The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Xterra. The contact stated that he received an unknown Nissan manufacturer safety campaign notice in reference to the air bags. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (denny menholt billings Nissan 2100 king Ave w, billings, mt 59012) where the vehicle was serviced. The contact stated that the air bag warning sensor remained illuminated after the repair. A week later, the vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the sensor needed to be replaced. The sensor was not replaced due to the cost of the part. The manufacturer was not contacted or made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000.

Air bag sensor light starts blinking after engine startup and continues to blink until engine is turned off. Sent email to Nissan in Dec 2013 regarding this issue and they indicated "a review of our system indicates that the above-referenced vehicle is not currently involved in any recalls or service campaigns. " I find it hard to believe this is not a Nissan issue when there have been air bag sensor recalls in 2005, 2006, 2007 ,2008 ,2009, and 2010.

The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Xterra. The contact was driving 20 mph when the vehicle started to jerk violently and there was an abnormal increase in engine rpms before shifting into gear. The contact also mentioned that the air bag warning lamp was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the radiator and transmission fluids had mixed erroneously and both the transmission and the radiator would need to be replaced. In addition, the belt tension sensor would also need to be replaced in order to repair the air bag system. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who offered to waive the fee of diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 70,000 and the current mileage was 87,000.

The airbag deactivator sensor, located inside the passenger side seat of our Nissan Xterra leaked the fluid inside the car. Our first indication of a problem was a burning feeling in the throat, nose and eyes. The coins in the car turned green. We discovered the leak and removed the seat from the car. The local dealership did not know what was in the fluid filled sensor and made no attempt to find out. Our insurance company has been trying for 2 weeks to get an answer from Nissan on this product with no results. The repair shop has never seen this issue and has not been able to find out what is in the sensor bag. The inside of the car has corroded, rusting all metal inside the car. This damage is continuing since the seat was removed destroying all metal inside the car. The car has been deemed a write off by the insurance company. Everyone with exposure to this fluid that created a gas in the car, has had an ongoing throat burning and headaches. We have a contact person at Nissan America but they have not contacted us with any information on the product.

Nissan is not willing to honor the recall on air bag crash sensor. I live in nevada they say that road salt is not used in this state yet I work for the dept. Of transportations and personally ordered over 1000 tons of salt to be applied to the roads in my section alone this year. I have called them and they will not reconsider.
