2016 Nissan Pathfinder airbags problems

Filed Apr 13, 2024 · Airbags · WI

Occupant Air bag sensor is on constantly and Air bag light on dashboard. My vehicle has never been in an accident. There was a recall issued for my vehicle in 2016. I purchased my car in 2017 new and it was overstock vehicle. The recall was cleared in August 2016 by dealer and I just found this out when vehicle was taken to Nissan dealership for different recall on 4/6/24. Since the vehicle is out of warranty now dealership will not clear recall again but state it is the exact same code. Advised me to contact Nissan USA but they denied my claim for repair. This is an extreme safety hazard and Nissan should honor there safety recall repairs in and out of warranty. Please review my claim because I have seen more complaints online.

Passenger Airbag sensor not showing that airbag is on for front passenger seat even though passenger sitting there. Recall issued in 2016 and Nissan still does not have a fix for this yet.

The passenger airbag doesn’t activate at all. The OCS sensor is faulty. When someone sits in the front passenger seat, the airbag remains off. This is a known defect with Nissan Pathfinders. We were told ours will not be fixed as our VIN is not included in the recall. However, this exact defect is known and has been recalled in hundreds of thousands Nissan Pathfinders, including the 2016 model year. Not fixing this can result in death or dismemberment in the case of a collision in which the airbags should deploy and do not. After much correspondence with Nissan, they refuse to pay to fix this know defect because our specific VIN was not included. We are asking to include our VIN in this know defect recall.

When I purchased this vehicle I quickly noticed a feature or standard that this vehicle has concerning passenger safety vs airbag ON/OFF There is a lamp beside the display area that indicates if the pass bags are on (lamp is off) or if they are off (lamp is on) If the passenger is under a certain amount the airbag turns itself off...At least that was my observation for at least 4 months after purchase. This standard/feature isn't working anymore I guess? Because the lamp is always ON stating that the passenger airbags are OFF. I notified the dealership, they said they could not inspect the issue unless I paid for their time and then service (fix of the issue)

The passenger side air bag light will light up thaymt it is disables when a passenger is occupying the seat. It will not go off to indicate that the airbag is turned on foe the seat occupant until I turn the car off and restart. May have to repeat a couple times or have passenger step out of car, sit back on seat and reconnect lap belt.

When you move front seats forward or back the airbag sensor under the seats breaks. The air bag off light is always lit up for passenger seat even when adult sits there, and the drivers airbag light is blinking on dashboard all the time. A week after buying vehicle I took it back to dealer and they said it was a recall and it was fixed. A week later it was back on I went back and they said nothing they can do it was already fixed. Nissan dealership told me same thing. It is not fixed and now I am paying car payments for a car I can't get an inspection sticker on, so I can't drive it. If it was a recall and they claim to have fixed it and the same problem happens again it should be fixed with an improved part so it don't happen again. The dealership also told me with those lights on there is a possibility of the airbags going off for no reason or they may not go off when in an accident. This is a serious problem and needs to be taken seriously but instead I am being told I need to pay for the recalled problem because they fixed it once already. Clearly they didn't fix it properly or at all but my vin number says it was done.

Passenger side air bag indicator is off all the time even with an adult in the seat. The red blinking indicator light flashes for the air bag on the control panel. The air bag cannot be manually turned on or off. If in a crash I do not know if the air bag will deploy. Your site shows 0 recalls other sites show a sensor recall. What do I do?

I purchased a used nissan pathfinder in july 2019. When I purchased the vehicle I also purchased a full-coverage warranty through the dealership, however, the dealership claims that they have no responsibility to help me. Their reasoning is that they are not a nissan dealer yet, they sold me a vehicle that is potentially dangerous for my children to be in and refuse to honor the warranty or help otherwise. The airbag off light will turn on while adults are sitting in the front passenger seat. It also comes on even when my 160 lb son is in the front seat. According to my research the was a recall on the airbags on this particular vehicle a few years ago that was supposedly previously addressed, however this continues to be an issue. Additionally I was sold a vehicle with no insulation in the doors and no seals on the bottoms of the doors. The inside of the vehicle (especially now thar it's verging on winter) gets frigid and you can even feel the wind coming through the window controls and buttons on the doors.

Re: recall 16v244000 nissan pathfinder was recalled to fix passenger airbag sensor. Within 2 months after repair problem began again intermittently. Approx 30% of starts showed pass airbag off in spite of passenger in place. This would correct by restarting vehicle. This was reported to dealer at every 5000 mile service and had adjustments made a few times. Airbag sensor would be fine for a few weeks, then start acting up again. The last dealer visit (55000 miles) no problem was found. This now happens on 75 % of vehicle starts, and simply restarting is not always effective. Repeated restarts (3-4) usually corrects problem, or at least turns off the "airbag disabled" light although we sometime need to take short trip without airbag protection for my wife. I think another recall is in order for this vehicle. The consumer stated the after being repaired, the airbag failed 4 days later. *js the consumer stated the manufacturer determined the airbag was operating as designed. The consumer's wife was considered a small adult so, the airbag did not activate.
