Air bag light is on. Nissan dealer wants $800 to repair.
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at undisclosed speeds, the air bag warning light was flashing. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined that the failure was due to a fault with the air bag. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 202,878.
Airbag light continuously blinks on dashboard, I took it into my local dealer and they said it is due to the passenger seat airbag sensor failure. This was not caused by user error, but I feel is a defect in the vehicle itself.
The passenger seat sensor does not work anymore. So the passenger side airbag does not register anyone in the seat and is always turned off. The passenger side air bag will not fire if there is a crash. Confirmed by mechanic, the sensor failed and need to replace the entire seat to make it work. The light is showing that the airbag is off even when someone sits in the seat. Not sure how long ago this started.
Air Bag warning light blinks 1 long and 5 short blinks. Scan shows code of B1018-00 which is passenger seat occupation seat sensor failure meaning even if seat is occupied, air bag will not deploy. Nissan has no coverage for this but earlier and later models did have recall coverage with only the 2013 year not recalled or just ignored. Let's get this handled please.
Airbag constantly flashing.. Purchased vehicle a week ago and dealership will not fix issue. This 2013 should've been included with airbag defect.
Recently the Air bag light on dashboard continually flashing. No collision. They do not turn off. I cannot reset
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving approximately 5-10 MPH, the air bag safety warning light became illuminated. The contact stated that the passenger’s side air bag warning light was flashing on and off. The contact stated that the air bag sensor failed to operate as designed. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the air bag sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and transferred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to file a complaint. The failure mileage was approximately 134,000.
The airbag light is flashing on off in a repeat pattern continuously. Mileage is about 75,000. Attempts to reset it using the key switch on-off method have not been successful. I see other owners have filed complaints of similar nature. Taking it to dealer for evaluation and subsequent repair if any. However wanted to report the problem in case this is a widespread occurrence with other owners also
Driver’s side airbag warning, airbag not functional. Airbag function alert light (flashing) came on with every vehicle start, and continues during car operation. There have been no impacts, dash services or events since car was new, that might cause alert. Dealer says defective parts in airbag harness and sensor need to be replaced, at our cost.
Safety issue in passenger seat airbag, continuing/multiple occurrences. “Passenger airbag off” warning has been coming on at every startup, with a passenger in seat. Have to stop, turn ignition off & back on, and usually resets after 7 second wait. No amount of waiting resets it. Dealer said switch in seat is defective, requires seat replacement at our cost, yet problem is most likely NOTP in seat, IS in controller, as evidenced by ability to reset via ignition).
Airbag light flashing on and off, code B1054 shows driver airbag module(open).
The airbag light on the console has been flashing for some time. I took it into the dealership, and they first replaced the airbag module. That has not resolved the flashing light so now they want to replace the clock spring. I am concerned that since the 2014 model has recalls concerning airbags, the 2013 might also have problems that fall under a recall category. I do have repair receipts, should you need additional information.
My driver's side air bag warning light came on yesterday (Jan 5th, 2021). To be specific, it flashes on and off constantly while the engine is running. The dealer 'reset' the light and it stopped flashing. But after driving the car for about an hour, the flashing light has returned and will not stop. The dealer informs me that I will need to replace 2 parts (a cable and a control unit I believe). Total parts and labor will be $2200 dollars plus tax. Isn't an airbag something that should last for the life of the car? My car has 127,000 miles on it and I have owned it since 2018. To my knowledge, it has never been in an accident.
Hi there, question. I own a 2013 Nissan Rogue and the passenger side airbag will not work because the sensor on the passenger seat is not working. So when a person seats on the passenger seat, the airbag is not active. I have contacted Nissan and they have informed me that the part is no longer available. I am sure I am not the only person who has this issue. How can I report this so that Nissan can take action on fixing this issue? Thanking you in advance. [email protected]
The airbag light recently turned on for no apparent reason, I m concerned for my safety and I believe, due to the safety aspect alone this should be fix for the dealer, but Marlboro.MA dealer declined the repairs.
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while entering and starting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the air bag warning light was illuminated and continuously blinking. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer who inspected the vehicle and could not determine the cause of the failure. The dealer recommended that the spiral cable in the air bag be replaced. The contact was not able to do the replacement on the vehicle due to the cost. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,003.
The airbag light recently turned on and Nissan declined repairs or assistance with repairs.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER DASHBOARD. THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND FLASHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE MOMENTUM NISSAN (2545 AUTO MALL PKWY, FAIRFIELD, CA 94533) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR BURNED OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000.
THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING! THROUGH YOUR OTHER REPORTS, IT WOULD COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF WHICH SHOULD BE NISSANS RESPONSIBILTY!! AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED!! ONE LADY'S DAUGHTER GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE AIRBAG WENT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. SHE'S MAIMED FOR LIFE! !
I JUST TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR IT'S NORMAL MAINTENANCE (OIL CHANGE/FILTERS, ETC.) TODAY - 7/12/19. ALL IS IN GOOD CONDITION, EXCEPT I ASKED NISSAN TO LOOK AT THE FLASHING AIRBAG LIGHT THAT STARTED ABOUT A WEEK AGO FOR NO APPARENT REASON (O/A 7/5/19). THEY TOLD ME THAT MY FRONT AIR BAG SENSOR IS NOT WORKING, AND THAT IT IS NOT COVERED AND WOULD COST ME APX $1,020 TO FIX. THIS IS AN APPARENT SAFETY ISSUE, AND I DID NOTHING TO MY VEHICLE FOR THIS KIND OF THING TO STOP WORKING. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND AM VERY RELIANT ON MY CAR TO GET TO AND FROM WORK, ETC. I BELIEVE, DUE TO THE SAFETY ASPECT ALONE, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL NOTICE AND FIXED. IF YOU COULD PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS, IT WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.
