2014 Nissan Pathfinder Air Bags

MY PASSENGER SEAT STOPPED SENSING SOMEONE SITTING IN THE SEAT AND WOULDN'T TURN ON. THEN, A COUPLE DAYS LATER THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON FLASHING. I WAS NOT IN ANY KIND OF ACCIDENT WHATSOEVER NOR WAS THERE A REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. MEDFORD NISSAN TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR IT THAT I HAD TO PAY 120.00 JUST FOR THEM TO DETECT WHAT WAS WRONG. THEN THEY WANTED ME TO PAY TO FIX IT. I DID NOTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. SCROLLING THROUGH AIRBAG COMPLAINTS FROM THE 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDERS IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE.

ON 7/19/19, MY CAR WAS SERVICED FOR BROKEN PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR DUE TO TECHNICIAN FINDING WATER BOTTLE UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. PAID $638 FOR THE REPLACEMENT. LESSON LEARNED, NO WATER BOTTLES ALLOWED IN CAR. LESS THAN 2 MONTHS LATER, ON 9/12/19, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHTS GO ON AGAIN!! BROUGHT CAR TO SERVICE ON 9/19 AND TECHNICIAN FINDS CLIP TO SENSOR SNAPPED. NO WATER BOTTLE, NO KNOWN REASON WHY THE SENSOR IS BROKEN. HAD TO PAY ANOTHER $189 TO REPLACE IT AGAIN!! I'M TIRE OF THIS PATTERN IF YOU JUST SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, OR BREATHE THERE, THE SENSOR WILL BREAK!! NISSAN HAS DONE A HORRIBLE JOB AT DESIGNING A PROTECTIVE AREA AROUND THE AIRBAG SENSOR!! I CONTACTED CONSUMER SERVICES AT NISSAN AND THEY JUST TOLD ME THEY WILL REVIEW THE CASE AND IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT AFTER MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I AM FURIOUS AND EVEN MORE CONCERNED THAT THERE WILL BE MORE SENSOR FAILURES AND AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONS IN THE NEAR FUTURE!! I FEEL NISSAN'S POOR QUALITY IS DISRUPTING MY FAMILY LIFE AND MY WORK. I CAN'T KEEP GOING BACK TO GET THIS SERVICE REPEATEDLY!! THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION & RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ASAP!!

'TAMARA RECALL.' PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS LIT ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN AN ADULT SITS IN SEAT.

BOUGHT CAR A YEAR AGO, EVERYTHING FINE. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG STOPPED WORKING OR STOPPED DETECTING ANYONE SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT. AN APPARENT KNOWN ISSUE FOR NISSAN FROM 2013-2017. I WAS DRIVING WHILE I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT AND NOTICED THE AIRBAG WAS TURNED OFF. AND LIGHT WAS FLASHING. THE PERSON WAS OVER THE WEIGHT LIMIT THAT TURNS IT OFF. I TRIED REACHING OUT TO NISSAN AND THEY STATED IT'S ONLY VIN SPECIFIC BUT YET IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH BOARD STAYS ON. PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF.

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT (INDICATING AIRBAG OFF) REMAINS ON AT TIMES WHEN ADULT PASSENGER PRESENT. ALSO, LIGHT OFTEN GOES OFF WHEN NO PASSENGER PRESENT. THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT IT SHOULD BE. CAR HAS BEEN RETURNED TO DEALER MANY TIMES, BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS.

MY VEHICLE IS REPORTING TO ME THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS OFF. EVEN WHEN A PASSENGER IS SEATED IN THE SEAT AND THE VEHICLE IS DRIVER, THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON. IT CAME ON 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE AND THE DEALER STATES THEY WILL HAVE TO CHARGE ME TO CHECK THE ISSUE. IT SEEMS THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL PATHFINDER. THE LIGHT DOES NOT TURN OFF. IVE TRIED RESETTING TRICKS AND STILL NO RESULT.

