Airbag light keeps blinking. After dealer diagnosed, determined faulty sensor b1018 passenger occupant sensor unit fail. I have not changed a seat or altered anything to the system. This is a safety issue and should be a recall since it involves the airbag system and many others have reported the same issue.

What 2010 Nissan GT-R owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The LED in my gtr cluster are no longer working, they are defective and are not replaceable = not being able to see the cluster driving at night time can be very dangerous. Safety is everything, nissan needs to understand the safety behind not being able to see the cluster while driving at night. The repair should be simple and repairable but in this case it is not.
Transmission on my 2010 nissan gtr failed at 40,138 miles. Nissan wants me to pay 18,000 to replace the transmission. Stated that they don't repair them. Car would not go into reverse or forward gears after normal driving. Nissan charged me 1034.00 dollars to look to see if they could identify the issue. No details included in the accessment but was informed that the transmission needed to be replace and it would cost ofer $18000.00 to replace. The transmission only has 40,138 miles on it and was having issues at 37000 miles.
Vehicle would not accelerate no power this could be linked to transmission issues had to pull over and restart the car at which point if seemed to clear the problem. After we added fuel if the vehicle gets down to a quarter of a tank problems start to happen gauge indicated that 64 miles of gas remained in the tank but the problem still took place moving at a speed of 45 miles an hour in rush hour traffice vehicle also stopped and could not be started when this took place.
Car woudl not go into reverse or forward gear after starting the engine. Stationary took the car to the dealer for repair and was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced at a cost of $18,000 this vehicle has less than 50,000 miles on it.
Fuel leaks out of the evap canister and onto rear passenger wheel fender liner under heavy driving and cornering. This leakage is also the source of very strong fuel fumes inside the cabin of the car. The evap canister is located ~6" upwind of the exhaust and has been seen to be the source of fires! I attach photos of fuel staining around the evap canister on my car. I have personally seen 2 nissan gt-rs catch fire due to this situation, & have photos (not attached).
Fuel leaks out of the evap canister and onto rear passenger wheel fender liner under heavy driving and cornering. This is located right next to the exhaust and has been seen to be the source of fires!
The lights go out for the gauge cluster routinely go out rendering drivers unable to read the gauges at night including the fuel gauge and speedometer. I noticed it when I started my car while in a dark location and was unable to see my temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and gear indicated gauge along with part of my tachometer. Many other owners experienced this same problem and there does not seem to be a related to anything caused by the owner. Nissan's solution is to replace the cluster with the same cluster that still has the faulty design and the lights still go out.
The instrument cluster lighting in the car has failed rendering the gauges/speedometer/etc unreadable at night. Nissan extended the warranty on this item but mine has been replaced and now has the exact same issue. This is a safety issue - not being able to read the speedometer at night is dangerous!
After filling tank (completely full), the gas pump handle shuts off to indicate full. After removing gas pump handle, the tank overflows.
