happens on and off. I have had it though, where the indicator has come on saying the air bag is off for 3 days in a row, having someone sitting in it. The third problem is that the windshield wiper fluid does not spray correctly. It pools at the bottom of the windshield and so it does not clean it correctly. Finally the last problem is that I have noticed when I fill up the gas tank the amount of miles I get are different every time. I have a particular routine everyday and every weekend. At times it seems I have more gas than when I have filled it up before. When I have used the eco button at times, it seems that once in a while it will work the way it is supposed too. Most of the time it seems that the car just guzzles gas more than usual.
Recalled at 3/16/2014 : for airbag persistent airbag light on indicated passenger front seat airbag off since I bought this new car at alhambra Nissan in Jan 2013. Continue to have this issue after few months I purchased it. Multiple time I have brought this car to dealership to repair , car fail to be repaired. Fair to repaired even after recall at 3/16/2014. Still having the same issue now.
Purchased 2013 Nissan Sentra in late Feb 2013. Within a few weeks the passenger air bag light came on while I had my wife or my son the car. Both are around 140 pounds. I have everything reset/reprogrammed at the dealership. Worked fine for a few more weeks, then same problem. Had the recall work done. Work fine for another few weeks, then same problem. I have had this brand new car back 6 times to the dealership. They have done everyhting they know to do. I have provided videos to them each time it happens. Most recent time (#7) happened a week or so ago (no in Aug 2013). Was on about a 15 minute trip with my son in the car and the light was on the entire time. Dealership asked me to bring the car in to check the codes. Now, miraculously, there are no codes, so Nissan is telling them that nothing is wrong with my car. Meanwhile, I continue to take videos of the incidents as they happen. But, no one can help. Now in the process of demanding a new car from the dealership with no money out of my pocket since this happened very soon after buying. I doubt I'll get satisfaction. First people to be sued if I'm ever in an accident and that air bag doesn't open will be the dealership and Nissan. Do the right thing and stand behind your products and trust loyal customers who have all the proof needed!.
Passenger airbag off light staying on regardless of whether or not there is a person over 100lbs in the passenger seat. Air bag indicator light staying on the dashboard, while it is supposed to turn off after 7 seconds. I took the car into the dealership on Tuesday 2/26/13. . They said it is a faulty censor and that the passenger seat cushion needs to be replaced, however the parts are on backorder with no definite time line.
