“I purchased my 2017 Armada in may of 2000 and my airbag light has been blinking off and on. I took it to a Nissan dealership and they told me that it could be my cabin airbag or my side panel. They said they checked my modular under seat panel and they said it wasn't any wires loose but what ever they did it stopped my air bag light for blinking but they said it will come back on and it did. Now it's time for my car to get inspected this month .what can I do”
NHTSA complaint #11406572, filed 2021-04, 70,000 miles“Flashing airbag warning light. Car has never been in an accident.obd code indicated error in side curtain airbag. Dealer replace side curtain airbag. Flashing airbag warning light returned. Obd code indicated same error as before for side curtain airbag. Light occurred during normal driving. Car has low mileage, approximately 17000 miles. Dealer can't determine cause of light or how to correct it.”
NHTSA complaint #11331742, filed 2020-06, 17,000 miles“Left side driver air bag. Air bag light on. Repair to replace airbag needed at a cost of approximately $2,000 in order to get Massachusetts state inspection sticker. One week later, light back on, now estimate from dealer for $3,400 to replace the harness that the airbag sits in. We can't afford to get this second repair. Should manufacturers be responsible for a required safety feature such as an airbag? We won't be able to get it inspected next year with the blinking airbag light on. …”
NHTSA complaint #11582569, filed 2024-04“My husband and I were in 2 front end collisions in my 2017 Nissan Armada and were going at least 50+ mph when someone pulled out in front of us and we t-boned a full size pick up truck. The airbags failed to deploy both times which is extremely alarming to me. We both made it out okay but have severe back and leg pain and constant headaches. We were lucky. It could have been much worse but if airbags would have deployed, it wouldn’t have been so bad. This needs to be addressed asap.”
NHTSA complaint #11447435, filed 2022-01“The airbag light on the dash started blinking in 12/2020 and was repaired under warranty in 1/2021. Was diagnosed as passenger curtain airbag. Airbag light started blinking again in April/May 2022. Diagnosed again as passenger curtain airbag. Repaired in August 2022, at a cost to me of $2800+. Picked car up on September 3, 2022. Airbag light came back on on the 6th after my daughter exited the passenger seat. Dropped car off on the 7th and it has been at the dealership ever since. Now they want me to pay $2600+ to have the wiring harness replaced. …”
