I had an airbag light come on recently. My Nissan dealer said there was something wrong with the side airbag which is built into the driver's seat and would require the back portion of the driver's seat to be replaced. This is a 2014 Altima with less than 30K miles on it already having an airbag fault out of nowhere with no accident. It concerns me that I am having to foot a $1600 bill to fix a piece of safety equipment that the manufacture seems to have poorly made.

Airbag light came on and the error code was B0020, which is the drivers side, they reset at the dealer. It came back on a week later and I took it back. They told me they checked the wires and it all looked fine. They don't know if the airbag will deploy if in an accident so I need to replace it and it will cost $1000. They also sold me the car in April and in may the light came on. Very annoyed by this.

Passenger airbag light indicator & passenger airbag on/off indicator remains on even when a passenger is seated in the front seat. I think this is a safety issue because the airbag will not deploy from an impact as needed. Request any assistance with this related safety issue. Thank you

First, the cvt blew on a 70mph highway. Got that fixed, Nissan North America and mentor Nissan helped. Nna paid 70% of a transmission. They are also reimbursing me for towing. Then, I have video proof, that after the recall, the OCS light is on while I have passengers in the car. Lastly, rear suspension arm rusting out (photo proof). This car is no longer safe to drive! the whole car should be recalled!

My air bag light stays on in my dash. Went to my local dealer to find out an old code B0020-13 was detected. They found everything to be fine, so they reset the code. The air bag light came back on two days later, and the same code came on again. They recommended a replacement of the side air bag module under the driver seat to repair the concern. They want to charge me $1600 for parts and labor, and what's worse, the sop part is on back order with no eta. So I asked the dealer what I am supposed to do, and if the car is safe to drive" he suggested that I shouldn't drive the car, but the part is not readily available any where in the United States? what kind of garbage is that? they offered me no solution to my problem, and I don't have another car to drive, and they can't even tell me when the part will become available???? does this mean that this problem is a problem all across the country, because why don't they have the part available" this is a safety issue!!!! if I were to get in a accident, then the side air bag would not deploy!!

We have not had any accident and the air bag lights came on. The vehicle was not moving. We turned it on in the morning and it came up. We did not know what it was at first until my husband friend informed it that it was the air bag about 2 days later when he sent him a picture.

Front passenger seat air bag does not always activate when a passenger is present. System does not so this VIN as part of previous recalls, but the current symptoms are exactly like previous recalls for this problem.
- Rogersville, AL, USA
On occasion when passenger enters vehicle, air bag indicator light does not go out giving the appearance that the vehicle does not think a passenger is in the vehicle. Typically occurs when passenger is entering vehicle at the same time the vehicle is being started. Can usually be 'resolved' by turning vehicle off and on again. Has occurred multiple times.
