Vehicle air bag began flashing and horn stopped working when pressed.

Air Bags · Unknown Or Other
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.

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…

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…

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.

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

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…

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…

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.

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.

Driver airbag has come on and will not turn off. Bag has never deployed but i'm afraid it won't if i get into an accident. Dealership wants to charge me about $800 to diagnose and repair if i agree.
