Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
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.
Airbag light flashing, then horn didn't work; now the cruise control is not working. I see several similar problems noted in the database. Several close calls without the horn.
My SRS indicator light stays on in my car when I'm driving it, or it could be sitting running.car will not pass inspection without repairs
Airbag light continuously blinks on an off.
The air bag light keeps flashing. My grandmother took it to the dealer and they said it needed to be reset, she drove off and a mile later the light came back on. I have not taken it back to the dealer yet, but I see other drivers are reporting the same problem with this car. I googled how to reset it, did it myself, but as soon as you start driving it comes back on.
Airbag lights flashing so airbag wont work if there is an accedent need to see if there was a recall anytime
Air bag light has come on for no apparent reason. Steering wheel controls, including radio and cruise control no longer work and haven't for some time now. The "wheels" or "hubcaps" peeled off and look terrible. When driving over 60 MPH the car shakes. One owner - 142,000 miles
