Takata recall - airbag failed to deploy. I was completely stopped at a red light when another vehicle, traveling at approximately 45 - 50 MPH, rear-ended me.
I have been in a few accidents and my airbags don't work.

Since original purchase (new) 11/30/14, the passenger airbag indicator system has not worked correctly. 3 complaints ( on site, in writing) thru nissan dealer have not corrected problem. Question is, will passenger side airbag work if in a collision? Malfunction may result in major injury or death. Dealers only explanation is to wait 15 seconds before driving with a passenger. Indicator system works and fails indiscriminately.
The front passenger side airbag indicator light intermittently indicates that the passenger airbag is off when someone is sitting in the passenger seat. This generally happens when I first turn the vehicle on and there is someone already sitting in the front passenger seat. If I shut the vehicle off and turn it back on then the airbag light will go off indicating that the airbag is on. I took it to the nissan dealer and they said that the computer does not show a problem and that there is nothing that they can do about it. They told me that the airbag system was under warranty through 99,999 miles or 2030 if there is an incident it would be covered. That is not very reassuring to hear that if the airbag fails it will be cover under warranty.
Tl* the contact owned a 2015 nissan altima. While driving 35 MPH and making a left turn, a vehicle crashed into the front driver's side of the contact's vehicle. The driver's side air bag deployed. The driver sustained injuries to the knee, neck, back, and right hand, which required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and deemed a total loss. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was unknown.
Takata recall: both my previous nissan altima 2007 and my current altima has sporadic signals of the airbag being off when driving down the road. Since it is inconsistent I have been unable to take to dealer to pinpoint this issue. I feel that it may be a safety issue. I am the passenger and heavy enough to activate airbag. This form does not allow me to show how many times or dates this happens.
The airbag light will not go off
Takata recall
Takata recall - is this vehicle subject to recall? Also, the passenger side airbags will only deploy when the passenger weighs over ~110 lbs. My wife is 5'2" & weighs 106 lbs. Which is the proper weight for someone her size. When she sits in the seat the airbag light remains on, telling us she is not protected by airbags. If 40,000+ people lives have been saved by airbags, why does the industry allow lighter weight passengers to not be protected? Is this a recall issue?
Air bag light is on meaning air bag is off with a passenger in seat
Takata recall passenger side airbag sensor is functioning abnormally. It will show the airbag off when there is no one and nothing in the seat at times and then will show the airbag to be functioning at others. It will also be erratic when I am sitting in the passenger side. I weight 120 lbs. Most times the airbag will show it is off and only register on for brief periods.
Air bag light stay's on that air is off with a passenger in the seat
Air bag light on dash remains on. Passenger air bag remains off when occupent is seated.
Takata recall. This vehicle was totalled in an accident on january 17, 2017. Through the fault of the driver, even though all of the airbags went off, there was no other damage to the car. Citizens hanover company had it totalled. The vehicle was in motion at the time of the accident. .updated 11/09/17 *bf updated 8/21/18
My vehicle has an issue where the passenger airbag is not active when an adult occupant is sitting in the passenger seat. The passenger airbag indicator lights up and indicates the passenger airbag is "off" when an adult occupant is sitting in the passenger seat. Even though there is an open recall (the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v244000) for this particular problem onmy vehicle. However, when I enter my vehicle identification number into the federal safety agency website, it does not show any outstanding recalls for my vehicle. The federal safety agency and nissan should double check the vehicles affected as part of the recall. The number of vehicles affected maybe greater than originally estimated since my vehicle was not part of the recall, yet it is experiencing the exact same symptom as outlined in the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v244000
Takata inflator. I received a letter from a nissan dealer about 2 months ago. It stated that I should bring in my vehicle to replace the passenger air. When I called to make an appointment I was informed that I would be called by the dealer when the they receive the air bag from the manufacturer. I have not heard from the dealer. When I checked the federal safety agency website, it did not show my vehicle as a recalled vehicle. I am confused. Is the dealer being honest. Previously, the dealer had requested that I bring in my vehicle. The dealer stated that the indicator light on the passenger air bag was not functioning properly. The dealer also stated that the repair was completed. On another occasion I was also told to bring in my vehicle for a transmission problem. The dealer also stated that the repair was properly completed. What action can I take in reference to the most recent request to replace the air bag? The date I received is approximate.
