I went to get my car inspected and they noticed that my airbag light was on, and that even with a passenger in the seat, the airbag sensor wouldn-??t work. I came across an article saying there was a recall for 2013 Nissan-??s with airbag sensor problems, but when I went to go see if my car qualified, they said no.
Slid on black ice (luckily only going about 40mph) car hit a cement guard rail head on severally damaging the entire front of the car (waiting on if it's totaled) no injuries but air bags did not deploy. Well it wasn't super fast that hard of a head on hit they should have deployed.

My complaint is that Clear Lake Nissan failed to properly repair a recall on my 2013 Sentra. The recall is located at: https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2013/NISSAN/SENTRA/4%252520DR/FWD#recalls. The Recall Campaign Bulletin # NTB13-032b / Campaign ID#: PC213 / NTSA#: 13V-069. It is located at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2013/RCRIT-13V069-4312.pdf. The date of initial issue was 8/5/2022. Associate at Clear Lake Nissan committed to run repairs on CVT reprograming & repair of OCS recall to include sensor and seatbelt repair, parts, and labor. Clear Lake Nissan has not attempted to resolve the issue; instead told me they will have to charge me a diagnostic fee of $181 and then parts and labor to do the repair. I asked to speak to a supervisor or manager and was told they will reach out to me via a phone call, but I have yet to receive a call from either a supervisor nor a manager. Please see uploaded files to include a more detailed write up of complaint with specific recall details & explanation of events.

There was a recall on this vehicle in October 2015. I called the number asked to call and was told to take it to the dealer close to me. When I did that I took the car to Nissan deals on automobile blvd in silver spring, I was told that someone has to sit on the passenger sit for the airbag light to go off. I asked what will happen when the car is due for inspection. The technician said that will take care of itself before the inspection time. As I writing thos compliant, the light is still showing and on going to the inspection, I was told that the car has failed inspection because of the airbag been disfunctional. I have called Nissan motor and they are giving me the go around and not addressing the issue of the recall that caused my car not to pass inspection. Please I need help as the recall issue was not addressed which has caused the problem now.for my Nissan Sentra 2013.
The driver airbag light stays on, on the dashboard. It turns on when I start the car and it stays on. One day it was off when I first turned on the car, but as I drove a couple of blocks it turned on. I went to a mechanic and he ran a diagnostics and it came back with code B00A0-00 occupant detection system data 4 sensor - history fault. He suggested I go back to Nissan. Nissan told me there are no recalls and I would have to first pay $180 for them to run a diagnostic test and then pay for any repairs. I am concerned as this is a safety issue, I am not sure if the drivers air bag will deploy. I have never been in an accident with this car and it has low mileage about 12,200 miles. Also, I hade the front passenger air bag status light operation recall fixed in 2016.
Transmission doesn't shift smoothly. Jerks at high or low speeds. Rpms rev up past 5 which requires me to release the accelerator for vehicle to shift. As of Jan 3 2019. Air bags were fixed during recall. In 2016. However lights came on immediately and never went off. Dealer continues to want me to pay for repairs.
Driver airbag lights keep turning on and off on the dashboard. It turns on when I start my car or while I'm driving, and stays on. There are some days where it does not come on in the morning, and then it will come on in the afternoon. Right now the light has been on for 2 days in a row.
