Failure Date: 11/05/2017

Have a 1997 Nissan Sentra 1. 6 x e four-door sedan. This morning starting the vehicle I noticed the airbag light stayed on and begin to blank and would not shut off after further inspection I realize that no one had made any contact with my vehicle sitting in my driveway the vehicle is at 227xxx miles but I would never expect for a safety restraint system to expire or malfunction I really hope that Nissan takes this into consideration.

The air bag light keeps flashing. My grandmother took it to the dealer and they said it needed to be reset, she drove off and a mile later the light came back on. I have not taken it back to the dealer yet, but I see other drivers are reporting the same problem with this car. I googled how to reset it, did it myself, but as soon as you start driving it comes back on.

45 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2008 Nissan Sentra

Failure Date: 02/05/2017

Airbag blinking on dashboard due to passenger side seat airbag sensor malfunction and/or failure. My wife has purchased the vehicle used, and we happened to have accident hit by other car on the driver side door while I had been trying to get back home on the weekend after grocery shopping trip with my whole family at 02/05/2017. It happened at the service road of sh 121 TX. While I was turning left on the straight/left lane on green light. After the accident, none of the airbags were deployed but somehow the airbag light started blinking on the dash board, of course we took it to the repair shop and the service adviser has explained that airbag sensor on passenger seat was malfunctioning and they would have it fixed. So we thought we got it fixed, and drove it around for a few months. And somewhere around June, the airbag light on dash board came again and we've tried to summit the supplement for the airbag issue, and had it diagnosed by autonation Nissan at lewisville TX and the insurance company denied the supplement request because the autonation Nissan has stated that "airbag malfunctioning on Nissan Sentra is a common problem" and for that reason the supplement was denied, and it got me thinking that if it's the common problem as the service adviser of the Nissan stated, then why won't Nissan issue recall order for such an critical issue that may cause catastrophic event if it keeps malfunctioning? I would like NHTSA to have proper investigation on this matter. . . Because if the airbag sensor malfunction is not related to the accident I had, then Nissan is not caring about the lives of people who drives the same model vehicle as my Sentra. . .

46 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2015 Nissan Sentra

Failure Date: 02/04/2017

When passengers sit in front seat, intermittently the airbag lights goes on and off. Don't know if the airbag is really going to work when it is supposed to. Taken to dealer and they say nothing wrong, but obviously there is something wrong when 200 pound person sitting there and the airbag says it is turned off. Dealer won't do anything to fix the problem. Tells me the car is safe. I don't feel it is safe and now feel I have to take picture of airbag notification when driving just in case of an accident to protect myself. Shouldn't have to have a vehicle that has safety features that don't work properly. This type of problem occurs whether the car is running or not running when the passenger gets in.

49 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2014 Nissan Sentra

Failure Date: 11/26/2016

I reported this problem to Nissan February 2015. They have not been able to fix this yet. Nhtsa campaign number: 16v244000 last time I brought my vehicle in Nov 28, I gave them a video I had taken of the passenger air bag light indicating the airbag was disabled on Nov 26 during a trip from san francisco to la. The passenger air bag was disabled during 120 miles of the trip. The technician said that this can happen if I move, like lifting your butt to remove your wallet out of your back pocket, I just have to pull the vehicle over to the side of the road, turn it off, wait for a minute and start it again. I pointed out how ridiculous that statement was. So what happens if you drive on a bumpy road? he responded: ok, we will reset the sensor but it will probably not solve the problem. He was right in that, same evening the passenger air bag got disabled again. I have several videos of the air bag being disabled at multiple occasions while driving on streets and highways. The car have now been in twice for Nissan to fix this problem. But they don't seem to have the ability to do just that.

50 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2015 Nissan Sentra

Failure Date: 10/27/2016

My car had a recall on the passenger seat belt, I took it to the dealer to be fixed and after they did, they told me that the airbag light will stay on until someone over 100 pounds sets there then it will turn off, and they told me that the red seat belt light on the dash board will stay on all the time, and yes I still have this problem with my car, both lights are on all the time and the dealer is not doing anything about it. If my car dose not detect any one hows less than 100 pounds on the passenger side that means my car is not safe at all.

Failure Date: 09/16/2016

Passenger front airbag light does not go off (indicating airbag is on) when passenger sits in seat. This is intermittent problem as it will sometimes go off and sometimes not. Multiple trips to dealer and calls to Nissan customer relations have not resolved issue. Were told on last contact nothing could be done. Passenger weighs 118 lbs. And this is not a problem when she rides in other vehicles, I. E. Hyundai santa fe and Subaru outback. Case #24255363 with customer relations. Byerely Ford-Nissan, louisville, ky is dealer. In the event of an accident this is a safety issue should the airbag fail to operate.

57 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2008 Nissan Sentra

Failure Date: 07/28/2016

My 2008 Nissan Sentra air bag light came on in the past and I had it reset by the dealer. It stayed out for a long period of time. Later when it came on again, I learned how to reset it myself using the ignition key and I did so with success. The light would stay out for at first a month or two, then it became a week or two, but now the light comes on and my resetting it will only last for less than a day. So I took the car to the dealer this week. The dealer advised me that it is a faulty air bag. The dealer did a diagnosis/inspection and found code 81134. The dealer advised me to replace the left side seat assembly and that it would cost me approximately $3,400 to do so. Is this possible for a 2008 Nissan with only 56,000 miles on it? the air bags for this model are not on the recall list, but I'm questioning if they should be.

Failure Date: 04/11/2016

Passenger side airbag indicator light goes on and off. Does not recognize when a 135 pound person is sitting in the passenger seat. Noticed the recall on NHTSA and took the vehicle to streater smith Nissan in conroe texas.
