There was a vehicle at a complete stop doing an illegal left turn, the car behind him was able to swerve around him but I was not able to I hit the brakes twice all the way down and the car did not stop. At the impact the air bags did not deploy. There were not skid marks on the road either, making me believe that the brakes did not do its job. The vehicle is now at the shop waiting for my insurance adjuster to let me know what the next step is. I just spent $5,000 on the transmission just to have this issue arise, luckily my family and I were not seriously injured but it left my kids traumatized. No warnings were issued before the crash.

Couple of things, first the front passenger air bag is set to off when there is an adult sitting there, and I have a blinking airbag light, at all times no matter what. Second, there is a loud noise coming from the engine when I turn my heater on. I can also feel the vibration when I'm still. The SUV only has about 44K miles. I see this is a common issue that has not been addressed. I'm definitely disappointed.

I was backing from a parking space when I struck a passing car with the boat hitch on my rear bumper. It was a low-impact collision as we were both moving slowly in a parking lot. After getting out of the car to speak with the other driver, I returned to find that all of the air bags on the passenger side of my car (including front passenger seat and curtains from the front window to the rear) had deployed. No one was in the car at the time of impact but me. None of the air bags on the drivers side of the car deployed. I know Nissan has had passenger air bag problems in the past and before the accident, mine often showed that air bags were on when no one was in the passenger seat. Your database says there are no recalls on my VIN number so I assume that previous owners had the matter addressed before I bought the car from a Nissan dealership in 2018. My circumstance isn't identical to the air bag recall but is certainly ironic. Although I wasn't hurt, the air bags surely didn't help me. The wrong ones deployed and will cost $6,500 to replace. Can you do anything to help me?

Air bag light is going off

- Tampa, FL, USA

I was involved in an accident where another car clipped the back bumper of my Pathfinder going trough an intersection. It was enough to deploy my curtain airbags on the drivers side and the seat air bag in the drivers seat, but did minor damage to the back bumper on the drivers side. But, after everyone was out of my Pathfinder, a police officer noticed a fire inside the Pathfinder. It was located on the panel between the drivers side door and the back door on the drivers side. I don't have pictures (I didn't think to take any) and my insurance company is handling the police report and all the details, but the officer asked me to report this issue to you so I am.

I have received 2 notices concerning the NHTSA recall 16V-244. I have contacted Nissan of gadsden in gadsden, al several times and they tell me that they do not have the part in stock to fix my vehicle.

This pertains to 16V244000... with the exception of starting the vehicle, I had never seen this light come on until recently. My Pathfinder is largely used to move my children (both under the age of 4) to and from activities and run errands. 90% of the time I am driving there is no one in the front passenger seat. My wife rides upfront for family road trips and on the weekends. It was just recently that the light came on while she was in the seat alerting me to the faulty sensor. I called my local Nissan dealer and was advised that they did have a solution to this recall and could fix the issue that week. I took the car and waited patiently. Upon exiting the service center and getting ready to turn onto a major highway I noticed that the light was on... figuring someone had forgotten to reset something I turned around and returned to the dealership. There I was advised that, from now on, my passenger airbag warning light would remain on unless someone over 50lbs was seated in the passenger seat. I was shocked and complained to the service tech but was informed that Nissan had decided that cars with this issue would have a permanently disengaged passenger airbag if the seat was not occupied. I firmly believe that, rather than fixing this issue correctly with the same but functioning oem parts, Nissan has decided to implement a recall fix that saves them time and money. I tried getting accustomed to this warning light but it is the same color as my blind spot warning alerts so seeing it my peripheral vision is a constant distraction. I believe that the fix offered will ultimately make drivers ambivalent to the blind spot system and lead to a higher collision rate.
