Failure of Airbags to deploy after a rear end collision by another car. On 01.31.2025. My vehicle - a Nissan Altima 2015 was hit by an SUV while stopped at an intersection behind another vehicle. My Altima was thrust forward into the vehicle stopped ahead ome causing significant rear damage to the rear and front bumper, the trunk, and left tail lights. Despite the force of the collision and the resulting hit of the front car ahead, none of the Altima airbags deployed to protect me from serious injuries which can be potentially fatal. This indicates that the airbags may be faulty and non-operational. The car has been deemed a total loss and insurance has declined my claim and cannot compensate me because of limited collision coverage for the vehicle, and the offending driver fled the scene and cannot be identified. The offender almost ran me over as I tried to exit the vehicle to identify them. There are no warning lamps on the dashboard except - "trunk open" warning after the incident The police inspected the vehicle and details are in the police report attached

My car has been to Nissan service 3 times for a faulty airbag light - it thinks the driver seat is unoccupied when it is not - that means the air bag may not activate. The dealer has been able to turn off the light but it eventually comes back on. It meets all the criteria below for the recall but the VIN is excluded. I have paid $562.02 in service fees and now they want $2,000 to replace the seat. I would like my VIN added to the recall. 2015 Nissan Altima Air Bag Recall Nissan has announced that 919 vehicles have been affected by a Air Bag recall. Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Altima and Pathfinder vehicles, 2013-2014 Nissan Sentra vehicles, 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles, 2014-2015 Infiniti QX60 vehicles and 2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid vehicles. The affected vehicles received an incorrect occupant classification system (OCS) control unit during a repair. These OCS control units may incorrectly classify the front passenger seat as empty, when it is occupied by an adult. If the OCS does not detect an adult occupant in the passenger seat, the passenger air bag would be deactivated. Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the passenger.

Air bag light came on about 3 weeks ago. Called dealership and they say no recalls. Says to bring car in and it will take 3 to 4 days to run diagnostics. I am a single car family and would need to get a rental for those 3 days. I am on a fixed income. Why 3 days just to run diagnostics

Air bag light will not go out. Looking to see if there is any recall for airbags. No accidents or impact to vehicle. Light came on about two weeks ago

I was on the 15 freeway going home and bent down to pick up something I dropped and hit the car that was stopped in front of me. What I remember is my glasses flying off and I hit my chest and head on the steering wheel and also broke my foot. At that time I realized that the air bag did not deploy and the seat belt did not hold me and I hit the steering wheel with full force. I spent three days in the trauma center being treated for bleeding on the brain. There was 10 recalls on this vehicle, a 2015 Nissan Altima, and 2 former owners did not carry out their responsibilities to get the recalls taken care of. Now I am suffering because the owners where too lazy to be responsable.

THE VEHICLE CONSOLE INDICATES AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG. AIRBAG ERROR LIGHT IS CONTINUALLY LIT AFTER THE VEHICLE STARTS. NISSAN DEALER CONFIRMS THE LIGHTED ERROR AND REQUESTS REPLACING THE AIRBAG AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

For the past year in a half I have had my airbag light on. I took it to Nissan they told me I needed a new seat which; the seat moves fine and theres no actual known problem with it. I then took it to a different Nissan and they said it was a side airbag module coming from the left side. So from there they checked it then cleared the light and said everything should be all set. Few weeks later the light came back on so I returned it to them and they cleared the light again and said it was a petty reason that it kept coming back on. Months later it came right back on and I took it back and they still have yet to find a solution other than clearing the light. This is really frustrating and frighting because if they don't know why it keeps coming on I am left to think of the worst things that can happen especially when the airbag is suppose to save me in an accident.

On my 2015 Nissan Altima, the SRS warning light came on and my dealership advised me that there is an OBD error code of B0028-13 for the Passenger Seat OCS. Upon researching recalls for my vehicle, I discovered several NHTSA Campaign Numbers, including 15V681000 and 16V244000, which appear to cover this problem with 2013-2016 Nissan Altimas. However, when searching my VIN for recalls, I get a zero. I'm trying to learn why four model years of Altimas are covered for this problem, but mine doesn't seem to be. Thanks for any guidance.

Passenger airbag repeatedly registering a warning light despite multiple attempts by mechanics to fix the issue. The light will usually go off briefly after attempted repairs (long enough for car to pass inspection, for example) but turns back on once the car is driven only a short distance. Unclear whether the problem is a sensor issue alone or whether the airbag is actually nonfunctional. Problem has existed since July 2022; it is currently the beginning of September.

Airbag light ON permanently all of the sudden on the dashboard. If the airbag system is not working properly it puts me and my passengers at risk of serious injuries if they don't work properly. No one has checked it since it appeared Aug 1, 2022. No warnings before it showed. Just one morning the light went on.

I own a 2015 Nissan Altima, which I purchased in 2019 from the prior original owner. Recently, approximately 2 weeks ago, my airbag indicator turned on on my dashboard and has stayed lit ever since. I took it to a Nissan Dealership in Orlando, Florida and was provided with an estimated invoice for $2,500. I happened to learn online that Nissan had a recall campaign involving this same issue. I also learned that during the recall campaign, Nissan alerted its customers as follows: -This safety defect can KILL or seriously injure you or your passengers -All safety recall repairs are free at authorized Nissan dealerships -Replacement parts are available for all affected Nissan vehicles -A FREE loaner car, towing service or mobile repair in select locations may be available to assist with any inconvenience this repair may cause -Contact your local authorized dealer or call 1-888-546-1048 now to schedule your free recall repair I called the aforementioned phone # for Nissan and was told that this is a closed campaign. My concern is that despite the closure of the campaign, this serious safety issue has arisen for me. So, my call was escalated to the Nissan Consumer Affairs department at 800-647-4261. I was told that recalls are VIN specific and that according to Nissan's system, the VIN for my vehicle was not part of the recall campaign. I was told that I may contact you, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to report my safety concern. Can you help me with this? I need to have my car repaired and I would like to have Nissan pay for this serious safety issue.
