Air bag warning light comes on, stays on. Also, the "passenger air bag not on" light comes on, stays on. Took vehicle to a Nissan dealership (ABC Nissan, Phoenix, AZ) back in April, 2015, and they stated not sure what problem was. They "reset" the warning light? However, the same problem has returned. Feel unsafe driving vehicle with the airbag warning light coming on. Also, not sure if the driver side airbag is being also affected. I am unable to locate the "repair invoice" from ABC Nissan at this time to include with this report. My vehicle only has 43,000 miles at this time. It had around 33,000 miles back in April, 2015.
Passenger airbag warning light illuminated. In motion from a parking lot. Fuel gauge suddenly fell to empty on 07/10/2019 lights on dash illuminated showing need for upcoming service and tire pressure low.

The vehicle was taken to legend Nissan (268 jericho turnpike, syosset, NY 11791, (516) 496-8181) where it was diagnosed that the front crash zone sensor was degraded and needed to be repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced the same failure as listed in NHTSA campaign number: 08V690000 (air bags). The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not notified.

My air bag light has been on and took it into the dealership. Was told the front impact sensor was the issue, which was covered under a Nissan campaign for known issues. Truck was initially purchased in NY and driven on salted roads, which was the cause for sensor failure, however I lived in fl at the time the recall was issued. The campaign was 08V690000.

Passenger seat belt light flashes on, dealer says connected to computer under passenger seat (reset several times), light still flashes, dealership service says problem with seat sensor and not sure if air bag on passenger side will work or defective (want $800 to $3,000 to diagnose-fix-replace), Nissan corporate refuses to fix (says out of warranty), technician unable to say if air bag will deploy in an accident, service manager I deal with told me she had seen at least 10 similar problems with similar vehicles (X 8 service writers means at that dealership alone they have had at least 80 complaints in a month of the same nature X all dealerships??), Nissan corporate sent me a $250 gift card for other services at the dealership but refuses to acknowledge or address or attempt to fix a problem they admit they know they have (and I am only referring to Nissan Frontiers - not all other Nissan vehicles). May be a problem with the air bag or a problem with the computer or a problem with the seat sensor or an electrical issue.

My friend and I were traveling on the I-40E in New Mexico. He was driving my truck and feel asleep at the wheel. He woke up and oversteered and caused us to crash my truck into the right side highway ditch at about 70 miles per hour. We hit first with the front right of my truck and then tumbled 3 times smashing all sides of the truck especially the front. We had our seat belts on so we weren't ejected, but air bags never deployed. My dog was in the backseat of the 4 door truck and was ejected and died shortly after. I sustained several injuries to my face, head, arms, shoulders, and back.
Weather turned from rain to icy. South bound on street that overpass interstate. Truck spun around several times first in South bound lane hitting guard rail on West side, went over the curb and median into North bound lane spin again before coming to rest against 4ft high concrete divider on bridge. The driver side air bag is the only one that deployed. My wife was in passenger seat. No other air bags deployed. This truck had dual stage supplemental front air bags and Nissan aabs.. thankfully our seat belts were probably what protected us from being thrown from the truck. As I stated only the air bag in steering wheel deployed. This should be looked into with all the recalls going on. I had not received any notice about this problem. I went to emergency room the following Tuesday to get xray of chest because of pain. My wife went to her dr also.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The air bag sensor and the fuel level sensor were defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 37,000.
The red air bag warning light came on and has remained on. Additionally, the round yellow light on the lower part of the dash shows passenger seat air bag not on both when occupied and unoccupied. I have attempted to have national parts shop chains attempt to determine the reason, but they all say they cannot do so. The dealer's cost for any readouts is always cost prohibitive.

My husband was driving his 2006 Nissan Frontier and was about to merge onto the highway when the car in front of him threw on his brakes. He was only driving at less than 10 mph and tapped the car in front of him. The driver's front airbag deployed smacking him in the face. No one could ever explain why it would deploy with such a light impact. Fyi passenger side front air bag did not deploy!
