Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The air bag warning light has been flashing on my instrument panel since spring of 2019. Brought to a couple different places and they can't clear the code. Says no air bag detected. I haven't fixed it yet...cuz I ain't got the money. The vehicle was in motion on highway when light came on. There is no varying of light...stays on continually.”
NHTSA complaint #11289052, filed 2019-12, 55,000 miles“Dashboard airbag sensor light began flashing randomly in november 2018. When front passenger was present. I scheduled service with dealer per manual and technician cleared code. Airbag sensor went off yesterday 2/16/19 same issue when front passenger was seated again. Dealer stated issue not covered by warranty. They said it was a $1000 fix???? I my humble opinion this is a catastrophe safety concern and asking consumer to fix is absurd and shameful.”
NHTSA complaint #11180619, filed 2019-02, 49,000 miles“Passenger sensor light comes while driving then resets when engine restarted. This happens a couple times then airbag light in console starts flashing permanently. The person sitting in the seat is easily 250 lbs so it must be a sensor ir even issue. Had a dealer check it once and no error code shows up”
NHTSA complaint #11080065, filed 2018-03, 40,000 miles“When my wife sits in the passenger seat the air bag light did not go off unless she bounces in the set a couple times. Stating that there was in an infant in the front passenger seat.”
NHTSA complaint #11075379, filed 2018-02, 73,000 miles“Collision into heavy BUS that crossed my path. Nissan totaled, airbags failed with high speed crash 55 plus mph with injuries. The passenger seat airbag light always stayed on since purchase. Nissan doing all they can to get out of the situation. Lots of excuses. Turned issue over to my insurance company to try to resolve with Nissan.”