I STARTED SEEING THE AIRBAG INDICATOR FLASHING ON MY DASHBOARD. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN CAR DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A WATER BOTTLE THAT ROLLED UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT AND CAUSED THE SENSOR TO BREAK. I BELIEVE THAT IS A BAD DESIGN FROM NISSAN, THAT ALLOWS A CRITICAL SENSOR TO BREAK EASILY BY A SOFT WATER BOTTLE THAT ROLLED UNDER THE SEAT, CAUSE THE AIRBAG NOT TO DEPLOY, WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES TO ME OR A FAMILY MEMBER SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THERE IS A RECALL ALREADY RELATED TO THAT SENSOR, THAT CAN CAUSE THE AIRBAG NOT TO DEPLOY, BUT I THINK PROTECTING THE SENSOR UNDER THE SEAT IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE, THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR SOMETIME BEFORE NOTICING THAT THERE MIGHT BE AN AIRBAG ISSUE.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND THE PARTS HAVE NOT BECOME AVAILABLE. IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR NOW.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V344000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD CALL TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT ONCE THE PARTS WERE SUPPLIED FROM THE MANUFACTURER, BUT THE CALLER RECEIVED NO FOLLOW-UP FOR MONTHS. THE DEALER AND THE INTERIM NOTICE FROM THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I CHECKED YOUR SITE AND FOUND NO RECALLS FOR MY WIFE'S VEHICLE. LAST THURSDAY 6/15 AT 5:15 I WAS ABOUT TO MERGE INTO AN EMPTY MERGE LANE WHEN I THOUGHT WE WERE HIT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG HAD DEPLOYED. IMMEDIATELY PULLING OVER AND VACATING ALL FROM THE SUV I CHECKED THE EXTERIOR DAMAGE AND FOUND NONE. HAD JUST COME AROUND A SLOW CURVE AND WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT WITH ALL THE WINDOWS OPEN, I WAS ACCELERATING FROM 25 TO GET UP TO 50 WHEN WE FELT THE EXPLOSION. HUMIDITY WAS ABOUT 80%. I AM ON BLOOD THINNERS AND MY DOCTOR IS WATCHING FOR SIGNS OF A BRAIN BLEED. MY LEFT ARM WAS BRUISED BEHIND THE ELBOW AND MY FOREARM HAD A 1ST DEGREE BURN. 34008 MILES ARE THERE OTHER INSTANCES OF PATHFINDER AIR BAGS DEPLOYING ON THEIR OWN.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

WHILE DRIVING APPROX 20 MPH I BUMPED AGAINST THE CURB ON THE ROAD I WAS DRIVING. THIS INSIGNIFICANT BUMP CAUSED THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG AND PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. MY WIFE AND SON WERE TAKEN TO THE ER. VEHICLE WAS NOT STRUCK, NO BODY DAMAGE, SOME CURB RASH ON THE WHEELS. OVER AGGRESSIVE AIR BAG INFLATION.

RECEIVED A RECALL FOR OCS SENSOR. BROUGHT CAR INTO NISSAN PREMIER OF METAIRIE. AFTER REPAIRING SENSOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OUT. CAR WAS BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER. I WAS TOLD THE LIGHT WAS SUPPOSED TO STAY ON AND ONLY GO OFF IF IT DETECTED SOMEONE IN THE SEAT. THIS DOES NOT SOUND CORRECT. I DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM PRIOR TO HAVING THE OSC SOFTWARE PUT INTO MY VEHICLE. NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY AS THOUGH THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE LIGHT COMES ON WHENEVER I AM DRIVING THE CAR AND ONLY GOES OFF WHEN AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. *TR

THE AIRBAG WARNING LITE COMES ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED & FREQUENTLY STAYS ON FOR THE ENTIRE TRIP EVEN WHEN A HEAVY ADULT IS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT.

RECALL 16V-244. I WAS NOTIFIED IN MAY ABOUT THIS RECALL BY NISSAN BUT NO PARTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE FOR REPAIR. THIS IS AN AIR-BAG SAFETY ISSUE. NISSAN NEEDS TO MADE THIS RECALL A HIGHER PRIORITY.

I HAVE RECEIVED TWO SAFETY RECALL NOTICES FROM NISSAN STATING THAT I NEED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN TO GET A PASSENGER AIRBAG ISSUE CORRECTED. HOWEVER, I TOOK MY CAR TO AUTO NATION NISSAN ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER A PART TO FIX THIS RECALL AND THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PART CAME IN. THEY DID NOT CALL ME AND AFTER A FEW WEEKS I CALLED BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART HAS NOT COME IN YET AS THERE ARE SO MANY VEHICLES THAT NEED THIS RECALL AND NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO HANDLE ALL OF THE REQUESTS. I WAS ADVISED THAT SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME TO DISCUSS THIS AND I NEVER RECEIVED THAT PHONE CALL. MY SON (WEIGHT ABOUT 105 LBS) IS OFTEN IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND SOMETIMES THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND SOMETIMES IT IS OFF, SO I DO NOT TRUST IT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I SIMPLY WANT TO HAVE THIS RECALL HANDLED ASAP BY NISSAN. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE THAT CAN BE DONE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

OCS PROBLEM WITH AIRBAG; GUESS THIS WOULD BE THE TAKATA INFLATOR; NOT SURE. RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE IN MAY AND DEALER STILL DOES NOT HAVE RECALL PART. SO NO ONE CAN RIDE IN MY PASSENGER SEAT; VERY INCONVENIENT. AND UNSAFE; SPENT ALOT OF MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE.
