The driver airbag light stays on, on the dashboard. It turns on when I start the car and it stays on. One day it was off when I first turned on the car, but as I drove a couple of blocks it turned on. I went to a mechanic and he ran a diagnostics and it came back with code b00a0-00 occupant detection system data 4 sensor - history fault. He suggested I go back to nissan. Nissan told me there are no recalls and I would have to first pay $180.00 for them to run a diagnostic test and then pay for any repairs. I am concerned as this is a safety issue, I am not sure if the drivers air bag will deploy. I have never been in an accident with this car and it has low mileage about 12,200 miles.

I have gotten 6 recalls for my car when I bought it 3 months ago from crowly kia in bristol ct. 5 of the recalls are for airbags and 1 of them is for the electrical and they all popped up on my credit karma account all in red, so I'm taking that as they need to be fixed and I have called nissan and they are saying that non of them are showing up in their data base but why do I have them on credit karma all in red? I have them all printed up with the campaign number and recall id number and credit karma is telling me that they need to be fix which is why they are in red and not green. So can someone please call me and explain this to me and I can tell there is something wrong with the electrical system which is one of my recalls. My number is (860)776-8239

Filed Oct 11, 2017 · Airbags, Brakes · 63,000 miles · DE · crash · 2 injuries

Brakes failed to function when attempting to stop while going 35 MPH on a dry, straight roadway. The pedal had some tension behind it but didn't feel right, kind of spongy and it went all the way to the floor. Several pumps of the break did not result in significant braking so I spun the steering wheel to the right to try to avoid the car that was stopping, but could not clear it and my car has been totaled and I am in pain. Airbags also failed to deploy, and I'd have thought a 35 MPH crash should have been sufficient to trigger the inertia sensor.

The ocs does not detect an adult occupant in the passenger seat, the passenger air bag is deactivated. Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk injury or death to the passenger. This issue has been escalated to the elk grove nissan repair center multiple times. Elk grove informed me they reset the programming of the sensor and uninstalled and installed the seat to try to resolve the issue. The issue continues to occur especially when the vehicle has been parked on a non level surface for a period of time.

Recall #r1608 ; 3) the federal safety agency recall #16v-24; and 4) the occupant classification system(ocs) designed to classify the size/weight of front seat passenger, and under certain conditions, automatically turn off the passenger airbag.
