2008 NISSAN SENTRA Air Bags Problems

The car's airbag dashboard light has been on and blinking for about a month now- indicating an issue. I have not been in any recent accidents and it appeared on its own. Subsequently, the car horn does not work. Airbags and car horn are necessary to prevent accidents and serious injury, including death in the event of an accident. I advised my local Nissan dealership who stated there are no current recalls and the car would need to be inspected- which will likely be costly. No inspections have been made at this time.

The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle in front abruptly depressed its brake pedal causing the driver to crash into the rear of the vehicle. During the crash, the front end of the vehicle was severely damaged but no air bags were deployed. No injuries were reported. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 117,000.

Mileage: 117,000

Driver Air bag sensor light came on. The dealership reset it several times but it continues to come on. We paid the money to have them put the car on the diagnostic system. They are saying after review, the airbag needs to be replaced. It costs $1500 to replace the airbag. Which makes zero sense. The car has never been wrecked. Reports have shown issues with airbags in hundreds of thousands of Nissans. The 2008 Nissan Sentra needs to be reviewed for an airbag recall. This is extremely dangerous.

AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHES ON DASH WON'T GO OFF. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE... OVER 10 IN THE LAST YEAR ALONE REPORTED SAME PROBLEM

Mileage: 200,000

THE AIRBAG LIGHT BLINKS CONSTANTLY WARNING THE OWNER THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE UNIT. OTHER YEARS AND MODELS ARE AFFECT BY RECALLS AND I BELIEVE THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL SHOULD ALSO BE.

MY AIR BAG LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF IT WAS IDLE WHEN IT CAME IN BUT IT IS CONSTANTLY BLINKING , THE HORN COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING THE FIRST TIME WHEN I WAS TURNING THE CORNER, I GENERALLY REPLACED IT TWICE BUT IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AS I WAS SITTING IDLE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON EVEN AFTER I HAVE BEEN KEEPING THE MAINTENANCE UP ON IT.

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IT SOMETHING TO DO WITH A 'COIL' THAT WENT BAD

VEHICLE AIR BAG BEGAN FLASHING AND HORN STOPPED WORKING WHEN PRESSED.

Mileage: 215,000

AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINS ON AND BLINKING CONTINOUSLY. THE HORN ALSO STOPPED WORKING. FEELS VERY UNSAFE DRIVING WITHOUT A HORN. SINCE BOTH THE AIRBAG AND HORN ARE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND READING THROUGH SEVERAL OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS I WOULD ASSUME THEY ARE RELATED. SHOULD BE RECALLED AS MANY OTHER NISSANS HAVE BEEN RECALLED WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

Mileage: 95,000

AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES CONSTANTLY ON DASH PANEL. CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT GO OUT. HAS BEEN RESET BUT COMES BACK ON AFTER DRIVING WITHIN SHORT DISTANCE. CAR HAS NOT BEEN WRECKED IN FRONT AND I AM ORIGINAL OWNER. CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY AS WE ARE AFRAID AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. WE DO NOT BELIEVE SAFETY EQUIPMENT SHOULD FAIL SO QUICKLY. ALSO SEE ONLINE WHERE MANY OTHER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCEING SAME PROBLEM. WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING. MY GRANDMOTHER TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED TO BE RESET, SHE DROVE OFF AND A MILE LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER YET, BUT I SEE OTHER DRIVERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. I GOOGLED HOW TO RESET IT, DID IT MYSELF, BUT AS SOON AS YOU START DRIVING IT COMES BACK ON.

Mileage: 90,000

AIR BAG STARTED FLASHING AND HAS NOT STOPPED. I NOTICED THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE AIRBAGS IN THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND I AM WAITING TO SEE THAT THIS IS INVESTIGATED AND HELP WITH A RECALL DUE TO THE COST OF ATTEMPTING TO FIX THIS WHEN IT COULD WELL BE A FACTORY DEFECT. I ALSO HAD TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION A YEAR AND A HALF AGO WHEN WHILE ON THE FREEWAY STARTED HAVING ISSUES ENDING IN THE NISSAN DEALER IN UTAH SHORT OF $3500 LATER AFTER THEY DETERMINED IT HAS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF A MALFUNCTION DUE TO A COOLING SYSTEM PROBLEM, WHICH NEEDED A COOLING DEVICE OF SOME SORT IN ORDER TO PREVENT IT FROM OVERHEATING, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR.

AIRBAG LIGHTS FLASHING SO AIRBAG WONT WORK IF THERE IS AN ACCEDENT NEED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ANYTIME

HAVING ISSUES WITH MY PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR. THE ONLY CORRECTION THE DEALER ISSUED WAS TO REPLACE THE SEAT WITH A NEW OR USED SEAT. A NEW SEAT WOULD BE OVER $3,000 AND A USED ONE WELL OVER $700 PLUS LABOR TO CHANGE SEAT COVERS. ERROR CODE B1018. THE VEHICLE IS BEYOND WARRANTY HOWEVER, BECAUSE THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING FAULTY HARDWARE, I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD GRACIOUSLY ADDRESS THIS WITHOUT CHARGE. THERE ARE AIRBAG RECALL CAMPAIGNS OPEN FOR OTHER NISSAN MODELS REGARDING THIS VERY ISSUE BUT IT UNFORTUNATELY DOES NOT INCLUDE MY 2008 NISSAN SENTRA. THE RECALL OBVIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED! AT THIS POINT I MAY BE FORCED TO ACQUIRE A USED SEAT AT A LOCAL JUNK YARD, BUT IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO VERIFY THE SENSOR IS WORKING IN THE USED SEAT PRIOR TO INSTALLATION. AGAIN, THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED PROMPTLY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!

AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS, INCLUDING RADIO AND CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORK AND HAVEN'T FOR SOME TIME NOW. THE "WHEELS" OR "HUBCAPS" PEELED OFF AND LOOK TERRIBLE. WHEN DRIVING OVER 60 MPH THE CAR SHAKES. ONE OWNER - 142,000 MILES

TRANSMITION IS NOT RESPONDING. WHEN IS HOT LOSES ALL THE POWER TO 30MPH. A WHYING NOISE

AIRBAG BLINKING ON DASHBOARD DUE TO PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR MALFUNCTION AND/OR FAILURE. MY WIFE HAS PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED, AND WE HAPPENED TO HAVE ACCIDENT HIT BY OTHER CAR ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WHILE I HAD BEEN TRYING TO GET BACK HOME ON THE WEEKEND AFTER GROCERY SHOPPING TRIP WITH MY WHOLE FAMILY AT 02/05/2017. IT HAPPENED AT THE SERVICE ROAD OF SH 121 TX. WHILE I WAS TURNING LEFT ON THE STRAIGHT/LEFT LANE ON GREEN LIGHT. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED BUT SOMEHOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED BLINKING ON THE DASH BOARD, OF COURSE WE TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THE SERVICE ADVISER HAS EXPLAINED THAT AIRBAG SENSOR ON PASSENGER SEAT WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND THEY WOULD HAVE IT FIXED. SO WE THOUGHT WE GOT IT FIXED, AND DROVE IT AROUND FOR A FEW MONTHS. AND SOMEWHERE AROUND JUNE, THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH BOARD CAME AGAIN AND WE'VE TRIED TO SUMMIT THE SUPPLEMENT FOR THE AIRBAG ISSUE, AND HAD IT DIAGNOSED BY AUTONATION NISSAN AT LEWISVILLE TX AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY DENIED THE SUPPLEMENT REQUEST BECAUSE THE AUTONATION NISSAN HAS STATED THAT "AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONING ON NISSAN SENTRA IS A COMMON PROBLEM" AND FOR THAT REASON THE SUPPLEMENT WAS DENIED, AND IT GOT ME THINKING THAT IF IT'S THE COMMON PROBLEM AS THE SERVICE ADVISER OF THE NISSAN STATED, THEN WHY WON'T NISSAN ISSUE RECALL ORDER FOR SUCH AN CRITICAL ISSUE THAT MAY CAUSE CATASTROPHIC EVENT IF IT KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING? I WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO HAVE PROPER INVESTIGATION ON THIS MATTER... BECAUSE IF THE AIRBAG SENSOR MALFUNCTION IS NOT RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT I HAD, THEN NISSAN IS NOT CARING ABOUT THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WHO DRIVES THE SAME MODEL VEHICLE AS MY SENTRA...

Mileage: 115,000

TAKATA RECALL MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING AND WHEN IT WAS DIAGNOSED AT PATPECK NISSAN OF MOBILE THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WASNT PART OF THE RECALL BUT IT IS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT AND WAS TOLD IT WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH.

I WAS COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THE BREAKS DID NOT STOP THE CAR FORCING ME TO HIT SOMEONE. I ALWAYS HAD TROUBLE WITH THE BREAKS WITH FORCED ME TO CHANGE THEM EVERY SO OFTEN. THIS TIME WAS TOUGH.

Mileage: 155,000

AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED RANDOMLY BLINKING WHEN I STARTED THE CAR. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID "FAULTY CLOCK SPRING AND DRIVERS AIRBAG ASSY - REPLACE (B1049 DRIVERS AIRBAG OPEN)". THE COST WAS $1,468.32 NO INCLUDING TAX, ETC AND SAID IT WAS UNUSUAL FOR BOTH PIECES TO BE FAULTY.

Mileage: 50,400

MY 2008 NISSAN SENTRA AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON IN THE PAST AND I HAD IT RESET BY THE DEALER. IT STAYED OUT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. LATER WHEN IT CAME ON AGAIN, I LEARNED HOW TO RESET IT MYSELF USING THE IGNITION KEY AND I DID SO WITH SUCCESS. THE LIGHT WOULD STAY OUT FOR AT FIRST A MONTH OR TWO, THEN IT BECAME A WEEK OR TWO, BUT NOW THE LIGHT COMES ON AND MY RESETTING IT WILL ONLY LAST FOR LESS THAN A DAY. SO I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THIS WEEK. THE DEALER ADVISED ME THAT IT IS A FAULTY AIR BAG. THE DEALER DID A DIAGNOSIS/INSPECTION AND FOUND CODE 81134. THE DEALER ADVISED ME TO REPLACE THE LEFT SIDE SEAT ASSEMBLY AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME APPROXIMATELY $3,400 TO DO SO. IS THIS POSSIBLE FOR A 2008 NISSAN WITH ONLY 56,000 MILES ON IT? THE AIR BAGS FOR THIS MODEL ARE NOT ON THE RECALL LIST, BUT I'M QUESTIONING IF THEY SHOULD BE.

Mileage: 56,886

TAKATA RECALL. MY WARNING LIGHT FOR THE AIRBAG WAS ON SO I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THE RESET THE CODE BUT AFTER A FEW DAYS THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. NOW IT IS ON ALL THE TIME WHEN I AM DRIVING IT. I AM WONDERING IF IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2007 AND COULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST.

AIR BAG SAFETY ISSUE. ON OCTOBER 14, 2015 I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE AT MCGRATH NISSAN BECAUSE THE "CS AIR BAG LIGHT IS FLASHING" MORE SPICIFLY THE CODE READOUT WAS B1134 FOR SENSOR FOR AIR BAG FRONT LEFT SIDE. THEIR DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE ENTIRE [AND VERY EXPENSIVE AT $3000] AIR BAG MODULE MUST BE REPLACED. NISSAN IS UNCERTAIN WHETHER THE AIR BAGS WILL WORK OR NOT IN A FRONT LEFT SIDE CRASH. THE PART WAS ORDERED AND WAS EXPECTED TO BECOME AVAILABLE BEFORE END OF 2015. THE PART WAS 87651ZE90B FRAME ASSY-FRONT SEA AND I PUT DOWN A 50% DEPOSIT ON THE PART. IT IS NOW MAY 30, 2016. NUMEROUS CALLS TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHO FOLLOWED UP WITH NISSAN, OCCURRED. THE ANSWERS VARRIED. IN SOME OF THE CALLS STATEMENTS WHERE MADE THAT NISSAN WAS HAVING SUPPLIER ISSUES. IN OTHER CALLS I WAS GIVEN A NEW DATE FOR ARRIVAL OF THE PART, AND PART HAS NOT YET ARRIVED. IN MY LAST CALL MCGRATH NISSAN WAS TOLD BY NISSAN THAT THE PART SHOULD ARRIVE IN APRIL. IT IS NOW LATE MAY AND STILL NO PART. IN JUNE 2016 I AM REQUIRED TO TAKE MY CAR TO EMISSIONS TESTING (SUBURB OF CHICAGO, IL) AND I AM ANTICIPATING FAILING BECAUSE OF THIS PART.

Mileage: 103,971

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, AND AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. BRAKES MAY HAVE NOT BEEN REPAIRED TO FULL FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHEN SERVICED WHICH RESULTED IN NOT BRAKING IN TIME AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE. I LOOKED UP THE VEHICLE ON A NISSAN RECALL WEBSITE AND FOUND OUT THAT IT'S ONE OF THE ONES ON THE RECALL LIST.

AUGUST 13, 2014 I TOOK MY NISSAN TO DEALER BECAUSE OF AIR BAG LIGHT ON PASSENGER SIDE FLASHING. IT STARTED WHILE DRIVING. I WAS INFORMED IT WAS CAUSED BY RIGHT FRONT SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER FAILURE, THEY REPLACED THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT BELT ASSY. UNDER A WARRANTY. OCTOBER 20, 2014 TOOK BACK TO DEALER DUE TO AIR BAG LIGHT AGAIN FLASHING. INFORMED IT WAS COST $975 TO INSTALL A NEW CENSOR. I DECLINED WORK BECAUSE OF PRICE. TO DATE, 5/2/16, THE LIGHT CONTINUES TO FLASH. I ALSO HAVE A FLASHING LIGHT ON MY DASH FOR A TIRE CENSOR. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $135 TO FIND WHICH TIRE OR IF IT WAS A MAIN CENSOR THAT WAS CAUSING THIS. I DECLINED TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED DUE TO THE COST -$135 TO FIND IT THEN ANOTHER COST TO FIX IT. THIS HAS BEEN FLASHING FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS. CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE FLASHING STARTED.
