The air bag light started blinking. I took it to the dealer and after charging me $119.84 I was told that it could be repaired for a cost of $1136.00. I was told that the airbags may or may not go off if I were to have an accident. Sounds like a defect to me. I've owned a lot of cars and I've never had an airbag get worn out and break.

Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
About 2 weeks ago driving home from work my airbag light started blinking it has not stopped.
Passenger airbag warning light (warning that the airbags are off) is constantly on; no matter if no one, an adult, or a child is is in the passenger seat. Occurs when vehicle is idle or in motion. Seat belt warning light (warning that seat belts are not being used by driver or passengers) was constantly on, even though driver did wear a seat belt & no passengers were in vehicle. Spontaneously corrected itself; currently have no issue.
Takata recall. I believe my car is included in the recall. It is a nissan versa 2013. The airbag light had recently started flashing without anything major happening to the car. The passenger seatbelt light had started flashing after I was involved in a small hit and run accident that affected the rear of my vehicle. I was in full stopped motion at a turning red light and an unknown person had rear ended my car, shortly after I had noticed the passenger seatbelt light had started flashing. I am in fear that the airbag light might or might not have to do with the hit and run, but it just started a few weeks ago while the accident was over 2 years ago. Please review as this is really important to me and I fear that I might get injured if the airbags are recalled and I get into another accident. Thank you.
Air bag indicator light comes on when the car is started. I reset per manual and the air bag indicator continues to flash.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan versa. While driving various speeds, the cruise control activated independently. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence and parked overnight. Upon attempting to start the vehicle, it failed to start. An independent mechanic and dealer diagnosed the vehicle and stated that the fuel pump failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 47,000. The consumer also stated the air bag light illuminated and the vehicle continued to smell of gas, after the fuel pump was replaced. Also, the RPM fluctuated between 1500 to 3500 and the tire pressure light illuminated. Updated 10/13/16.

110 pound women sits in passenger seat and airbag light goes on and off randomly-took to dealer many times and they tell me working as designed-bbb auto sides with nissan-but told us they will give us a new seat that we are still waiting for-now ,end of march there is a recall on 990000 nissans for that problem- nissan versa was not in the recall and we are not the only one with the versa problem. We did everything possible so far,hopefully it will be resolved before anything drastic happens like with the recent chevy recall and deaths. I have to sit in that seat while my husband drives and it is so scary when that light goes on .please can you help us.

I was in the passenger seat for about 15 minutes and the passenger airbag light went on. Then went off minutes later. Has been doing this again and again. Could take hours before it happens or just minutes. Sometimes it goes on then 5 minutes goes off,other times will stay on for the whole trip. I weigh 115 pounds.
Whenever my wife who is about 100 pounds sits in the front passenger seat of our 2013 nissan versa ls, the airbag light goes on and the airbag safety feature is turned off. We are driving a rental from the dealer now, a 2013 nissan rouge and it works just fine. The dealer states that our versa works as intended???? Even with my wife and my 4 year old in the front passenger seat, now total of 132 pounds the airbag light still turns on and disengages the airbag safety feature.
