passenger airbag light turn off a few second after starting the vehicle. Nissan of Staten Island, NY Technician tried to perform zero-point rest but was unable to do. Found current code B0040-00 Occupant sensor unit in abnormal voltage and pass diagnostic trouble code B-00A0-02 occupant sensor unit malfunction. Recommended to replace occupant detector unit and seat frame . It costs $3,133.26. My concern is that this appears to be a known Nissan issue addressed in Technical Service Bulletin NTB19-071A, which applies to Nissan vehicles experiencing OCS sensor failures. While Nissan has acknowledged the issue through a technical bulletin, no recall was issued, leaving owners responsible for a very costly safety-related repair. I believe it is unreasonable for customers to bear the full cost of correcting a known defect involving the airbag occupant classification system, particularly when the repair exceeds $3,000.

The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the air bag warning light remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 46,000.
The passenger airbag light stays illuminated regardless if there is a passenger in the seat or not. A diagnostic scan was run and it is Code= B00A0:00. This issue has been under recall for model years up to 2017 and my car is a 2018. There is a service bulletin for this issue and I have been quoted several thousand dollars to fix it. The car was not in an accident and nothing precipitated this issue. It literally happened upon starting the car one day. The 2018 model year Nissan Rogue's should be included in the earlier recall of Nissan Rogues. It's apparently now my responsibility to pay out-of-pocket to insure my son's safety as I have been told the airbag system WILL NOT ENGAGE if the car is in an accident when this light is on--and the light never turns off. There were no warnings leading up to this issue. The light randomly turned on one day and has stayed on virtually every time driven since. The dealer is well aware of this ongoing issue with the Nissan Rogue.
The passenger Occupant Classification System is malfunctioning. The weight sensor under the passenger side is no longer detecting an adult sitting in the passenger seat. This part is able to be fixed but costs 8,000-9,000 to replace the whole seat and the sensor. The safety of anyone sitting in my car is at risk, with the airbag light on because the sensor malfunctioned the air bags will no longer deploy in the event of a car accident. This light has been on since I got the car as a lease. Instead of the dealership fixing it the illegally pushed my car through inspection. The same model of my car was recalled for years 2014- 2017 for the same exact reason and problem I am having with this vehicle. I have done extensive research on the matter and it is a VERY COMMON problem with this vehicle. So many others with the same model as me and other models as well including infinity have resorted to buying a Nissan 360 airbag emulator to override the airbag weight sensor, so that in a result of an accident, the airbags will still function. This is a temporary solution and shouldn't be something the owners of this vehicle have to deal with especially when the same model from a year before was recalled for this reason.
Supplemental airbag light stays on.
The air bag light keeps coming on and it stays on. Along with the forward collision light. That lights comes on whenever I try and brake.
