2008 Nissan Sentra airbags problems

Filed Mar 20, 2023 · Airbags · CA

The car's airbag dashboard light has been on and blinking for about a month now- indicating an issue. I have not been in any recent accidents and it appeared on its own. Subsequently, the car horn does not work. Airbags and car horn are necessary to prevent accidents and serious injury, including death in the event of an accident. I advised my local Nissan dealership who stated there are no current recalls and the car would need to be inspected- which will likely be costly. No inspections have been made at this time.

The contact stated that while her daughter was driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle in front abruptly depressed its brake pedal causing the driver to crash into the rear of the vehicle. During the crash, the front end of the vehicle was severely damaged but no air bags were deployed. No injuries were reported. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 117,000.

Driver Air bag sensor light came on. The dealership reset it several times but it continues to come on. We paid the money to have them put the car on the diagnostic system. They are saying after review, the airbag needs to be replaced. It costs $1500 to replace the airbag. Which makes zero sense. The car has never been wrecked. Reports have shown issues with airbags in hundreds of thousands of Nissans. The 2008 Nissan Sentra needs to be reviewed for an airbag recall. This is extremely dangerous.

Air bag light flashes on dash won't go off. This should be a safety issue... Over 10 in the last year alone reported same problem

The airbag light blinks constantly warning the owner there is a problem with the unit. Other years and models are affect by recalls and I believe this year make and model should also be.

My air bag light will not go off it was idle when it came in but it is constantly blinking , the horn completely stopped working the first time when I was turning the corner, I generally replaced it twice but it stopped working again, and again, and as I was sitting idle my check engine light came on even after I have been keeping the maintenance up on it.

Airbag light is on. I took it to a certified dealer and they said it it something to do with a 'coil' that went bad

Air bag light remains on and blinking continously. The horn also stopped working. Feels very unsafe driving without a horn. Since both the airbag and horn are in the steering wheel and reading through several other similar complaints I would assume they are related. Should be recalled as many other nissans have been recalled with the same issue.

Airbag light flashes constantly on dash panel. Came on while driving and will not go out. Has been reset but comes back on after driving within short distance. Car has not been wrecked in front and I am original owner. Concerned for our safety as we are afraid airbag may not deploy in case of an accident. We do not believe safety equipment should fail so quickly. Also see online where many other owners are experienceing same problem. Would like to see a recall to fix this safety issue. Thank you.
