Complaint Timeline
Chronological view of owner reports
My husband and I were in a head on and sustained injuries to my neck, chest abdomen, and knees. Neither the driver nor the passenger airbags went off during the accident. No lights were present no warning, lights or messages prior to the accident and we were both wearing our seatbelts. I received significant whiplash, bruising, and injuries confirmed by x-rays and feel that the airbags not going off in this collision only made it worse.

The airbag light has been illuminated. Checked the wiring under the seats & is not loose. This issue has been recalled for other VINs but Nissan is neglecting to expand to all cars with the problem! This is a huge safety risk & needs to be recalled!

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the front passenger’s side air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) needed to be replaced. The contact became aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V244000 (Air Bags); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
Passenger Occupant Sensor is Malfunctioning. Very similar condition to Recall 16V244000. Nissan is stating that the VIN number is not impacted by the recall but I believe it is the same issue and that they did not expand the recall to cover all the affected vehicles. Dealer reports that to fix the issue, the lower seat cushion must be replaced as the occupant sensor is located in the seat cushion. Nissan nor the dealer have been helpful in trying to resolve this serious safety issue. Cost to replace seat cushion is over $2,000. Failure codes on diagnostic scan are B1020, B1021, and B1022. My request to NHTSA is to expand the recall campaign to wider VIN number range to encompass cars that may be affected.
- Passenger occupancy sensor needs replacement. - The whole airbag system is deactivated, putting my children at risk. - An independent service center diagnossed the problem. - The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, requested an inspection, but they will not do a complimentary one, they are charging $250 to diagnose the vehicle. - The passenger airbag signal has been blinking red for the last 3 weeks. My wife and I, bought this vehicle new from a nissan dealership, we have been driving it for almost 8 years, the vehicle has never been involved in any accident. The issue is: Passenger airbag sign blinking red (for 3 weeks now), I called the 2 dealerships, and Nissan consumer affairs line, since our vehicle vin number, doesn’t have any recalls pending, I was informed that, the inspection and repairs, will come out of my pocket, because of the high nissan dealership fees, I took the vehicle to an independent service center and they diagnossed “Passenger occupancy sensor, needs replacement, and it is sold as the entire seat cushion” I looked online and saw that more than 187 people have had the same problem, and have had no help from Nissan. I am extremely concerned about my family safety, this is the vehicle I transport my children in, Nissan said “Once an airbag light is blinking, the whole system is disconnected, to prevent accidental deployment”. In other words… I have been driving my kids for the last 3 weeks, in a tin can with no airbags, and Nissan doesn’t seem to care enough, to schedule a complimentary inspection for my vehicle, or to add this issue to their recalls. I am repairing the airbag because it is a safety issue, but Nissan needs to care enough about their customers to make this right.
Airbag, B1018 Passenger Occupant Sensor (Unit Fail)
Airbag light keeps on turning on and saying it doesn't work
The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer and repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V244000 (Air Bags). The vehicle was diagnosed and the dealer stated that the air bags were not replaced but that the software was reprogrammed. The contact was also informed that the passenger’s side air bags sensor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted but offered no assistance. The manufacturer stated that he needed to pay out-of-pocket for the repair. The failure mileage was 38,000.
The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light inadvertently illuminated. The contact then received notification of an unknown air bag recall. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the wire connector was loose and needed to be reconnected and a possible key cycle while connection was open and if codes return, parts might need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.
After the Air bag sensor recall software update, the occupancy sensor worked fine for a couple of years and now is again not working. When a passenger sits on the front passenger seat, the sensor doesn't detect a person and the occupancy sensor light never goes off. Several times I had to stop and put the car on park and then put more pressure on the seat to get the sensor to detect there is a person. Now the manufacturer dealer wants to charge me to diagnose the problem and states there could be more expenses involved with replacing the parts. As a customer I feel this is a persistent problem since the car was purchased and has never been fixed.
THE AIRBAG WAS BEING RECALLED AND BROUGHT TO REPAIR SHOP TO FIX. NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AGAIN AFTER IT WAS FIXED.
YES GOT INTO A REALLY BAD CAR ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ONLY ONES THAT DEPLOYED WERE THE SIDE ONES ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS
