I took my vehicle in for a sensory recall for the passenger side airbag. Prior to this the airbag indicator light worked properly. The service department at the local nissan dealership adjusted the sensors and since then the airbag indicator has not been working properly. I took the car back to have the service department readjust the sensors in the seat but that did not correct the problem. I have returned to the dealership several times to have the problem corrected but was told they could not see a problem. I have taken them pictures and videos showing a passenger in my car with the airbag light still on. I have contacted nissan corporate with this problem as well. Nissan corporate has told me to take my car to the dealership when the light/airbag has not engaged when passenger is in the seat but the last incident happened at 7:30 in the evening when I was out of town. This problem has been ongoing now since 2017. I am reaching out to you because I don't know what else I can do to make my car safe for everyone that rides in it. Thank you... I also have a video of a passenger in the seat but can't get it to load to the document.
Hello, my 2013 nissan altima has a safety issue with the airbag. Since august 2017, the car's airbag alarm light is on。 after this happened, I went to gainesville nissan two times, but the problem is not been solved. The first time was on 9/1/2017. They (gainesville nissan) charged me $34.78 and told me the problem was the airbag sensor, the warning light was removed at that time. But after about two months the airbag light was on the dashboard again. So I went to gainesville nissan the second time, on 3/5/2018. This time they charged $49.95 and still said it was a problem with the airbag sensor. Unfortunately, the airbag alarm light show on the dashboard one more time after about one month until now. After these two repairs, I have reason to believe that my 2013 nissan altima airbag has quality problems, and gainesville nissan is very irresponsible. And nissan is recalling cars on a large scale because of airbag problems, I hope my problems can be solved, thanks.

Air bag warning light constantly on after two resets due to recall. Dealer says it is not due to the recall but that is bs
Within the last month (october 2018) my airbag indicator light on the dashboard has come on and stays on constantly. This indicates that the airbag may not deploy in a crash, and could possibly mean the difference between life and death. The light came on with no warning, the vehicle has not been in an accident of any kind. This has to be a malfunction.
Passanger side air bag no longer works, the air bag says its off and malfunctioned. Will not show when someone is sitting inn the seat. Thus never setting the passanger air so if you get into an accident it would not deploy. When the air bag malfunctioned it was sitting in the driveway we turned it on and the light came on and has never went out.
My "vehicle was previously recalled to reprogram front passenger occupant classification system (ocs) electronic control unit (ecu). " I took my car in for the recall to have it taken care of, but now I'm still having issues with the ocs. Currently, the driver side airbag light is on, indicating that it is not functioning properly. In addition, while the car was in motion and I was sitting in the passenger seat, the passenger side airbag light was lit up. This indicated that the airbag was off, despite the fact that I was sitting in it. After taking the car into the dealership, I was informed that I needed a new ocs control unit as well as two ocs sensors. I informed them of the previous recall on the ocs; however, they said this was a separate issue, so I was going to have to pay around $700. Nissan originally said in a letter that, "if at any time within the next 15 years, the ocs system in your vehicle does not perform as described above, we urge you to please schedule an appointment at your nearest nissan dealer. The dealer can check the ocs system in your vehicle and, if needed, perform a one-time retrofit to the ocs system free of charge. " since the ocs is still having issues after the original recall, I thought it was imperative to report this huge safety issue. I was informed that the airbags might not deploy if I were in a car accident, which could cause unnecessary injuries or even death. Clearly there are still unresolved issues with the ocs that need attention.
Takata recall. Brought my car into the nissan dealership in buena park california to deal with the airbag recall.

Ever since the car passanger light stays on even if I sit on it and im 180lbs and the dash airbag light came on several weeks of the recall service.

Reliable nissan in albuquerque performed the ntb16-052 requal and immediately after repair the driver side airbag light came on and stayed on. Told this to mechanic and was charged for the repair when picking up the car. The driver side airbag always worked. Mechanic stated that cause of airbag was due to a low battery and a zero point reset had to be performed for the fix. He stated anytime on a nissan car if the battery voltage dropped below 12v the airbag light will come on and have to be taken in for a zero point reset and a charge of $149.49. There are several issues with this. - first is the driver side airbag on my wife's car always worked and after the recall it did not. Requal was for the passenger side airbag fix but affected the driver side airbag light to come on. - second issue was the car battery was replaced without being contact for replacement. There was no issue with the car battery as the car did not have issues starting. Asked them to put the original car battery back in which they did and car started ok. He said it was marginal. Checked the battery with my code reader and battery was 12 volts. Car has been starting okay for several weeks. The last issue which is the most important is nissan stating if a battery on a nissan drops below 12 volts and airbag light will come on and may not work. If this is the case this is a major safety issue as there are always going to be batteries that go low or need a charge as it is a consumable part. A customer will be charged for the fix and worse of all the airbag will not work until taken to the shop. Really. I have owned a chevrolet and now two fords and a nissan. Only nissan has this issue? If a car battery is good enough to start a car but is below 12 volts the airbag will not work even with the alternator charging the battery. This is what several individuals at nissan are telling me. Please help
