My airbag light and seatbelt light are on and the horn has stopped working. Frame and front suspension is making a horrible creaking sound and has been for months. Frame seems to be rotted … I’ve taken it to multiple places to have it looked at…. I’ve also seen other complaints on here of people having the same issue! This poses a huge safety risk! Definitely needs a recall for both issues!

What owners say
My airbag light is flashing and my horn has stopped working.
The passenger air bag light off comes on at times.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 nissan pathfinder. While the vehicle was stationary, the passenger side air bag indicator illuminated without warning. The vehicle was repaired, but the issue recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 38,000.
My airbag light keeps flashing on and off. The dealer said it is the airbag switch. I had to pay $150.00 to get it diagnosed and the 2 front airbags will need to be replaced at the total of $2500.00. My vehicle has only 46,000 miles, this should be a safety issue. I see there are a lot more having the same problem. This happened when I switch the car on and remains on.
After stopping at stop sign and turning. The airbag indicator light started flashing. Took it to the dearlership it was bought from. They "repaired" the problem. After traveling less than 2 miles from dealerships,the light started back flashing. I returned to dealership. They wanted to know if I had wrecked the vehicle. I have not. After 2 hrs, they said I would have to replace the spiral cable and it was not covered by the extended warranty. It would be close to 600 dollars. I was also told that if an accident were to occur, my airbags would not deploy. I feel this is a safety issue that should be addressed. That is like telling someone the seatbelt in their car will not work. Not everyone has that kind of money to spend these days.
