Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
The air bag light came on and won,t go off!
I had recall repairs done for my 1994 nissan, altima. The recall was for the passenger side air bag. After the air bag was replaced the air bag light began to flash. I took the car back to the nissan dealer that did the work. They checked the car and said that it was probably the switch, and it would cost $1500.00. I told them that this happened after they did the recall. But, they did not want to do anything for me. This has been several months ago. I will get the exact date. The date below is a guesstimate. But, the work was done at passport nissan in alexandria, va.
Consumer states that while driving at any speed and no warning the air bag light stays on. And distracted her while she was driving. Dealer has been notified. Please provide further information. Ts
After oil change the airbag light started blinking/flashing. Had not done so prior. Does this mean I need to pay out of pocket for it to be tested and then repaired even though I didn't do anything? My previous name was willa janine adams, now it's kohl.
Air bag light illuminated on dashboard, and consumer has contacted dealer. Dealer determined that cause of problem was control unit that needed replacing.
Was parking vehicle and both air bags deployed for no reason. Driver suffered injuries. Prior to air bags deploying, air bag light had came on and stayed. Had been to dealer and had repairs done.
Air bag light is blinking.
Air bag control unit failed several times, causing air bag light to flash.
