We have classified the 71 complaints from 2009 Nissan Altima about AIR BAGS into the following categories.
Upon starting vehicle, the red airbag indicator light never stops flashing and passenger airbag off light is illuminated, even with adults in both front seats. problem continues while driving and with subsequent use. sudden failure of airbag sensors.
Takata recall
The airbag warning light is flashing indicating there is a problem with the airbag system. a scan of the vehicle shows a problem with the occupant sensor which is the sensor in the passenger seat. this is a problem with almost every year of nissan altima and there are multiple recalls for this problem but nissan said this vehicle is not included in the recalls. this is ridiculous when they obviously have had continuing problems with this part.
2009 nissan altima passenger airbag sensor issue. the airbag light that indicates when the airbags are on/off remains lit at all times. this includes nothing in the seat, and when a person is riding in seat. after inspection dealership confirmed it was the passenger side occupancy sensor; a short occurred within the unit. (see diagnostic information pictured) the vehicle is affected by this issue at all times and under all circumstances.
I first started noticing the passenger airbag light flashing off and on when i would place a heavy item in the seat. i was in my driveway with the car running. then the same thing happened with a passenger in the seat. then it eventually was saying that the passenger airbag was turned off wither there was a passenger or not. i took to a nissan dealership and they told me it was an occupant sensor fail b1018 and i would have to get it fixed before my next state inspection or it wouldn't pass. they want $2879.49 just for the part. the trade in value is not worth that much according to kbb. my understanding is that other nissan owners are having the same problem. this is clearly a fail that nissan should take responsibility for.
Front passenger seat air bag sensors faulty, light indicates air bag off (console amber), also flashing red light in instrument cluster, it's a safety issue, no recalls yet but in the forums it's a lot of people complaining about it, also the whole seat had to be replaced, the cost it's more than $3,000.00.
Takata recall... i was hit from behind by a commercial trk doing 50 mph i was going 5 mph getting ready to make a left hand turn, when hit. no airbags deployed & the shoulder harness on the seat belt failed to lock. resulting in concussion, serious back, neck & hip injuries.. two complete safety failiers when hit at 50+ mph. this is completely unacceptable. ## vin failed ## nissan altima 2009 ##
The passenger airbag ocs has quit working causing the passenger air light to stay on saying passenger airbags are off and the red airbag light to flash. called dealer and they say sensor has went out in passenger seat but they need to look at it. my vehicle is unsafe to be on the road being the airbag system is faulty. i'm reporting because i know not only one and nissan should be responsible for fix for cars like mine. they already recalled newer models and they need go back further in the year models
Airbag warning light on dashboard. have replaced passenger seat with malfunctioning seat sensor twice within last 5 years. now getting a warning of airbag malfuntion for the entire vehicle. vehicle does this at rest and driving. my vehicle doesn't fall under takata recall, but right now car is unsafe for my entire family.
Air bag light comes on periodically 'no airbag'. problem since 2014; along with steering lock failure (fixed), along with manifold exhaust problem(fixed). windshield wipers keep wearing out, left driver side because blade is too tight; brakes vibrate when stopping,;car vibrates at 70 mph, and car sounds like wind tunnel when driving highway yet windows are up.
About 2 weeks ago i noticed that my air bag dash light was blinking. so i took my car into the shop and had it diagnosed for $125 (of course) then the service adviser states that a sensor in my passenger seat is not working and it cannot determine if an adult or a child is sitting in the passenger chair. in order for me to fix it i'd have to change out the whole chair assembly. i said why do i have to pay for this, this is a safety issue, so if the air bags don't deploy in an accident why should i be liable when it's a safety issue. this should be a safety recall and not the owners responsibility. i maintenance my vehicle every time on the money and to have a simple sensor cost almost $3,000 i don't think so.
I have a problem with the driver sit bell. and my air bag going off no accident i went to the dealer for dat the reset that for $ 125.00 the tell me next time i have to pay $ 2745.00 to fix the front passenger air bag, if the air bag going off again i wont to no why because my car never been in accident
The airbag warning light illuminated on my dashboard, and when i took it to the dealer, i was told that the ocs system for the passenger seat had failed, and i would need to pay $2500 to replace the cushion seat. this issue appears to be related to an airbag recall involving 2013-2016 altima, as well as other nissan vehicles the passenger air bag is disable due to a sensor malfuntion that is very dangwrkus if you are involved in an accident
The airbag light is blinking on and off. i need to know if there is a recall on the sensor
The passenger side airbag on/off warning light (yellow) on the center of the dash lights up intermittently. this occurs even if someone is sitting in the passenger seat at the time indicating that the airbag is turned off.
