Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“190 pound passenger sitting straight upright, airbag light is illuminated on center console indicating that the passenger airbag is turned off while vehicle in motion for at least 30 minutes in duration. I rarely have passengers but this has occurred twice in 10k miles. I purchased the vehicle in 9/2016.”
NHTSA complaint #10956377, filed 2017-02, 5,000 miles“The front passenger side air bag sensor is faulty. When my 67 lb daughter sits in the front seat, the air bag light turns off indicating that the airbag is active. I brought the vehicle in to the dealer and they updated and re-calibrated the sensor, but I am still having the same issue. I was given another Murano as a loaner vehicle while they repaired mine and when my daughter sat in the front seat of the loaner vehicle, the air bag indicator turned off as well, indicating that the air bag was active, which is telling me that this is not isolated to my vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #10945718, filed 2017-01, 10,500 miles“The front passenger air bag sensor consistently fails to recognize the 150 pound passenger riding in the car. If, while starting the car, the front passenger moves in any fashion, the air bag indicator remains on, indicating the air bag is off . No matter what the passenger does, including putting the seat belt on or off, once the air bag sensor is on, it will not go off. I must then turn the car off, ask the passenger to hold perfectly still, then restart the engine. …”
NHTSA complaint #10862335, filed 2016-04, 10 miles“Both driver and passenger airbag lights have been on for about a year. This vehicle has never been involved in a car accident. I recently had the service dept at the dealership take a look as my mechanic was unable to troubleshoot the issue. The code the dealer found was B00A0-00, occupant sensor unit, abnormal voltage. The dealer is stating that the occupant sensor unit needs to be replaced as well as both sensors.”
NHTSA complaint #11529410, filed 2023-06“We are having a problem with the passenger air bag light. It doesn't always go off when someone is sitting in the passenger seat. We've been informed if the light does not go off the passenger will not be protected by the air bag system. We've been told to turn the car off then restart it that this will solve the problem. This means we have to leave the road find a place to park shut the car off and restart it. This can be very difficult when on the freeway. Our concern is sometime we may not notice the air bag light is on, have an accident and the passenger won't be protected by the air bags. …”
