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 the code b00aq00 showed 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 $539.88. 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" vehicle has a airbag and latch problem
Takata recall, my driver side airbag warning light is showing on from last 15 days when I just started driving. Plus my shift lock sensor is not working. I put the gear on park on a gass station but when I tried to start it wont let me change the gear unless I opened the shift lock cap and tuck something in and try to change the gear to drive the car. Since then I have ti tuck something to change the gear from parking to anything else.
Takata recall... A semi trailer swung and almost hit my car. I swerved and drop off on the shoulder of I-30, I hit the concrete retainer wall at 70mph and no airbag deployed and I had a knot on my head and black eye. Also I hit 4 hogs on fm852, again no airbag.

Takata recall. Warning lights for passenger airbag come on intermittently whether passenger is in vehicle, or not. Have had the vehicle in to the dealer to resolve the problem, but it has not been resolved yet. This happens when idling and in motion and still currently happening.
I had the ocs system recall for the airbags. Last year they said they fixed it however, I have not seen the light on the dash come on any longer. I do not know if it is working or not working as it is not doing what it is supposed to do. I received a letter stating that within 15years I could bring it back to have them check it and fix again if needed, but when I tried to set up an appointment I was told I have to pay 120$ diagnostic fee for them to look at it even though the letter I have says it will be fixed free of charge.
My airbag intermittently does not come on when someone is in the passenger seat.
Takata recall on august 15, 2017 I was in an accident on my way to work in which I swerved so I wouldn't hit a deer and instead hit a tree damaging the front middle portion of my car which,,,to my surprise,,,, my airbags never deployed and the upper portion of my chest hit the steering wheel ... After the tow truck company came & got my vehicle ,, my husband took me to the urgent care clinic where they took xrays of my chest finding that it was just severely bruised... The car was taken to clydes auto body in salida, co. Where it was repaired I have all the documents,,, pictures of the damaged car , & hospital receipts & records if required upon reading this complaint... Please rsvp asap,,, thankyou [xxx] pics of the car damage on my cellphone if needed. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The passenger airbag light on the dash intermittently stays on, indicating that it is disabled, even with a 150 lb adult seated in the passenger seat. This has been a problem since we purchased the car new in 2013. I have taken the car in many times. The most recent time was about one month ago. This was after we had the recall performed a couple of months ago. What they did for the recall did not work, so I took it back to the same dealer, bill robertson nissan. They had the car all day and they said all they did is check the wire connections and they were ok. Nissan knows there is a problem with the passenger airbag system on this model (and others) but so far they either can't or won't do what is necessary to fix this. This is a major safety problem as the passenger airbag won't work if this light is on.
Takata recall - received notice of recall on airbags. Will be taking in vehicle to have fixed

Takata recall
Takata recall. I am worried about my safety. Did dealership take care of all of it during 07/2016 recall?
The air bag light stays on in the dash when driving and when someone sits in the passenger seat the air bag stays off so if I get into an accident none of the air bags will deploy. This happens every time I turn my vehicle on.
Passenger seat air bag warning light stays lit when a adult is sitting in seat. There is a recall for something similar, but we were told our car is not under that recall. My worry is if we have a accident will that front air bag deploy.
I took my car to dealership because my passenger air bag light was staying on they did a diagnostic test on it and found out it was the air bag unit that was the problem they said if I had someone sit in the passenger seat in the front the airbag would not deploy if I got into an accident I did some research and found out that there was a recall on this for the nissan altima in 2016 for the same problem when I talked to someone they said it was not my VIN number all I know is that something needs to be done about this I cannot afford to get this fix when I know that there was a recall on this issue
2013 nissan altima. Consumer writes in regards to passenger airbag warning light illuminates with seated passengers. Dealership unable to reprogram the airbag diagnostic system control unit. *smd the consumer stated after the air bag recall was performed the failure recurred. Updatd 10/05/2017
Takata recall : airbag light turned on dash all of a sudden. Airbag light was noticed when vehicle was turned on and stationary. Vehicle hasn't been in any accident.
My airbags in my car are non-functional. The red and yellow airbag lights are on for the duration of any trip in the car. The sensor that is supposed to detect an adult in the passenger seat does not function so the passenger airbag is always off -attachment 1. I went to the deacon jones nissan dealership in goldsboro nc on 4-12-17 for the recall on this issue. The "reprogramming" that was done was ineffective. This was not reported to me. I returned to the dealership on 7-6-17 to get the issue addressed. I was told that my car had no recalls outstanding and I would need to pay out of pocket to get the airbag control unit replaced. Instead I elected to call nissan to see if they could offer an explanation or remedy the problem. I called and spoke with [xxx] agentid: [xxx]. He created a case and sent it to their repair specialists. Today, 7-11-17 I spoke with [xxx] the case manager. He informed me that nissan would not be replacing the defective airbag control unit and that I would need to pay to have it replaced out of pocket. My concerns are: 1. Nissan isn't taking their customers safety seriously. Some people would simply not be able to pay to have this defective unit replaced and could suffer injury as a result. 2. The airbag control unit (if I replaced it out of pocket) would fail again. 3. The airbag unit reprogramming has been ineffective on other cars and doesn't seem to address the issue. Similar to the hood latch issue which required 3 recalls to address.

We have not received any recalls since purchase of car.on 06/30/17,my daughter called and informed me the car was having problems. What she described sounded as if there was water in the gas.itold her to drive to the dealer in conway ar.it was brought to our attention there was a recall on the CVT.they reprogramed it and test drove the car. They said it was ok ,but were a little iffy about whether we might have more problems.in the meantime I found out there were several recalls on the car,including the passenger side air bag and the hood latch.these were serious safety problems ,in and we had received no recalls.we would appreciate any assistance you may help with.she said it sounded as if it would blow up,at the time.she brought the car home(3.5 hr. Drive)and after a brief stop,it would not budge.I loaded the car on a trailor and took it to the dealer in jonesboro ar.itold the service man about it and that I had contacted the federal safety agency and was assigned a case #27278124,but he didn't seem too interested in it. I later found the recall on the passenger side air bag.the conway people said they preformed the hood latch recall.p.s,ialso was told the CVT recall was internal.
Passenger seat sensor does not detect passenger most times, meaning the air bag does not activate. Happens more when passenger is seated before the car is started. This happens with any passenger, all different sizes and weights. Dealer has not found any error codes, and sensor has been reset multiple times. All previous recalls to this issue have been implemented, issue still exists.
Solid red airbag sign is on dashboard. Diagnostic port does not show any code for this problem.
We brought the car into the dealership because of the ocs recall and they reprogrammed the system but it didn't seem to fix the issue, within the year we had to replace both ocs sensors and have it reprogrammed again. I do not feel they met the intent of the recall and would love to know if this issue is/was common and what if anything can be done about it.
Passenger airbag light does not sense passenger sitting in seat to turn air bag on (intermittently) and airbag light is constantly on on the dashboard yet no codes have been shown when mechanic tried to pull codes. Light is on constant when in motion or stationary. Passenger air bag light sometimes senses, other times it does not.
