When I backed up out of space and turned wheel air bag deployed. Lights flashing horn sounding alarms. Turned off vehicle call 911 fire department came to see if no danger of fire and if I was ok. Called ins company set up CV claim because air bag deployed for no apparent reason hit me in the chest possibly due to electrical something malfunctioned.police also came but said I did not need to report anything because I did not hit anything. Called geico had vehicle towed and because air bag deployed they created a claim. Had vehicle towed to firestone but they were closed today adjuster from insurance company coming out tomorrow 892021 to assess damage and repairs needed.

Takata inflators, I received an email from the federal safety agency back in july 2018. Exactly a few days later my airbag lights came on again. I haven't had time to take my car to nissan. I took it in today 2/16/19 and mcdavid nissan is telling me that my car doesn't have a recall. They won't fix it they want me to pay $800+ to repair it. I've already had to take my car here 2 other times for the same issue. When it had recalls for airbags. I'm guessing the recall isn't active so they're not seeing it. My car was parked in my garage next day the airbag lights came on.
The driver side airbag were replaced but the airbag light still is blinking which could cause the airbag to explode.this light has been blinking for over 6 years... Should be under warranty and fixed.. This apparently is a problem with the wiring harness in the steering wheel.as soon as I start the car the airbag light is blinking constantly
I had my car serviced at david mcdavid nissan. I had it serviced in august 2017 for the airbags. Then in december my airbag lights came on. Both the driver and passenger lights are on. I took it back to the same dealership and they said there was another recall for the airbags. After a month of the dealership having my car the airbag lights are still on. They told me that the airbag lights being on had nothing to do with the recall
1) the air bag lights flash on and off without warning and reason. They have not ever deployed (yet). Vehicle is in motion when this happens. 2) my husband's right shoe often gets caught on the edge of the center console panel-making is difficult to move his foot to the brake. We have had two near missed when he was trying to hit the brakes. The vehicle is in motion and these incidences occur when we are trying to transition from accelerator to brake. 3) windshield-a small pebble hit the windshield and caused a little damage. We took it to get repaired (not replaced). It just recently cracked and now the whole windshield needs to be replaced. I have had a couple windshields repaired on other vehicles and have had not had problems. I have called a local nissan dealer to make an appointment to fix these issues. Recall #"s 17v‑144 15v‑507
Takata airbag. There was a loud pop in my steering wheel one day while I was driving,(nothing was hit). Then my airbag light came on and stayed on ever since. Now my horn does not work. I am afraid that if I am ever in an accident my airbag will not work properly. However for some reason my VIN is not included in the recall and now nissan is telling me that I have to pay 150 just to do a diagnostic to see what's wrong.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 nissan versa. While the vehicle was in drive, the power door locks unlocked. Also, the gears independently shifted out of drive, reverse, and neutral without warning.
