Vehicle was purchased and air bag light was on. Dealership did not disclose any safety issues. When brought to my mechanic found broken wiring in airbag harness and driver's side airbag was not functioning and risk of deployment at any time. Also open recall on driver's side airbag

The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that after receiving the vehicle from the dealer following a recall repair, the air bag warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23E012000 (Air Bags) and the VIN was included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 21,000.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY AIRBAG/SEATBELT AND IT SINCE HAS GONE OUT AFTER BEING FIXED, BUT THEY SAID THAT IT WAS PAST THE WARRANTY. I HAD THOUGHT THAT AIRBAGS ARE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE PARTS.

I HAD AN ACCIDENT BUT AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY . OTHER CAR INVOLVE IN ACCIDENT AIRBAG DELPLOYED . HEAD ON COLLISION .

THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHTS SHOWS THE AIRBAG IS CONSISTENTLY OFF, WHICH WOULD INDICATE TO ME THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG IS NOT ACTIVATED OR THE SENSOR IN THE SEAT IS DEFECTIVE. THIS OCCURS WITH EVERY PASSENGER, INCLUDING A MALE WEIGHING 250 LBS. *TR

I OWN AN '04 TITAN AND AN "05 TITAN. BOTH TRUCKS AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AT AROUND 75K MILES. WHEN THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHTS "OFF". THE '05 WAS FIXED UNDER A MANUFACTURERS RECALL. THE '04 HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE WANTING $800 TO FIX IT. *TR

THE SIDE AIR BAGS OF MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN DEPLOYED AS I WAS DRIVING. THERE WAS NO IMPACT, I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30MPH ON A ASPHALT SURFACED ROAD WHEN THE AIR BAGS JUST DEPLOYED. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY GOING 30MPH SO I DID NOT CRASH. NISSAN HAS BEEN CONTACTED BUT IT SEEMS THAT THEY'RE GOING OUT OF THEIR WAY TO TRY AN PROVE THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS IN A WRECK. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED AND HAS A CLEAN CARFAX AS WELL AS AN AUTOCHECK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE AIRBAG ON THE STEERING WHEEL DEPLOYED INADVERTENTLY. PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB

I HAVE A CONSISTENTLY REPRODUCIBLE PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT BELT SENSOR FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT. 150 POUND INDIVIDUAL SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT FAILS TO ENGAGE THE AIR BAG (IT IS INDICATING THAT THE AIR BAG IS OFF) ABOUT ONE-THIRD OF THE TIME THEY RIDE IN THE VEHICLE. BY MOVING IN THE SEAT AND SLIDING FORWARD, THE SENSOR REGISTERS THE INDIVIDUAL AND ENGAGES THE AIR BAG (SHUTTING OFF THE AIR BAG IS OFF LIGHT).

PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR FAILS TO RECOGNIZE MY 125 POUND WIFE. LIGHT STAYS ON INDICATING THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN EVENT OF CRASH. *AK

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG HAS MALFUNCTIONED. AS A RESULT, THE SENSOR LIGHT STAYED ON. THE CONSUMER IS CONCERNED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. THE DEALER STATES THE PART IS ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *LA

PASSENGER AIRBAG REMAINS TURNED OFF WITH 170 POUND PASSENGER. SENSOR TOO FAR FORWARD AND IF SITTING NORMALLY DOESN'T ACTIVATE, HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD ON SEAT TO ACTIVATE. *LA

MY 120LB WIFE DOES NOT ACTIVATE THE SEAT SENSOR FOR THE AIRBAG IN MY 04 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN 100% OF THE TIME, IT HAS OCCURRED REPEATEDLY. THE DEALER CHECKED & CONFIRMED THAT THE SYSTEM IS OPERATING NORMALLY AND STATED THAT THEY COULD DO NOTHING MORE. AT THIS POINT MY WIFE IS RIDING IN OUR TRUCK WITHOUT AN AIRBAG. WHILE SHE DOES WEAR A SEATBELT, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE COMFORT OF KNOWING THE FULL SAFETY SYSTEM IS OPERATIONAL IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. RESEARCH AND OTHER COMPLAINTS POSTED HERE SHOW TAHT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. *MR

NO CRASHES OR INJURIES. THE ADVANCED AIRBAG SYSTEM ON OUR 2004 NISSAN TITAN DISABLES PASSENGER AIRBAG WHEN A 132 POUND FEMALE IS PROPERLY SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.*AK WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM IN EVERY 2004 NISSAN TITAN AT A LOCAL DEALER'S LOT. *AK OUR DEALER STATES 125 POUNDS ON THE SEAT SENSOR ITSELF IS NECESSARY TO ENABLE THE AIRBAG, CLAIMED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND REFUSED TO RUN ANY DIAGNOSTICS ON THE SYSTEM. THE NISSAN WEBSITE CLAIMS 47 POUNDS, CONSUMER AFFAIRS STATES 60 POUNDS IS NECESSARY TO ENABLE THE ADVANCED AIRBAG. IT IS UNCLEAR IF THIS IS POUNDS OF PRESSURE EXERTED ON THE SEAT SENSOR ITSELF, OR IF A PERSON OF THIS PHYSICAL WEIGHT, SEATED PROPERLY, WOULD HAVE AN AIRBAG. MY 132 POUND WIFE IS EXERTING ABOUT 110 POUNDS OF WEIGHT ON THE SEAT ITSELF.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REMAINS DEACTIVATED ~50% OF THE TIME WITH A 125 LB PASSENGER IN SEAT. *JB

SENSOR FOR THE AIR BAG IS DEFECTIVE. WHEN A PASSENGER SITS IN THE SEAT, WHO WEIGHS APPROXIMATELY 130 LBS. THE AIR BAG BECOMES INACTIVE. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, WHO SAID THAT THIS WAS THE WAY THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED. ON EOF CONSUMER'S FRIENDS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK
