The passenger air bag warning light is flashing and the passenger air bag button that tells you that it is on and working when somebody gets in the car is off. Therefore the air bag will not deploy in a crash. The light just started flashing about 2 weeks ago approximately. There is also a recall on my vehicle for a component that could become a projectile in a crash if the air bag is deployed. This recall was made 02/09/23 and Nissan has no remedy for it. Therefore this problem is not repairable for almost 9 months. Then I have this new safety problem as well and I don't know why and I don't have the kind of money that would be charged to take it to the Nissan Dealership. I feel that this is one too many recalls on this vehicle there are 5 to be exact at this time. I want Nissan to replace my vehicle with something comparable and don't think that if the airbag is inoperable or that a component could kill somebody that this car should be driven on the roads. What are they going to do about this this is not a safety issue that should just be ignored. The car is paid for its still in very good condition but for me it is now unsafe to drive or to have a passenger in my vehicle. I want some remedy for this asap.

Front airbag sensor is bad. I checked it to see if this vehicle had its recall done for this known problem looks like it did because it don’t have a open recall for it.

On this day, 1 November 2021, the SRS warning lamp began flashing on my 2008 Nissan Pathfinder. Is there a recall notification from the manufacturer that covers this as a manufacturers' repair?

AIRBAG LIGHT HAD COME ON INDICATING AN ISSUE, BUT ALSO LIGHT AND CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL ARE FAILING. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS FAILURE. ABS BRAKES ACTIVATE RANDOMLY WITHOUT WARNING PREVENTING AND CAUSING THE INABILITY TO STOP. ABS CAN NOT BE STOPPED UNLESS I STOP AND TURN OFF MY VEHICLE AND START AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS. CANT STOP WHEN I NEED TO. DURING CITY DRIVING ON A DRY SURFACE AND APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT MY BRAKES FAILED SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE ABS ACTIVATING AND MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. RANDOM AND WITHOUT WARNING. FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CRACKED FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND DIDN'T PROVIDE ANY WARNINGS, PINION SEAL LEAK APPEARED LESS THAN TWO YEARS. IN ADDITION VEHICLE WAS IN SERVICE FOR EVAP SYSTEM 11 TIMES IN THE FIRST YEAR WITHOUT RESOLVE. GAD CONSUMPTIONS WAS HORRIBLE AND BELOW ANY SUGGESTED MPG. TIRE SENSORS HAVE NEVER WORKED AND FAILED TO ALERT LOW PRESSURE IN TIRES. TIRE PRESSURE HAS BEEN UNSTABLE NO MATER WHAT TIRES ARE INSTALLED OR HOW MANY SENSORS ARE PUT ON. STABILITY IN STEERING IS SLOPPY WHEN GOING OVER ANY KIND OF BUMP IN THE ROAD. UNSTABLE WHEN DRIVING. SPEED CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS WHEN DRIVING CURVES. ROLLOVERS ARE DEFINITELY POSSIBLE WITHOUT MUCH SPEED WHEN ON RAMPS AND CURVES. USE EXTREME CAUTION.

ALL STEERING WHEEL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. HORN DOES NOT WORK AND AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING. I REPLACED BUSTED RADIATOR AT 115,000 MILES. VEHICLE WOULD TURN OFF AT ANY SPEED.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY MODEL OF PATHFINDER FOR AIR BAG ISSUES. IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER THAT RECALL. AT 94000 MILES THE ISSUE MANIFESTED ITSELF EVEN AFTER THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE ISSUE. WHEN THERE IS NOBODY IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT THE LIGHT ON THE DASH WILL SHUTOFF INDICATING THERE IS SOMEBODY IN THE SEAT EVEN WHEN THERE IS NO PASSENGER. THE AIR BAG SENSOR ON THE STEERING COUNSEL WILL THEN START FLASHING THAT AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED. I CONTACTED NISSAN CORPORATE TO ADVISE THEM THAT THE ISSUE IS STILL OCCURRING FOR WHAT MY RECALL COVERED. THEY DID NOT CARE THEY ONLY ADVISED ME THAT THE VEHICLE HAS ALREADY RECEIVED THE RECALL FOR THAT ISSUE.. THEY THEN ADVISED ME THAT IF 'D LIKE IT REPAIRED I HAVE TO TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIR OUT OF POCKET AT A NISSAN DEALER. THEY DID NOT ASK FOR ANY INFO AT ALL JUST BLEW ME OFF. I AM WRITING TODAY AS I READ IN TIME MAGAZINE THAT NHTSA IS OPENING AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE AIRBAG RECALLS ON THE NEWER MODELS AND NISSAN FAILED TO REPAIR THEM PROPERLY. I AM ADVISING YOU THAT NISSAN'S RECALLS ON THE 2008+ ALSO DID NOT WORK, AND NISSAN REFUSED TO EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED IT WHEN I CALLED THEM AND EMAILED THEM. *TR

