Airbag warning light suddenly stayed on flashing. There has never been any accident. Low miles and rarely a passenger in the car. Nissan dealer checked and determined it was the passenger sensor. They replaced the sensor and light remained. They then said they had to replace the entire passenger seat bottom to fix the issue. ~$3,700 later and it is fixed.
Air bag warning light started flashing and does not go off. Dealer (lancaster Nissan) tested the vehicle and stated that sensor or seat sensor could be bad. They were able to turn off warning light, but it started again the next time I drove the car. Estimates to replace sensor ($1,500) and seat sensor ($4,500) seem extremely high. Vehicle has only 39,000 miles and was purchased new. Dealer stated there is no open recall despite research showing 100's of 2009 Muranos with the same issue and a prior recall on earlier Muranos and infiniti's - clearly the same manufacturing defect. Have not taken an action to repair at this point,

The passenger seat air bag control quit working. The red light is on in the dash. I have been told that this VIN number is not included in the recall. Nissan has a recall nvtsa # 08V-521 and the campaign id for the 2009 Murano number is Z51. The problem with my car is the same as the recall. I only get the runaround from Nissan about my problem. I can not use the car if I have a passenger. I need help for this problem.
The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Murano. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 08V066000 (air bags). The parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. Carr Nissan (3855 sw cedar hills blvd, beaverton, or 97005, (503) 643-8676) was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and was not able to confirm when the parts were to become available. The contact had not experienced a failure.
Takata recall. The dealership said that my car is not under recall but my air bag sensor light keeps flashing and my passenger side airbag sensor says that this if off. I have tried turning the car on and off, buckling the seatbelt as per instructions. Light for sensor will not go off when driving, stationary, or idling.
The passenger airbag light flashes constantly while the car is running and being driven. Took it to a local Nissan dealer who told me the entire bottom cushion would have to be replaced at a cost of $4000. It's the same problem other Murano's are having, but my cars VIN number wasn't on the recall list, so this would be an out of pocket expense. I was told they could turn the flashing indicator off, but the passenger airbag will not deploy if in an accident. Nissan knows this is a problem with several 2009 Murano's but refuses to address the problem by adding it to the recall list. It is unimaginable and unacceptable that Nissan will allow the airbag light to be turned off knowing the airbag will not deploy properly and risk severe injury, or possible loss of life rather than make this a recall fix. Also the car only has 58000 miles on it.
Murano recall has been issued for other 2009 Muranos for OCS sensor issue. Airbag light was triggered (stays flashing after vehicle has been started stationary & in motion) & code B1032 came up at Nissan dealer. I was informed that my VIN wasn't included in recall, despite it being same trigger, year, make & model recalled. I requested info on how close in manufacturing to the recalled vehicles mine is & was informed that info isn't known. That info is tracked somewhere & that's how recalls are issued. To get this repaired would cost me over $2.500 (per estimate on record). How do I get this investigated so mine can be included as it is the same year, make, model & issue involved in recall?
Air bag control unit/OCS system failure. According to recall #08V521000, there is a history with problems with my make & model of vehicle. I have been to the dealership to try to resolve this issue repeatedly and while they turn off the dashboard light illuminating the problem, it simply illuminates again in a few days. Now they tell me I need to purchase a new seat cushion at a cost of almost $5,000. My VIN is not showing up in the recall notice but this is exactly the problem that I am having with my car. I can provide a picture of the airbag malfunction light on the dashboard, if you need it.
The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that the front passenger air bag warning indicator was flashing. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (geri lynn Nissan, 1772 martin luther king blvd, houma, la 70360, (985) 219-1111) where it was diagnosed that the weight sensor and varistor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 08V521000 (air bags, electrical system) and 08V066000 (air bags); however, the contact felt that the vehicle was exhibiting failures related to one or both of the recall campaigns. The manufacturer also issued one tsb for the air bags and three tsbs for the electrical system. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and advised the contact to have the dealer diagnose and repair the vehicle. The failure mileage was not available.

Well lets start with the engine stalling and not being able to get on the highway cause the engine lacks the power to even move. The right passenger side air bag light keeps flasing no matter what it does'nt go off.there is a rattling noise coming from the rear right side under the carriage. The left rear tire it lobsided and when it rains the rear of the car feels like its on ice and sways side to side it's an accident waiting to happen the tire sensor light never goes off even if you inflate to proper range and dont get me started on the transmission slipping hope that some one in your company does something about these issues before someone gets seriously hurt you may end up in court fix them before some one gets hurt....all this in motion. Street and highway. Documentation yes the whole car is documentation.
My airbag light on the dash is flashing. Indicating that the airbag system maybe faulty Nissan wants $120. For a diagnostic test of the system. This car is a 2009 Murano and only 47,000. Miles no accident or anything to cause the light to go on. In all my years and cars I have never had a airbag light go on for no reason.
At 67000 miles the airbag light began flashing. Took it to dealer for inspection, paid $100 for inspection and they found code B1018 for airbag control module failure and quoted $1449.32 +tax to correct the problem. Spoke with Nissan customer care and was assigned case no. 29877528 on 2-17-2018. On 2-20-2018 was contacted and told since out of warranty period, they would do nothing to correct the problem. I know there were recalls for this problem in the past, but they would not listen. The passenger side airbag will not deploy and this is a safety problem.
After having my 35 lb dog sit in the passenger seat the air bag light starts flashing I have had it checked out and reset several times. This seems to happen after the next time I drive the car not immediately. I was advised that it is the OCS sensors and if it happen again it should be replaced to the tune of $4,000. The dealer checked for a recall notice and I was told there was none. This is absolutely an unsafe condition for any passenger in my vehicle. Everything is functioning for now, but I think this should be a Nissan responsibility. There are only 54,500 miles on this car.
1) airbag light alarm for passenger seat goes on suddently after 80,000 miles. After dealer inspection, seems to be related to the occupant classification system (OCS) varistor located in the front passenger seat cushion, as mentioned in your ntb08-095 November 4, 2008 recall campaign. Found it strange my vehicule VIN is not associated to this complaint, but I have the problem. 2) alternator suddently died after 80,000 miles without warning, while driving on the highway. Had time to pull on the side, but situation could have been dramatic. Suddently vehicule reduced speed and went from 60mph to 10mph, then no more battery, so could not light the warning lights. Very dangerous situation. Problem have been reported for many Murano different years, recalls were done for 2005 or 2008 Murano but none for 2009. A $1300 bill at the Nissan dealership. 3) ps: Got airbag light alarm for passenger seat right after alternator problem
