Front Air Bag Sensor Control Problems of Nissan Titan

The air bag sensor went on I reset first time last about 2 months then came on again. I reset again and last 2 weeks and keep coming back on I keep resetting still on. I took to dealer, I was told due to the age of the vehicle I will have to replace the air bag. I don't understand this my corolla is 21 years old and has 191000 miles, have never had any air bag issue. I contacted Nissan north America, inc. And was receive "Nissan carefully considered your request during a review of all of the available facts pertaining to your specific situation. Nissan is unable to offer financial assistance with the repair of the airbag/airbag module due to the vehicle being outside of the new vehicle limited warranty".

Shortly after a rainstorm this vehicle (Nissan Titan 2006) was being driven late at night on an unpaved country road in the vicinity of webster parish, la. As the road was wet and the visibility was very limited it was being driven no faster than about 20 miles per hour when they ran into a rut in the road with the left front tire and that caused the airbags to deploy. When the vehicle ran into the rut in the road it tilted very slightly and then righted itself. There was no exterior damage to the vehicle and there were no injuries to the people riding in the vehicle. The vehicle was then driven to the local Nissan dealership and they contacted Nissan who said that the airbags had deployed properly and they would not pay any part of replacing them or the seat belts. The Nissan representative also said that the vehicles computer sent out an error code that the vehicle had rolled over. Also, when we discussed this issue with another Nissan trained and certified technician, we were told that 7 out of 10 Titans have issues with their computers and that the sensor under the vehicle is prone to come loose. It doesn't seem logical that a minor incident like this could cause the airbags to deploy and have to be replaced along with the seat belts unless the system in this vehicle was defective. It cost more than $5,000 to replace the airbags and the seat belts and Nissan would not pay any of this amount.

Traveling at approximately 30-35 mph, early morning, dry conditions. I set the cruise control, because I was having severe stomach pain. I leaned my head back and next thing I must have passed out. I awoke after striking a telephone pole on the opposite side of the street. The impact was dead center. The license plate is the exact shape of the pole, infact the sensor is directly behind and under the bumper from the plate. The seatbelt did not lock and the airbags neither one didn't deploy. The cruise was set, and there were no skid marks, so I must have hit the pole going 30-35 mph. The pole is approximately 3' from road. I suffered chest and back injuries, and still recovering. Luckily I'm still alive! the interior looks perfect like it never was wrecked, on the other hand the truck was totaled. The bumpers ends where literally wrapped around the pole. It was a 2007 Nissan Titan, less than a year old. I do have photos.

My wife weighed 115 and the air bag light showed the air bag system was off. Dealership says that there was nothing they could do, it was the sensor, and it was working correctly. This needed to be addressed, she was not safe while driving in the truck.

I purchased this vehicle on 5/29/06 from victory Nissan of richmond. One week later property was stolen when a sunroof was installed. At the end of June, brakes failed and passenger air bag light started going on intermittently. Also, driver seat is crooked. Dealer said they bled the brakes and clutch(?). This is an automatic. Also, there was nothing wrong with the passenger air bag (then why does light keep coming on and staying on?) and there is nothing wrong with the seat. Last night (8/15/06) my brakes failed again. Vehicle was towed to dealer this morning. I advise the service manager that these were life safety issues and should fall under the lemon law. I was advised the lemon law wasn't their problem and I would have to contact Nissan USA for assistance. Is it still not their concern when the faulty product they sold fails and causes loss of life???.

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Titan. While driving various speeds, the vehicle suddenly began to vibrate and shutter. After stopping the vehicle, the failure would suddenly cease. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the failure was caused by radiator fluid leaking into the transmission. The failure was not repaired. Also, while operating the vehicle, the air bag sensor light would blink on and off. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 150,000.

My 125 lb wife does not activate the seat sensor for the airbag in my 05 Nissan Titan. While it doesn't happen 100% of the time, it has occurred repeatedly. The dealer checked & confirmed that the system is operating normally and stated that they could do nothing more. At this point my wife is riding in our truck without an airbag. While she does wear a seat belt, I would like to have the comfort of knowing the full safety system is operational in the event of an accident. Research and other complaints posted here show that this is not an isolated problem.

I have taken my truck in twice now for the brakes and the carpet being soaking wet from the truck leaking somewhereand the passenger airbag light not turning off. They resurfaced my brakes and said the leak was from the a/c. They also told us about the brake problem with the 2004 Titans and that they would put us on a waiting list for the replacement parts. We are now taking it in again for the same problems. The floor is soaking wet and we have not ran the a/c. The brakes are shaking violently again, and not to mention the new problem of the cargo light turning on by itself when it is parked. I only have about 8300 miles on my truck and I only drive 5 miles one way to work. These are major problems that are occuring in such short time of having the truck.

Sensor for the air bag is defective. When a passenger sits in the seat, who weighs approximately 130 lbs. The air bag becomes inactive. Consumer contacted the manufacturer, who said that this was the way the vehicle was designed. On eof consumer's friends with the same vehicle make, model, and year had the same problem.

Passenger seat airbag sensor fails to recognize my 125 pound wife. Light stays on indicating the airbag will not deploy in event of crash.

The passenger side air bag has malfunctioned. As a result, the sensor light stayed on. The consumer is concerned the passenger side air bag will not deploy upon impact. The dealer states the part is on a national back order. Please provide additional information.

I have a consistently reproducible problem with the seat belt sensor for the passenger seat. 150 pound individual sitting in the passenger seat fails to engage the air bag (it is indicating that the air bag is off) about one-third of the time they ride in the vehicle. By moving in the seat and sliding forward, the sensor registers the individual and engages the air bag (shutting off the air bag is off light).

The sensor on the passenger side airbag will not activate with a 120 lb passenger.

My 120lb wife does not activate the seat sensor for the airbag in my 04 Nissan Titan. While it doesn't happen 100% of the time, it has occurred repeatedly. The dealer checked & confirmed that the system is operating normally and stated that they could do nothing more. At this point my wife is riding in our truck without an airbag. While she does wear a seatbelt, I would like to have the comfort of knowing the full safety system is operational in the event of an accident. Research and other complaints posted here show taht this is not an isolated problem.

No crashes or injuries. The advanced airbag system on our 2004 Nissan Titan disables passenger airbag when a 132 pound female is properly seated in the passenger seat. We have been able to duplicate this problem in every 2004 Nissan Titan at a local dealer's lot. Our dealer states 125 pounds on the seat sensor itself is necessary to enable the airbag, claimed there was nothing wrong and refused to run any diagnostics on the system. The Nissan website claims 47 pounds, consumer affairs states 60 pounds is necessary to enable the advanced airbag. It is unclear if this is pounds of pressure exerted on the seat sensor itself, or if a person of this physical weight, seated properly, would have an airbag. My 132 pound wife is exerting about 110 pounds of weight on the seat itself.

Passenger airbag remains turned off with 170 pound passenger. Sensor too far forward and if sitting normally doesn't activate, have to move forward on seat to activate.
