On October 29, 2016 my airbag light came on and stayed on. Took it to Jenkins Nissan of Leesburg FL. They charged me $95 to check the problem, then said it would be $800 to replace the module but if that didn-€™t work the next thing they could try would be $1,000, but they could not guarantee that it would fix the problem. Then my tire pressure light came on and stayed on about 3 years ago-€¦same scenario with Jenkins Nissan-€¦ you pay us, but no guarantee that they can fix it. Then my horn stopped working about a year ago. Same scenario with Jenkins Nissan. I took my truck to another mechanic, everything is fixed for one price. The problem with everything was evidently connected. These issues in my opinion are safety hazards and should be recalled.

Started my Nissan up and noticed the airbag light was on, no one sitting in the passager seat, it blinks off and on all the time now. I took to dealer and they tell me that the passager seat sensor is bad to fix it is going to cost $2900. I drove it the day before and everything was fine

Vehicle has flashing air bag light on. Dealer tells me the fix costs $2,500 dollars to repair! the vehicle has 59,757 miles on the odometer. The problem is a weight seat sensor in the passenger seat. The air bag light continues to flash when the vehicle is in motion. There has been a recall on this vehicle for the roof roll over (takata air bag sensor''?.)

The contact owned a 2010 Nissan Frontier. While driving approximately 60 mph, the driver's side air bag erroneously deployed without a crash or impact as a result, the driver lost control of the steering and crashed into a fence. The driver sustained injuries to both legs, chest, and neck. Medical attention was not received. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 139,000. Updated 06/08/17

Passenger side airbag is not in the on position (light stays on) when small stature female is sitting in seat; she tried various positions to activate it (turn off light) but was unsuccessful; it appears that the sensors are not sensitive enough to pick up the weight of a person under 125 to 130 pounds; vehicle was in motion and stationary

Air bag light continuously stays on, according to manual it means there is a problem with air bag deploying in a accident, called Nissan headquarters and they want $125 to see what the problem is. To me this should be corrected for free because this is a serious safety issue.
