2012 Nissan Murano Air bags Problems

“I brought the car in for routine oil change and it took over 3 hours to complete. I was told that there was a recall that needed to be done but they would not tell me more except that it had to do with the air bags and the computer. I have not been able to get more information from the dealer after several attempts via phone and letter. I am concerned that it is safety related and that they are hiding something dangerous.”

“We recently bought an out of warranty, as is 2012 Nissan Murano and the dash airbag light and passenger airbag light are both on. They never go off after the initial 7 second wait time. Vehicle in motion or standing still doesn't matter. I have scanned for codes and b1018-00 keeps coming back after attempting to erase. Normal sized people sit in these two seats and use their seat belts religiously so misaligned seating is not the case. I have researched this and a few others have had the exact problem. …”

“My 2012 Nissan Murano has approx 119,000 miles on it. The passenger side air bag light stays on indicating that the airbag is off, even when there is someone in the passenger's seat, even when it's a full grown adult. In addition, I have a flashing red airbag light on my dash as well. After a couple weeks of this, I took my vehicle to the dealer as listed in the manual. They said the sensor went out and the entire seat cushion for the passenger side would need to be replaced at a cost of ~$5300. I only paid $11000 for the vehicle to begin with. …”

“Passenger side air bag is not engaged. Indicator is on approximately 50% of the time, when my 84 pound daughter is sitting in the passenger seat. This means that 50% of the time, my daughter is supposedly not protected by the air bag. This is troublesome. The intermittent, seemingly random nature of the indicator does not instill confidence in the protection that I paid for and is assumed to be in place. When I contacted the dealer on 12/28/12. I asked the Nissan service technician what weight was required to engage the air bag protection, and I was told that it was not entirely a weight test. …”

“Vehicle is mostly stationary in the garage, only 46k miles for 2012. Air bag starting flashing and will not reset. Took car to dealership for diagnosis, technician stated light caused by faulty air bag sensing unit. Technician recommends replacing the diagnostic unit and passenger seat bottom. $5700 and air bag will not work if in accident.”
