Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
My air bag light is on red
Sensor in the front passenger seat is out making the airbag light blink in the cluster panel. I was told by the Nissan dealership that I would need a whole new seat and that would cost over $1000.
The airbag lights came on and when I took it to Nissan, I was told that it will not deploy if a person was to get in an accident
Airbag light flashes when car is on whether stationary or in motion. Was told its the sensor in the passenger seat cushion and the whole cushion has to be replaced. Airbag will not deploy and is a safety issue if not fixed asap. Very frustrating...at a cost over $1000.00.
My airbag light keeps flashing intermittently when car is on.

Air bag light is on
Takata recall. On november , 12 2016, I took my 2010 nissian altima into griffin nissian's dealership to have my vehicle looked at due to an airbag light coming on the day prior, while in motion. It's still on parked also. It never goes off. After taking my vehicle in a service advisor called me and stated that the problem is a sensor inside the passenger seat has gone bad and would need to be replaced. I asked was that covered under the manufacture and he advised me that he wasn't sure. He advised it would be an estimated cost of around $600.00 dollars to repair the sensor. I then research the issue about the sensor, and my research showed that several vehicles have already been recalled for the same issue. I contacted nissian manufacture. And I explain the problem my car had and they advised me that someone would view the case and contact me back. The next day someone from nissian manufacture contacted me and advised I would have to take care of the airbag issue at my own expense. I stated to them that this isn't a part that has normal wear and tear and should be backed by the manufacture and I express how that sensor not working correctly could cause my family and I harm if we were to get into a motor vehicle accident and the airbags fail to deploy. I bought my vehicle from griffen nissian on 10-15-2014, the car was used, and however I take my vehicle to griffen nissian every time its need to be service and to have routine oil changes.
Takata recall I was driving 45 MPH down the street and the air bag light came on my dash. I see that there were recalls for newer models but not my model. Can you tell me why?
