Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
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.

The air bag light in my 2005 nissan altima comes on when the car is started and blinks while driving. I had the car repaired back in 2009. The problem is now happening again, so I had an estimate at the nearest nissan dealership. In order to be repaired they said, I would have to show there had been a previous work order in arrange for the repair to be covered under warranty? I called the other nissan dealership where the repair happened and apparently, there is no paper trail the work order actually occurred? The copy of my paperwork shows there was a report and a custom part ordered, but no actual receipt showing this happened. I called the parts department that shows a custom part was ordered, however, it was never returned and it is no longer in the parts department.. So, no one knows seems to know about this mysterious missing part or what happened to the part? I know what happened to the part, it was installed in my car.. So, now I am told a sensor under the passenger seat is bad and needs to be repaired, which is under the passenger seat. It will cost me $1500 to repair. This is the second time this has occurred. I should not have to pay anything. What is more interesting is to find there are other car owners suffering from the same situation. Therefore this is not just my car... But a manufacture defect that should be covered under warranty!!!!!! Car owner in ca, san bernardino county frustrated.
My check engine light and airbag light came on last monday, august 22, 2011. I was driving to work the next morning and had my cruise control set. After I went over a small hill, it felt like my car tried to downshift. As it did, it died. This was at 7:30 in the morning when traffic was high. I had cars all around me when the car died. I was almost hit. I was scared to death because I could?ve been killed or killed someone else. The brakes got tight as they do when you pump up brakes and the car isn?t running so I had no control of them either. Took my car to local mechanic he replaced crank and cam sensors. When this did not repair the issue, he suggested I take it to nearest nissan mechanic. After trying nourse in chillicothe who was absolutely rude and absurd, I took it to taylor in athens, ohio. They put a factory crank and cam sensor on and this did not resolve problem. They decided that the ECM is bad in the car. I have paid for this car to be towed twice, paid for cam and crank sensors twice, talked to nissan, who was absolutely no help and rude. The man hung up on my husband when he asked to speak to someone else so he could understand what they were saying. Have to drive another 100 miles round trip to take other set of keys to dealer and is going to be atleast friday before they get the parts in. So it will be almost 2 weeks that I am without a car. As it stands, my bill is now $1311.51. There was a recall on this exact part and did the exact same things as listed on recall. I bought this car used. This part was replaced in 2009 and are no ?outstanding campaigns? For my model car. I think this is completely unacceptable. I don?t care if the part is replaced 15 times, if it?s faulty, it?s faulty. I have dealt with the rude customer service of nissan that you can't even understand, rude shop managers at nissan dealerships, and I do not feel that I should have to pay for all of this. I feel that nissan is still accountable for this issue.
The air bag light in my 2005 nissan altima comes on when the car is started and blinks while driving. Issue was said to be repaired two times now and I still have the same problem. Now I am told that a sensor under the passenger seat is bad. It will cost me $1600 to repair. This is the third time this has occurred. I should have to pay nothing due to the time they have wasted and their inability to fix the problem the first time.
