The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the air bag sensor located in front of the radiator had failed and needed to be replaced; however, the vehicle was not repaired because the Part Number: 98581-9BD8A; had been on backorder for approximately 6-12 months. The dealer was contacted and confirmed that the part was not available. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 113,000.

I took videos of all the different occurrences.I went back to the dealership and talked to the salesman that sold it to us.his name was simon.and he brought us in, and we were talking to a manager they disconnected the battery and try to reset it as we were leaving, the salesman walked us out.when we fired up the vehicle, the whole dash flashed and went black in front of the salesman.a day later, we broke down in the truck and had to be jumped.we took it to the dealership, and they put a new battery in and a couple days later, it came on again.but took it in again, and they put us in a rental car for a week they told us when we got the truck back that they changed a airbag sensor and then a couple weeks later, my son was driving and the vehicle stalled on him while driving it took him 4x to fire it back up. When it did fire back up, it would only go 7 mile an hour. And it was jerking forward. He took it directly to nissan. They ran some diagnostic on it. And disconnect the battery again, but they couldn't see it. Do it again. So on [xxx] the airbag light came back on. And finally on september 11th we took it back to the dealership, and they put us in a rental car. And the mechanic told us that he thinks that it possibly could be the indicator light. The parts manager at daytona nissan said he's looked on the website and they said that the part that we need is on. Indefinite, back order and probably won't get it.

2015 Nissan Frontier, air bag light came on, replaced clock spring, and no fault found, no change to air bag warning, blinking light still on.
The passenger dashboard airbag keeps generating error codes and the airbag light continually flashes. There have been 2 costly repair attempts by a Nissan dealership, but the problem persists. The dealership stated the passenger airbag was not functioning properly. They want to try a 3rd repair attempt which is the most expensive yet. I have been in contact with Nissan customer service and they have split the repair costs with me thus far on 2 of the repairs. At this point they are just throwing parts at the problem hoping something fixes the issue without knowing or properly diagnosing which component is actually at fault. The problem first manifested in August 2024 at around 62k miles. The light came back on within 5 days of the first attempt. Likewise the light came back on within a few days after the 2nd repair attempt. I am not confident the 3rd attempt will address the issue either.
I took my truck in to a dealership to fix the airbag recall. I do not believe they fixed it because the airbag light is still on on my dash board. It is the only light on as this truck is low miles and regularly maintained.. I asked them and they just said, "we fixed it." However, they did not.
The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the air bag warning light illuminated. The air bag light warning light illuminated and remained constantly illuminated since the day of the failure. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not repaired because it was not under recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.
Air bag light began blinking. I brought it to a nissan dealer for service and that have replaced and charged me for multiple parts in excess of $2,000.00. They stated my car was ready and repaired. Upon picking up my car the light was still blinking. They stated it's additional parts and cost to finish repair but if I wanted the car for the weekend I can have it and return when the parts come in. They were going to give my car back to me with a defective air bag system which I feel is extremely unsafe. They also damaged my front bumper which they had to repair. I don't feel they changed out some parts they charged me for. The car has been with them for repair since 08/22/2024. Nissan is not standing behind their product or safety.
The airbag warning light is blinking and has been for approximately 9 months. I live in Salida, CO which does not have a Nissan Dealership to take my vehicle into for servicing. I recently saw an article on Fox 31 News pertaining to the same airbag malfunction and would like to know what to do about my problem.
