My car is included by year in the current airbag recall. However it comes up negative and the airbag icon started blinking last week. There were no incidents prior to the blinking.

The air bag warning light pop on when I was stopping for red light. The car has not been in a crash, fire, or flood. The air bag module must be a manufacturer problem, this is not no routine maintenance problem. There are other Nissan models with same problem. Please don't let manufacturers get away with this, it is putting me and my passengers in very high danger. This is a item only manufacturers have easy access to.I payed alot of money for vehicle, please add my vehicle for recall, there's no where else to turn to. Thank for your help and consideration.

"takata recall" when the car is started the airbag light starts blinking.I have taken my car to 2 dealerships and they have informed me that it is the clock spring in the car. And that it was unsafe to drive because if I were to get into a wreck or if someone was to hit me and my children the airbags would not deploy. The clock spring in the staring will also controls the passenger side airbag and that will not deploy as well.

Driver side air bag alert blinking. Nissan claims no recall and states that they must replace the air bag in order to run diagnostic tests. My car is in perfect working order so my question to you is; what constitutes a mandatory recall" must consumers wait until there are a certain number of incidents before it is determined a faulty part"

So I was driving my car at night and it was raining that day. My speed was 40mph when I was making left turn on a highway, and then all of sudden one of my back tire on the right pop. My car goes out of control and made 180 degrees turn. So I end up rolling my car. Luckily their was no one coming from other lane. At the end I was surprise that none of my airbag deploy. Also my car got total.