Front passenger air bag light on dash remains on, in the "off" lit position even with a passenger riding in the front passenger seat. The problem comes and goes intermittently. Sometimes it is on and sometimes it is off no matter if you are on a city street or going 60 MPH down a highway.
When dropping a friend off at his house he unbuckled his seatbelt got out of the car and the red seat belt light came on on the instrument cluster and the passenger airbag light remained off showing the airbag was still alive rather than lighting up to show that it is off. My car has been in the dealer to reprogram the computer twice to check why when a passenger set in the seat the airbag did not show active comma and the passenger airbag has been replaced by nissan for test purposes. The warning systems remained on as if someone was sitting in the seat until I turned the car off and started it at a later time.
2015 nissan altima was involved in an accident on 12 june 2017. While traveling on interstate, approximately 70 MPH traffic came to a complete and sudden stop.the front of the vehicle sustained major damage to the front of the vehicle. The front was crushed back about a foot. None of the airbags deployed in this accident. Luckily there were no serious injuries other than seat belt bruises. Insurance adjuster stated he was very surprised air bags did not deploy. The vehicle is being held pending investigation by nissan. I believe the federal safety agency should investigate also before someone is seriously injured or killed.
Front passenger seat airbag occupant sensor - previously had dealer reprogram sensor as the air bag off light would illuminate even when a passenger was present. This situation still sporadically occurs. Have vehicle at nissan dealer to re-program again. This will make the 2nd attempt to correct this safety problem. Was informed that they don't have a test requirement to perform after the recalibration. Will attempt to capture next occurrence by photo.
Air bag light comes on passenger side seat indicating air bag off,with passenger sitting in seat(passenger weighs over 115 #. I have brought car in for seat and air bag recall! Brought in 2 more times for same problem. Still same problems. Contacted nissan corp and told problem. As told by nissan rep that they spoke with dealership that all was done to correct problem and known of anything that they could do for problem. The problem does this erratically when car is in motion or stationary. I m am afraid to use auto with pass in seat not knowing if air bag would work in case of a accident.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. While driving various speeds, a bright yellow warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v244000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was unknown. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
After the airbag module was reprogrammed so the light would come on when the passenger seat was empty my brother who weighs 240 pounds sat in the passenger seat after I started the car and we drove away the light did not go out until 20 minutes past. My concern is does the system think he is under 50 pounds?
Niissan has tried to repair the passenger side airbag four(4) times. Intermittently turns off with passenger in front passenger seat. They have tried everything, but will not take car back. This was a recall already issued. To make matters worse my rental car is a 2017 nissan altima & it does the same thing. This happens when car is in motion or parked & running. This is a problem since june 2016. All videoes are too long to add.
Takata recall- the airbag light comes on occasionally when an adult is in the passenger seat. I have been in twice. My car has less than 8,000 miles. Not having a lot of faith in the airbags right now.
My 2015 altima airbag lights were on, I brought the car in for servicing on december 23rd to cover the recall. On the 29th with wife in car airbag light came back on dashboard. Sensor does not work properly in seat. Wife weighs over 120 pounds. I looked online and found many other people have the same issue with the recall, their car never receives the update and customers have to go back in repeatedly and the problem is never resolved. So airbags won't deploy now when my wife is a passenger. Nissan is not replacing everything they could to fix the problem. For some the reprogramming works. For others they need complete replacement of electronics. My car is going back in for what they call "servicing" as the recall was already preformed on the vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. While driving 35 MPH, the air bag warning indicator illuminated while the passenger seat was occupied.
