TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH OVER A DIP IN THE ROAD, THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT.

OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) "FROM OWNERS MANUAL" AFTER IGNITION SWITCH IS PLACED IN THE "ON" POSITION, THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG STATUS LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATES FOR ABOUT 7 SECONDS AND TURNS OFF OR REMAINS ILLUMINATED DEPENDING ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPIED STATUS. *UNOCCUPIED FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT: THE LIGHT IS OFF AND THE FRONT AIR BAG IS OFF. AND WILL NOT INFLATE IN A CRASH. ON MY VEHICLE THE LIGHT REMAINS ON CONSTANTLY EVEN WHEN UNOCCUPIED, IT DOES NOT TURN OFF AS STATED. AFTER READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER NISSAN OWNERS, IT IS APPARENT THE DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO "FIX" THE PROBLEM AND JUST CREATES ARGUMENT OVER THE STATUS OF THE LIGHT EVEN WHEN SHOWN THE OWNERS MANUAL ON THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG STATUS LIGHT. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING AND ANNOYING WITH THIS BRIGHT YELLOW LIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH, CONSTANTLY ON, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE. THE LIGHT COMES ON FROM THE TIME YOU START THE CAR UNTIL YOU TURN THE CAR OFF, EVEN WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THEY SAY IT IS WORKING IF THE LIGHT REMAINS ON EVEN WHEN THE FRONT SEAT IS UNOCCUPIED. THAT IS NOT WHAT THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES, NOR IS IT WHAT OTHER NISSAN OWNERS HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT. THE LIGHT SHOULD NOT STAY ON WHEN THE SEAT IS UNOCCUPIED.

WHEN PASSENGERS SIT IN FRONT SEAT, INTERMITTENTLY THE AIRBAG LIGHTS GOES ON AND OFF. DON'T KNOW IF THE AIRBAG IS REALLY GOING TO WORK WHEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO. TAKEN TO DEALER AND THEY SAY NOTHING WRONG, BUT OBVIOUSLY THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WHEN 200 POUND PERSON SITTING THERE AND THE AIRBAG SAYS IT IS TURNED OFF. DEALER WON'T DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. TELLS ME THE CAR IS SAFE. I DON'T FEEL IT IS SAFE AND NOW FEEL I HAVE TO TAKE PICTURE OF AIRBAG NOTIFICATION WHEN DRIVING JUST IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT TO PROTECT MYSELF. SHOULDN'T HAVE TO HAVE A VEHICLE THAT HAS SAFETY FEATURES THAT DON'T WORK PROPERLY. THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM OCCURS WHETHER THE CAR IS RUNNING OR NOT RUNNING WHEN THE PASSENGER GETS IN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STRUCK HEAD ON BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE RIBS AND BACK, AND SUFFERED A WHIPLASH. THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HEAD, BACK, AND NECK. THE REAR PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE LIP, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,475. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 04/19/17 *LJ *CN

TAKATA RECALL. I BOUGHT A 2015 NISSAN SENTRA SL. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE. STILL NOT FIXED. TALKED TO NISSAN CORPORATE TO FILE THE LEMON LAW. THEY DENIED ME. THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY ARE GOING TO FLY OUT A SPECIAL TECHNICIAN TO CHECK IT OUT. THEY SAID THAT I NEED TO DRIVE MY CAR THAT DOES NOT HAVE WORKING AIR BAGS UNTIL THE TECH COMES OUT, WHICH MAY TAKE UP TO A MONTH. THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER A RENTAL CAR. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY WIFE CAN RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT UNTIL IT GETS FIXED.

PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG LIGHT DOES NOT GO OFF (INDICATING AIRBAG IS ON) WHEN PASSENGER SITS IN SEAT. THIS IS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AS IT WILL SOMETIMES GO OFF AND SOMETIMES NOT. MULTIPLE TRIPS TO DEALER AND CALLS TO NISSAN CUSTOMER RELATIONS HAVE NOT RESOLVED ISSUE. WERE TOLD ON LAST CONTACT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. PASSENGER WEIGHS 118 LBS. AND THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM WHEN SHE RIDES IN OTHER VEHICLES, I.E. HYUNDAI SANTA FE AND SUBARU OUTBACK. CASE #24255363 WITH CUSTOMER RELATIONS. BYERELY FORD-NISSAN, LOUISVILLE, KY IS DEALER. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD THE AIRBAG FAIL TO OPERATE.

MY CAR HAD A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO BE FIXED AND AFTER THEY DID, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL STAY ON UNTIL SOMEONE OVER 100 POUNDS SETS THERE THEN IT WILL TURN OFF, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RED SEAT BELT LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD WILL STAY ON ALL THE TIME, AND YES I STILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH MY CAR, BOTH LIGHTS ARE ON ALL THE TIME AND THE DEALER IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IF MY CAR DOSE NOT DETECT ANY ONE HOWS LESS THAN 100 POUNDS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT MEANS MY CAR IS NOT SAFE AT ALL.

THEY HAD A RECALL ABOUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATION THAT IT MIGHT NOT DEPLOY IN A ACCIDENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I VERY CONCERN ABOUT THIS I HAD IT CHECK WHEN THEY FIRST HAD THE RECALL BUT THE LIGHT IS BACK ON. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY CAN CHECK IT TODAY BUT THE TIME OF THE APPOINTMENT I HAVE TO BE SOMEWHERE, SO I HAVE TO WAIT AND MAKE A APPOINTMENT. SO I CALLED THE RECALL NUMBER FOR NISSAN AND FILED A COMPLAIN AND WAS GIVEN A CLAIMS NUMBER [XXX] AND SHE SAID THEY ONLY DO THE ONE RECALL I VERY CONCERN ABOUT MY FAMILY SAFETY CAN YOU INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM PLEASE [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AIRBAG RECALL ON NISSAN SENTRA. WENT TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL. AFTER RECALL THE AIRBG LIGHT REMAINS ON WHILE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED. BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY DID ANOTHER SOFTWARE UPLOAD. LIGHT REMAINS ON WHILE SEAT IS OCCUPIED. BACK TO DEALER, THEY REPLACED "SCALES." LIGHT REMAINS ON WHILE PASS SEAT IS OCCUPIED. BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE SENDING UNIT. LIGHT REMAINS ON WHILE SEAT IS OCCUPIED. CALLED THE DEALER, WAITING FOR REPLY. THE LIGHT COMES ON ONLY INTERMITTANTLY WHILE THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED, OR RATHER FAILS TO GO OUT INDICATING THE AIRBAG IS ARMED. THIS OCCURS WHILE THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED BY 120 LB WOMAN, AND 200 LB MAN. APPARENTLY THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, SO FAR.
