2016 Nissan Rogue Air Bags

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the passenger’s side air bag warning illuminated even though the passenger’s side seat was not occupied and remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to two dealers, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the passenger’s side seat module and two sensors had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.

The contact's daughter owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the front passenger's side air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the front passenger's seat Occupant Classification System (OCS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and the seat sensors needed to be replaced. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V911000 (Air Bags); however, the dealer informed the contact that the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic, where the same assessment was made, and the mechanic determined that the front passenger's seat assembly and seat belt assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

The contact owned a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH with the cruise control activated, the vehicle crashed into a deer that jumped into the middle of the roadway. During the crash, the vehicle was destroyed, but no air bags were deployed. The driver sustained a concussion, neck and back injury, which later required medical attention. The front passenger sustained a left knee injury, which did not require medical treatment. The daughter, seated in the rear passenger side seat, sustained a concussion, neck and back injury, and was transported from the crash site to the hospital. A police report was filed, and the vehicle was towed to the nearby salvage lot. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 112,000.

The airbag passenger light has been showing off for about 2 years and on 4/30/25 showed the passenger air bag on the main panel in red color. I bring it today 5/2/25 to the Nissan dealer and they said is not a recall and they didn’t fix it. I been reading that actually is a recall and something can explode and is not recommended to drive the car under this sing.

The passenger airbag light always reads OFF even when someone is sitting in the passenger seat.

Air bag light is on telling that is mulfunctioning

Airbag indicator, driver side warning lamps have been consistently on for the past 2 weeks now. Bought it used, but owned the vehicle for 2 years now. Called the Nissan Authorized Dealership, will charge me for diagnostic service.

My front airbag light was illuminated during normal every day usage of the vehicle. The vehicle was not involved in an incident, fire, or crash. The vehicle was inspected by the dealership and I was advised that one of the air bags is not operational anymore which in turn would affect the rest of the airbags. The vehicle is only 7 years old. My safety and the safety of my family and passengers is at great risk while operating the vehicle. The cost for this repair is 4K+. I could understand being responsible for this repair if something happened to the vehicle but nothing did. I feel this should be the responsibility of the manufacturer or dealership to repair.

AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN A VIOLENT CAR ACCIDENT. OTHER VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY. I HIT MY HEAD ON THE SIDE WINDOW OR DOOR VERY HARD, AND THE HEAD INJURY WAS FELT INSTANTLY AND ONSITE, I HAD TO GO TO THE ER AND GET A CT SCAN AND HAD A CONCUSSION. A COLLISION COMPANY IS INVESTIGATING THE DAMAGE AND AIRBAGS. AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST IF YOU WANT TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE AIRBAG LIGHTS THAT CAME ON FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT FROM TIME TO TIME.

On September 22, 2022, my car was hit from the rear. The car hit me so hard that their front end was totalled. On Nov. 28, 2022, the car dealership ( Nash Chevrolet) was able to fix my car from the accident and after fixing my car, they called to tell me my air bag light had came on. They couldn't find the issue, didn't think it was from the accident and stated that Nissan would need to fix it. Nissan is refusing to fix the air bag unless I pay for it out of pocket.

When I got into a car crash and I hit the deer really hard the airbags on the car did not deploy which where the deer almost smacked right into my window and went inside the car but damage and vehicle was not drivable at all need to tow it shop front car damaged to wheel at

Passenger air bag light goes on and off whether there is an adult in the seat or not. There are a few recalls for this issue but my VIN does not come up as an affected vehicle. There are several complaints of the same nature on the nhtsa website and I feel Nissan needs to look into this issue.

The passenger airbag sensor is faulty, it randomly turns on and off indiscriminately when an adult is in the seat. I have already reached out to Nissan because there is a similar recall but my VIN isn’t covered in it. Nissan was unwilling to help and even when I took it to the Nissan dealer they refused to change out the sensor. This is life threatening if the car gets in an accident and an adult is in the passenger seat, but the airbag does not deploy.

EVERY OTHER TIME WHEN I START MY NISSAN IN THE MORNING, THE RED LIGHT FOR THE AIRBAG ON THE DASHBOARD COMES ON. IF I SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN AND RE-START IT AGAIN AND THE LIGHT GOES AWAY. IF I LET THE LIGHT STAY ON WITHOUT RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE IT, THE LIGHT NEVER GOES AWAY TILL I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE.

ANOTHER VEHICLE IMPROPERLY TURNED LEFT IN FRONT OF ME AS I WAS TRAVELING THROUGH A CITY INTERSECTION CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. NOT A SINGLE AIRBAG DEPLOYED IN MY VEHICLES. IT APPEARS TWO SENSORS WERE HIT BY THE IMPACT.*DT*JB

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE MY AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON. THE ACTIVE CODE FROM THE DEALERSHIP IS B0020 AND MY PERSONAL SCAN TOOL CODE IS B0020-13. THE DEALERSHIP SAID I WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC UNIT FOR $1,100 AND IF THAT DOES NOT WORK MY DRIVER SIDE AIR MODULE FOR $3,000. MY WARRANTY DOES NOT OVER ANY OF THE REPAIRS. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR NEEDED ANY BODY WORK.*DT

WHEN AN ADULT PASSENGER SITS IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF" LIGHT ON THE DASH REMAINS ON!!! INDICATING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS TURNED OFF EVEN THOUGH AN ADULT PASSENGER IS SITTING ON THE SEAT. AT REST AND IN MOTION.

I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN ANOTHER DRIVER HIT ME. MY ENTIRE FRONT END IS DESTROYED AND THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. MY HUSBAND AND I BOTH SUFFERED HEAD INJURIES DUE TO THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING.

ABOUT AT LEAST HALF OF THE TIME THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT, THE INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON SAYING THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS TURNED OFF. THE VIN HAS NO CURRENT RECALLS SO IT APPEARS THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER MUST HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THE PREVIOUSLY ISSUED RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, YET IT IS STILL CONTINUING. IT HAS HAPPENED AT ALL SPEEDS.

THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE CAR WAS HIT IN THE FRONT LEFT DRIVRS SIDE, DAMAGE FROM THE DOOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FRONT. CAR WAS PUSHED QUITE A FEW FEET INTO ANOTHER CAR. THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T GO OFF. HEAD AND FACE MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW. THE OTHER CAR INVOLVED DEPLOYED THE AIRBAGS. OUR VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET GOING STRAIGHT. *DT CONSUMER STATED WE RECEIVED WORD ON FRIDAY OCTOBER 11TH THAT THE CAR CANNOT BE FIXED AND IS A TOTAL LOSS. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE WALSER GLASS AND COLLISION IN BLOOMINGTON MINNESOTA. OUR INSURANCE COMPANY, ESURANCE, IS GOING TO SEND THE CAR TO BE HELD AT A SCRAP YARD WHILE THE FINALIZE THE TOTAL LOSS. I AM ATTACHING PHOTOS OF THE ACCIDENT AND THE CAR.*JB

THE SRS LIGHT ON MY 2016 NISSAN ROGUE WENT ON. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG TO TRY AND SOLVE THE ISSUE WHICH IS VERY COSTLY. THEY TOLD ME THERE IS A 50/50 CHANCE THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH EXCLUDES ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. THE AIRBAG SYSTEM SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ISSUES THIS EARLY ON IN THE CAR'S LIFE. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT/COLLISION. I DEFINITELY THINK THIS HAS TO BE A DEFECT WITH THE CAR ITSELF. AND I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS OUT OF POCKET. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE.
