The Air Bag Warning Light is Flashing
This happened on saturday april 03, 2021. I had an accident with nissan altima 2005. I was driving about 55 miles per hour on a highway here in madison wisconsin, where all the sudden a road construction truck coming from the work area (center of the highway) tried to snick and crossed without looking at the upcoming traffic. Then, I tried to brake, but no way to prevent the crash from happening, so I hit that truck from his passenger side. After the "t", my airbags did not deploy, so I have been severely injured that the ambulance took me to uw hospital for emergency care. Therefore, I got exposed to the danger because my airbags did not deploy and protect me. So, the airbags were working in my car.
Recently ive been getting the red airbag signal that keeps flashing and wont go off. Ive checked the fuses. Wiring. Ran diahnostics on it for that and the following issues as well. The car makes a high pitch sound when its just ideling that seems to come feom underneath the car maybe towards back middle ive gotten a new fuel pump checked wiring fuses and bought other new parts and have been unable to figure out what it is. Also the gas gauge wont read after the half way point. Ive tried to reset it calibrate it and nothing. During cold days the gas gauge reads correctly until the car warms up. Mo ths have gone by and nothing so far
'takata recall' dashboard intstrument light now remains on for the passenger airbag. I don't know if it is safe to have a passenger in that seat when driving.
Tl* the contact owned a 2005 nissan altima. While driving and approaching a stop sign, the driver's side air bag deployed without warning or impact. As a result, the contact sustained shoulder, neck, and ear injuries that required medical attention. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was towed to tony nissan (94-1299 ka uka blvd, waipahu, hi 96797, (808) 680-7150), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000. The VIN was not available. *tt
Airbag light stays on continually, when I asked dealer to look at this, while in for something different, he stated it was difficult to take apart the dash to see why light stayed on. My husband and I are concerned with this, that it may be a safety issue?11
I had a big hole on my passenger side as well as driver side on floor. My passenger airbag lights on. If anyone can help me out that will be so useful for me. Please take an action as soon as possible. Thanks.
Car was involved in one front end and two rear end accicdents over the years all requiring extensive body and bumper repair. In all cases the air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was moving at the speed limit with the front end accident and at a slow speed approaching a traffic signal and other vehicles with the rear end incidents. Direction was straight in all cases on local streets not highways. Last incident is noted in "when did thid happen" data. Seems unlikely that the bags would not have deployed ever. In light of the takata recall and other airbag system on/off problems with nearly every manufacturer I am concered with the safety of this vehicle. Mention of this over the years was met with dismisal by repair shops and manufacture's dealer service department. How safe is this vehicle?
Air bag signal on and off does not function in case of an accident or chock.