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY AIRBAG LIGHT. A DIAGNOSTIC AT THE DEALER SHOWED THE "SENDING UNIT" ON THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT FUNCTIONING AND THE AIRBAG SENSOR WAS ALSO NOT FUNCTIONING. WHEN I GOOGLED IT, I FOUND SEVERAL RECALLS ON THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL (ON YOUR WEBSITE). THE FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM WILL SAY THERE IS 1/4 GAS WHEN IT'S EMPTY OR WILL DROP TO "E" FOR EMPTY WHEN THERE IS STILL GAS IN THE TANK. I NOW HAVE TO USE MY ODOMETER TO GAUGE MY GAS USAGE SINCE I RAN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AT RUSH HOUR A FEW WEEKS AGO. AT THE SAME TIME THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE SENDING UNIT ISSUE, THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. SO I'M DRIVING AROUND IN A CAR THAT HAS FAULTY AIRBAG SENSORS AND FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT. THE TWO ISSUES ARE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING THE RECALL NOTICES DESCRIBE, YET IT'S NOT PART OF THE RECALLS? I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CORPORATE NISSAN VIA EMAIL TWICE NOW AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THESE RECALLS APPLY TO MY VEHICLE/VIN #. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE (IT WAS PURCHASED VIA AUCTION IN NEW YORK) AND THOUGHT THAT WAS WHY I HAD NOT RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICES. HOWEVER, IT TURNS OUT NISSAN WILL NOT DISCLOSE WHICH VIN NUMBERS WERE PART OF THOSE RECALLS AND REFUSE TO PAY THE REPAIR SERVICES FOR EITHER ISSUE CITING MY VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL NOTICES. THEN WHY IS MY CAR DOING EXACTLY WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL NOTICES? *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER IN EARLY JANUARY 2009. EARLY FEBRUARY 2009 MY FRIEND SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING THAT IT WAS NOT ON. SHE IS AT LEAST 5 FEET 8 INCHES AND 135 POUNDS. I AM ALSO THE SAME HEIGHT AND WEIGHT AND IT DIDN'T WORK FOR ME WHEN I SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AS WELL. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME SOMEONE LIGHTER THAN 160LBS SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND IF THE PERSON IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WASN'T SITTING IN SUCH A WAY TO TOUCH THE SENSOR, THEN IT WOULD NOT WORK. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT IT IS OPERATING PROPERLY ACCORDING TO NISSAN STANDARDS. SO IF I OR MY PASSENGER ARE NOT SITTING IN THE SEAT IN SUCH A WAY TO SET OFF THE SENSOR, THEN WE AREN'T PROTECTED. IT WASN'T AS IF WE WERE SITTING ON OUR KNEES OR IN SOME WEIRD POSITION. WE WERE SITTING AS WE WOULD IN ANY VEHICLE. I ALSO BROUGHT UP THAT IN AN ACCIDENT, WHEN THE CAR IS BEING JOSTLED AROUND, THAT CONTROLLING HOW WE SIT IN THE SEAT IS THE LAST THING ON OUR MIND AND WE WOULDN'T GET THE BENEFIT OF AN AIRBAG? I ALSO BROUGHT UP THAT THE DRIVER AIRBAG LIGHT DOES NOT GO ON AND I AM THE ONE WHO USUALLY DRIVES IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE DRIVER AIRBAG ALWAYS STAYS ON BECAUSE IT IS THE DRIVER. NISSAN HAS NOT GIVEN ME ANY RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
