My vehicle has only 12,400 miles, and the passenger air bag light will not go off and the airbag light in the dash keeps blinking. Millions of Nissan vehicles have had the same problem. I want my Nissan dealership, where I purchased this vehicle ( M-??Lady in Crystal Lake, IL ), to fix this at no cost to me.
Passenger airbag sensor came on and shows the passenger air bag is off. The airbag light is flashing as well with no warning at all. Just starting the car, the passenger airbag light came on and said air bag off and flashing light on dash. Passenger airbag won't turn back on and doesn't work putting passengers in great danger.
The passenger side air bag light stayed on and I took it to the dealer. They said the seat cushion had to be replaced because it was the air bag sensor that was faulty. It cost me over $2100 dollars out of pocket. That was after Nissan Corp. Agreed to pay $500 towards the cost. I might add that the passenger seat was still in like new condition.
I have two issues, first my passenger seat air bag indicator light is occassionally turned off even though the seat is occupied. I am told by the dealership to have the passenger move around to have the seat belt appropriately set. I am unsure if this will truely resolve the issue. I noted many of the same issues on the internet. My second issues relates to the driver side air bag that did not activate when I was severly rear ended. My car also hit the car in front of me. It was a major hit as I incurred in excess of $10,000 in damages.
