Passenger side airbag light is on and blinking on dashboard. nissan states that entire passenger seat needs to be replaced. computer was reset twice and light is still blinking. the vehicle was purchased new and has never been in an accident. i am afraid this might be part of a earlier recall since i can not determine if my passenger side airbag is a 2009 model. *tr

My light came on blinking regarding my air bags. i took the vehicle to the nissan dealership. they advised me that the air bags will not deploy due to a sensor that has failed in the front passenger side seat bottom. i was further advised that they cannot replace just the sensor, it will be $660 to replace the whole seat bottom.i contacted nissan consumer affairs as i believe this is a basic safety issue and that they should assist with the fix. i have not abused the seat, it is not damaged or torn, it has not been in an accident. the only reason i have no working airbags is because the part nissan put in the vehicle has failed. nissan has failed to assist me and i still do not have working air bags. *tr
