What owners say
The airbag light will not go off. Code: b00a0. Attempted to reset the airbag light and it did not help. Checked the connection to the ocsm. Unplugged it and plugged it bag in. Airbag light is still continuously blinking. It blinks when there is a passenger and when there isn't a passenger. This has been an ongoing issue.
The passenger side airbag disabled light inadvertently remained lit, & the red airbag warning light stays on indicating the car's airbag system is disabled completely. Car was being driven on secondary roads when condition occurred.
Airbag light on dash blinks, no recall is showing for my vehicle VIN. Airbag has never been deployed. Displays regardless of speed. Has been occurring for months (nearly a year as best I can recall), this is the first I became aware of a method to report.
This car has only 34,000 miles on it and the air bag warning light has come and is flashing constantly ... Given the mileage of the car I was shocked and amazed that I would be having a problem. Other problem I've had is that it has staled out a couple of times for not reason at all when pulling out onto the road.
Takata recall possible - airbag indicator light flashes off and on often more noticeable over the last 1-2 months
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan versa note. The contact stated that the SRS indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (hertich nissan, 1370 s dupont hwy, dover, de 19901) where it was diagnosed that the air bag would not deploy and the seat assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and opened case number: 29008778. The contact was informed that there was no recall on the vehicle. The failure mileage was 93,499.
Similar to recall 16v244000. Air bag light going on and off while driving down the road with either an adult or a 12 year old girl in the seat. First happened last year, dealer checked and reset the sensor as a "customer courtesy" so there is no paper trail. Happened again while on vacation. Took it to the nearest dealer who again reset the seat sensor on 04/19/2017. Issue reoccurred today, 04/26/2017. Sometimes just the passenger airbag light goes on or off. Other times, the air bag indicator on the dash will also illuminate. It can occur while stationary, backing out of the driveway, while on neighborhood roads, intermediate roads and on the highway. We've pulled over, shut off and restarted the car, no change in behavior. It hasn't been into the dealer yet for today's issue, but the symptoms are the same as the previous two times. Three times in one year would indicate a flaw in a component or system to me.
Air bag indicator that a person of 5'6"/110 lbs sitting centered in the front passenger seat does not turn on the airbag. Took the vehicle to a dealership service department and was told nothing was wrong. I am filing this with the knowledge that this problem has been reported for other models by this manufacturer in the same model year.
Front passenger air bag stopped activating when there was an adult in the seat. The light displays showing it's disabled and the air bag warning light is constantly flashing on the driver's side control panel. Not sure if timing was coincidence or not, but this started happening immediately after I placed a 12-pack of soda on the seat for a few block drive home from the store. It disabled the air bag while the 12-pack was on the seat, and then it never re-engaged for an adult in the seat. Repair appointment scheduled with the dealership.
