Front Air Bag Sensor Control Problems of Nissan Versa

Nissan Versa 2012 has a engine problem with the mass air sensor and also the electrical probelm. My car shut off on the road while I was driving. I sent to the mechanist but they could not find the exact problem. I also sent to a Nissan dealership but the problem still remain it. I one time almost got a accident because of it.

I was notified months ago that my car was recalled because sensor pins may have deteriorated and that closing car door could cause unexpected deployment of airbags with injury or death as a result. I cannot get definitive information from the dealership and my letter of complaint to NHTSA dated 5/30/17 has not been acknowledged or answered. I am quite upset at the prospect of myself and/or a passenger being killed or injured by flying shrapnel if my sensors designed with incompatible metals are compromised. I am even more upset that I am forced to drive this timebomb and that I am unable to find out when this horrible situation will be rectified. The whole process is unsettling, disgusting, and frustrating especially since I am forced to feel stressed every time I drive and every time I try to get information let alone repair. Who cares? my family does!.

Upon starting vehicle one day in may 2017, airbag alert began to flash while driving. After looking into current recalls using the VIN, I learned of an airbag recall that applied to my vehicle. I took my vehicle to an authorized Nissan service center to have the airbag issue corrected. I picked up my vehicle and was told that the airbag recall issue had been serviced. After driving off the Nissan service light I noticed the airbag sensor still flashing so drove back to ask about the alert. I was then told that I didn't have functioning airbags, if I got into an accident they would not deploy. Only because I returned and questioned the service team, did I find out that this airbag issue was still present. The Nissan service team denied responsibility of fixing the issue or even looking into it to see if it may be related to the airbag defect. Since malfunctioning airbags could result in serious injury or death, I think this issue should be investigated. The Nissan service team completely neglected to inform me of nonfunctional airbags before returning my vehicle to me and I find this issue very alarming.

2012 Nissan Versa. Consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to repair door sensor pins deterioration recall 17v-144. The consumer stated 6 months is not a reasonable amount of time for the repair parts to become available.

When I turned on my airbag sensor light lit up and would not go out I brought the car to the dealer and the dealer told me the airbag had to be replaced dealer charge me $894 to install the airbag.

On September 8, 2016, I was driving and all of a sudden the car's steering violently pulled to the right and when I tried to correct it, the car then turned all of the way to the left, causing the car to roll over several times. Although I had my seat belt on, the pre-tensioners didn't fire to keep me from moving around and hitting my head. None of the airbags went off either, not even the ones on the driver's side curtain where the car was damaged. Afterwards, I went to the doctor and a chiropractor because I hurt my back, neck and my head. I also got a lawyer because I had not done anything wrong while driving. The steering problem just came out of nowhere. Nissan, takata, tkh and my lawyer inspected the car in March and found that none of the air bags went off, the seat belt pre-tensioners didn't activate, the car's vehicle speed sensor had a fault code, the car's intake air temperature sensor had a fault code and Nissan's engineer that was there was unable to access the power steering module with his machine. Next, we found out that the electronic power steering system can shut down due to excessive steering at slow speeds. That is bad because Nissan had a technical service bulletin that said that the car can pull to one side even when aligned based on Nissan's requirements. This means that the reason people have had steering problems is because of the car's design, Nissan's alignment requirements and the car needing to be aligned differently. Also the intake air temperature sensor can cause a car to surge and sputter, this can be why people have had problems with acceleration. There is no reason why the seat belt pretensioners didn't protect me. I also believe that the speedometer recall may be due to the vehicle speed sensor problem. My car was totaled and these things need to be investigated.

I received a recall notice in July 2016 about the air bag sensors for the passenger air bags being faulty and requiring replacement. I've called my dealership and the Nissan headquarters numerous times about getting the part replaced. Each time I call, I'm told that I have to wait another month for the part to become available. This happened in July, September, October and now in December. The last time I spoke with Nissan, they told me that the part may not be available until January or February of 2017, a full 8-9 months after having received the recall notice. I haven't been able to seat anyone in the front passenger seat since the recall notice. I have kids and need to be able to use that seat. A huge company like Nissan shouldn't string along their consumers along for close to a year to resolve a safety issue.

The sensor does not recognize that someone is sitting on the passenger front seat. This happens when it is mobile.

Whenever I'm driving alone, the light that tell me the the passenger air bag is on or off, goes on and off by itself. Yesterday I saw an article on cnn, that Nissan is recalling some vehicles because the air bag sensor in the passenger side is malfunctioning, and may prevent the air bag to not go off even if there is a passenger sitting there. The light does this only when the passenger seat is empty. If there is a passenger the light goes off and stays off. I did not see my 2012 Versa included in the article. Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
