My air bag light is always off and warning light is on in the dash

- Frontenac, MN, USA

We have received several recall notices involving our Nissan Altima 2013 involving the takata airbags. The recalls have not consisted of anything significant. Throughout the process of these recalls (I believe 2 or 3) our airbag light on dashboard as well as on the center console has intermittently come on and off. We have taken our Nissan to a local Nissan approved dealer for all of our reviews/repairs. Approximately 6 months ago we again took our vehicle and the dealership indicated the light was on due to our car battery being low. This was not the case. My husband used a reader and the car's battery was perfectly fine. Just recently on Tuesday we again took our car in because the airbag light has not turned off. They have indicated that our side airbag is not working, therefore all of the airbags are off and not properly working. The estimated repair for this is $1500 (not including tax). This issue with airbags has been an ongoing issue. Nissan has not made any efforts to fix this problem other than a band-aid recall. The airbags have never been deployed. Finally, I received a class action notification that this vehicle is listed as a eligible member of this class action. www.autoairbagsettlement.com. we have also called Nissan directly and were assigned a case number - 34595466, however no one has provided us with any information. The work on this vehicle is presently being done and will be ready on Friday, however we do not have the money to pay for this repair and will be without a vehicle. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

I took my vehicle in for a sensory recall for the passenger side airbag. Prior to this the airbag indicator light worked properly. The service department at the local Nissan dealership adjusted the sensors and since then the airbag indicator has not been working properly. I took the car back to have the service department readjust the sensors in the seat but that did not correct the problem. I have returned to the dealership several times to have the problem corrected but was told they could not see a problem. I have taken them pictures and videos showing a passenger in my car with the airbag light still on. I have contacted Nissan corporate with this problem as well. Nissan corporate has told me to take my car to the dealership when the light/airbag has not engaged when passenger is in the seat but the last incident happened at 7:30 in the evening when I was out of town. This problem has been ongoing now since 2017. I am reaching out to you because I don't know what else I can do to make my car safe for everyone that rides in it. Thank you... I also have a video of a passenger in the seat but can't get it to load to the document.

Hello, my 2013 Nissan Altima has a safety issue with the airbag. Since August 2017, the car's airbag alarm light is on。 after this happened, I went to gainesville Nissan two times, but the problem is not been solved. The first time was on 9/1/2017. They (gainesville Nissan) charged me $34.78 and told me the problem was the airbag sensor, the warning light was removed at that time. But after about two months the airbag light was on the dashboard again. So I went to gainesville Nissan the second time, on 3/5/2018. This time they charged $49.95 and still said it was a problem with the airbag sensor. Unfortunately, the airbag alarm light show on the dashboard one more time after about one month until now. After these two repairs, I have reason to believe that my 2013 Nissan Altima airbag has quality problems, and gainesville Nissan is very irresponsible. And Nissan is recalling cars on a large scale because of airbag problems, I hope my problems can be solved, thanks.

Air bag warning light constantly on after two resets due to recall. Dealer says it is not due to the recall but that is

Within the last month (October 2018) my airbag indicator light on the dashboard has come on and stays on constantly. This indicates that the airbag may not deploy in a crash, and could possibly mean the difference between life and death. The light came on with no warning, the vehicle has not been in an accident of any kind. This has to be a malfunction.

My "vehicle was previously recalled to reprogram front passenger occupant classification system (OCS) electronic control unit (ECU). " I took my car in for the recall to have it taken care of, but now I'm still having issues with the OCS. Currently, the driver side airbag light is on, indicating that it is not functioning properly. In addition, while the car was in motion and I was sitting in the passenger seat, the passenger side airbag light was lit up. This indicated that the airbag was off, despite the fact that I was sitting in it. After taking the car into the dealership, I was informed that I needed a new OCS control unit as well as two OCS sensors. I informed them of the previous recall on the OCS; however, they said this was a separate issue, so I was going to have to pay around $700. Nissan originally said in a letter that, "if at any time within the next 15 years, the OCS system in your vehicle does not perform as described above, we urge you to please schedule an appointment at your nearest Nissan dealer. The dealer can check the OCS system in your vehicle and, if needed, perform a one-time retrofit to the OCS system free of charge. " since the OCS is still having issues after the original recall, I thought it was imperative to report this huge safety issue. I was informed that the airbags might not deploy if I were in a car accident, which could cause unnecessary injuries or even death. Clearly there are still unresolved issues with the OCS that need attention.

Takata recall. Had my car in the dealer for the airbag recall. Ever since the car passanger light stays on even if I sit on it and im 180lbs and the dash airbag light came on several weeks of the recall service. Now I took the car back to the dealer and they don't want to honor the problem. They say its related to a different issue than what they did. They want to run a diagnose charge me for it and for the repair costs. The car is unsafe and I don't think I should be responsible since the car airbag system indicators were working correctly before I took it.
