Airbags did not deploy in a violent car accident. Other vehicle's airbags did deploy. I hit my head on the side window or door very hard, and the head injury was felt instantly and onsite, I had to go to the er and get a ct scan and had a concussion. A collision company is investigating the damage and airbags. Available upon request if you want to inspect the vehicle. There were airbag lights that came on for the passenger seat from time to time.
My front airbag light was illuminated during normal every day usage of the vehicle. The vehicle was not involved in an incident, fire, or crash. The vehicle was inspected by the dealership and I was advised that one of the air bags is not operational anymore which in turn would affect the rest of the airbags. The vehicle is only 7 years old. My safety and the safety of my family and passengers is at great risk while operating the vehicle. The cost for this repair is 4K+. I could understand being responsible for this repair if something happened to the vehicle but nothing did. I feel this should be the responsibility of the manufacturer or dealership to repair.
The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the airbag warning light remained illuminated.

On September 22, 2022, my car was hit from the rear. The car hit me so hard that their front end was totalled. On Nov. 28, 2022, the car dealership ( Nash Chevrolet) was able to fix my car from the accident and after fixing my car, they called to tell me my air bag light had came on. They couldn't find the issue, didn't think it was from the accident and stated that Nissan would need to fix it. Nissan is refusing to fix the air bag unless I pay for it out of pocket.

The front seat wiring is too short so anytime the seat is pushed back it triggers the airbag light and turns off all the airbags. I called Nissan about it and they stated since I don-??t have an active recall (even though there is a recall on this same issue) that they will not pay to have it fixed.
My battery completely drained around 24,000 miles, my car just hit 31,000 miles. My air bag light stays on continuously, after this happened my drivers side window quit working, worked fine no noise or anything, then 1 minute later quit working. The lock, unlock button on the outside door handle quits working at times. The remote, key fob doesn't work all the time even after replacing the battery in it. At least 1 to 2 times a week my radio and navigation system won't come on when I start my cars, I have to turn off the car 2 to 3 times to get it to start working. Sometimes the power tailgate won't work for days at a time with the button inside the car. Sometimes the button to start the car does nothing, just have to keep trying. Random warning lights will come on while driving then just turn off. Sometimes both myself and others in the car smell something electrical burning. All of this started within a few days of each incident.

Passenger air bag light goes on and off whether there is an adult in the seat or not. There are a few recalls for this issue but my VIN does not come up as an affected vehicle. There are several complaints of the same nature on the nhtsa website and I feel Nissan needs to look into this issue.
The passenger airbag sensor is faulty, it randomly turns on and off indiscriminately when an adult is in the seat. I have already reached out to Nissan because there is a similar recall but my VIN isn-??t covered in it. Nissan was unwilling to help and even when I took it to the Nissan dealer they refused to change out the sensor. This is life threatening if the car gets in an accident and an adult is in the passenger seat, but the airbag does not deploy.
Every other time when I start my Nissan in the morning, the red light for the airbag on the dashboard comes on. If I shut the vehicle down and re-start it again and the light goes away. If I let the light stay on without restarting the vehicle and drive it, the light never goes away till I shut off the vehicle.

I took my car to the dealership because my air bag light was on. The active code from the dealership is B0020 and my personal scan tool code is B0020-13.

I have never been in an accident or needed any body work.
When an adult passenger sits in front passenger seat, the passenger air bag "off" light on the dash remains on!!! indicating the passenger air bag is turned off even though an adult passenger is sitting on the seat. At rest and in motion.
