The airbag light came on for no reason, has never come on before. No accidents, fender bender, no bumps. Shop read an error code of B1129. Checked right passenger SRS seat connections as code suggests and reset the light. Light came back on in two days. Shop says airbag may not deploy and can not determine the exact cause. could easily cost over a $1000 to fix depending on issue. Airbags should not have issues like this. Nissan already has a service campaign for the same issue on later model 350Z. Please encourage Nissan to include the 2004 model as well. From all my research into resolving this issue, I can see there are a lot of other 350Z owners affected as well. Please help us.

I bought a 2004 z350 and I bought it on mother's day last month and I got the car in the abarat was already on the car the light was already on when I purchased a car from a dealership and I was told that it was against the law to sell a car with the airbag light on.
My car light just came on. I never had an accident with my car since I purchased it from palm springs nissan. In 2004
Airbag warning light illuminated on dash on 2004 350z nissan. This vehicle is not listed for nissan airbag recall. Within warranty period the airbag was previously replaced by planet nissan (dealer las vegas, nv) in 2004 or 2005, not sure of specific date. Dealership said it wasn't covered under warranty but they would take care of it.

Air bag fault light for passenger seat stayed on. Investigation by nissan determined it to be a faulty sensor. Another incident occurred on 3/05/14, with same problem. Appears to be the same problem as recall of 2013-2014 nissans. I think recall should be extended to include my 2004 z350.

Airbag light on 2004 350z touring roadster continues to flash. Diagnostic investigation gives no particular code that leads to prompt correction of airbag system malfunction.
2004 nissan 350z. Current mileage - 58,000+. Purchased new from a local dealer in november of 2004, after searching all of the dealers in central florida for the z that had the trim and safety package that we wanted. Beginning in 2007, the vehicle has had ongoing problems with the airbag light / airbags / diagnostic unit: 08/08/07 - airbag light is on - ?false code? 08/14/08 - airbag light is on - ?ordered left side airbag? 08/27/08 - ?replaced failed left airbag unit? 11/11/08 - airbag light is on - ?found pass codes clear all ok? 05/03/10 - airbag light is on - ?needs diag unit and pass side curtain air bag? 06/22/10 - ?replaced diag unit and rh side module? 11/08/10 - airbag light is on - ?recommend lh front side air bag and diagnosis sensor? We were told by our dealer that the diagnosis sensor would be covered under warranty because it was less than five months since it had been replaced, but that we would need to pay over $700 for the airbag to be replaced. Logic tells us that the airbag may not need to be replaced if the diagnosis sensor is bad, but our local dealer is telling us that nissan will not allow the diagnosis sensor to be replaced without also replacing the airbag. Logic also tells us that, unlike other parts, the airbags are not ?wearing? Items that require maintenance or replacement (unless they deploy, of course), so why do they need replacing? We contacted nissan USA and asked that the faulty diagnosis sensor be replaced with one that will work for longer than five months, and will stop giving false codes. We also asked nissan to replace the airbag at no cost to us because it is their 'requirement'. This morning, a regional representative from nissan USA finally contacted us, and we were told that we would have to pay for the airbag if we wanted the faulty diagnosis sensor replaced! Our concern is for our safety. What will happen if we have an accident? Will any of the airbags deploy??
