Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I STARTED MY CAR UP ON 12/11/2019 AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS BEEN FLASHING SINCE WITH NO ACCIDENT. I'M AFRAID MY AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.
TAKATA RECALL AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO STAY ON , IM AFRAID THE AIRBAG IS GOING TO EXPLODE WHILE IM DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AT RANDOM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG MODULE AND SPIRAL CABLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,375.
DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AFTER DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS SHUT WHILE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. TERRIBLE SHAKING WHEN GOING 60MPH AND ESPECIALLY BAD WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, WHICH THEN CAUSE A HARD JERK OR PULL TO THE RIGHT. WHEELS WERE ALL FOUR BENT AT THE TIME I PURCHASED THE CAR, BUT DEALER NEVER FIXED ONE THING I LISTED AND HE AGREED TO FIX OR ATTEMPTED TO FIX BEFORE THE SALE. CAR WAS REPOSSESSED MONTHS LATER AND RESOLD AT PRIVATE AUCTION. THE NEW OWNERS NEED TO BE AWARE OF THE AIRBAGS THAT ARE MISSING. THIS CAR OBVIOUSLY WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND DOES NOT SHOW UP ON ANY VEHICLE HISTORY REPORT BUT I AM UNABLE TO PROVE IT. THE VALUE OF THE CAR AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE WAS $4,000. THE NORMAL WAS $6,500 AT THAT TIME. IF I HAD KEPT THE POS, I'D PAY OVER $21,000 WITH INTEREST AND OTHER FEES INCLUDED. THIS IS FRAUD. I STRONGLY FEEL LIKE WE'RE DEALING WITH FRAUD IN THIS SITUATION, BUT UNFORTUNATELY I CANNOT PROVE IT BY MYSELF AND NO ONE WILL HELP ME PROVE IT.
NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH 07 MAXIMA WE BOUGHT, LATER REPOSSESSED. THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE CAR WOULD SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY ESPECIALLY WHEN BRAKES WERE USED. ALSO WHEELS (NOT FACTORY BUT THEY WERE ON THERE WHEN PURCHASED, BUT ASKED TO REPLACE BUT NEVER HAPPENED) WERE NOTICEABLY BENT. AND LASTLY, THE FRONT AND SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AFTER SHUTTING MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CAUSING MY ARM TO BE BURNED.
BOTH THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS FAILED AT THE SAME TIME. WHILE THERE WAS A RECALL ON MANY 2007-2008 NISSAN MODELS DUE TO AIRBAG ISSUES, THE MAXIMA WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FACT THAT BOTH FAILED AT THE SAME TIME SHOULD POINT TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT/FAILURE. *TR
AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON EVEN AFTER CLEARING SOLUSPRO SCANNER CODE, "B1049 DRIVER AIR BAG MODULE (OPEN)". I AM CONCERNED MY DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG WILL SPONTANEOUSLY RELEASE OR NOT RELEASE AT ALL WHEN NEEDED. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THE DRIVER, ALL PASSENGERS ARE AT RISK OF FATAL INJURY. I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, AND WAS TOLD THE DIAGNOSTIC HAD TO BE RUN BY A DEALER MECHANIC BEFORE THEY CAN DO ANYTHING. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NO CAMPAIGN CURRENTLY OPEN FOR MY ISSUES. THE BODY ISSUE HAS TO DO WITH POOR PAINT OR CLEAR COAT QUALITY COMMON TO NISSAN VEHICLES. WHILE THE REST OF MY CAR LOOKS FINE, THE HOOD AND THE ROOF LOOK HORRIBLE. LIKE SOMEONE TOOK SANDING PAPER TO THE CLEAR COAT AND THE COLOR IS FADED AND GETTING WORSE AS TIME PASSES. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN NISSAN FOR THIS COSMETIC DETAIL. I TRADED IN MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA BECAUSE THE ROOF LINER SAGGED AS SOON AS I BEGAN DRIVING WITH THE SUNROOF OPEN. I HOPE THAT THE RESULTS OF THE AIR BAG ISSUE ARE AS MINOR AS THE COSMETIC ISSUES, OTHERWISE NISSAN IS GOING TO HAVE SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS ON THERE HANDS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.
THE AIRBAG SENSOR FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER IS FAULTY IN MY 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE LIGHT IS ALWAYS FLASHING IN THE DASH BOARD. I NOTICED NISSAN HAD THIS PROBLEM ON OTHER VEHICLES, BUT MY MAXIMA WAS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL. *TR
2007 NISSAN MAXIMA. CONSUMER WANTED TO KNOW IF HIS VEHICLE HAS FAULTY AIR BAGS. *TA
AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WON'T TURN OFF. I'M WORRIED IT WILL SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOY AT ANYTIME. IT IS THE OPINION OF VARIOUS CAR WASH ESTABLISHMENTS THAT ROOF AND HOOD PAINT IS A COMMON DEFECT ON NISSAN VEHICLES, INCLUDING MINI-VANS. MY CAR'S HOOD AND ROOF LOOK LIKE I'VE LIVED BY THE SEA FOR YEARS. TRUTH IS THAT I'VE ALWAYS LIVED INLAND. THERE'S NO REASON WHY MY CAR SHOULD LOOK 20 YEARS OLD! *TR
AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT MALFUNCTION ABOUT 123,500 MILES ON MY NISSAN MAXIMA 2007. I AM NO LONGER A HAPPY NISSAN OWNER, I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A NISSAN AGAIN. I'VE HAD MY CATALYST CONVERTER FAIL ON ME NOTHING, BUT A MONEY PIT. *TR

THE LIGHTCAME BACK ON TOOK TO MY DEALER(ROUND ROCK NISSAN) THEY SAID I NEED A NEW AIRBAG WOW THEIR BUSINESS WAS SLOW I WAS THE ONLY CAR THERE FOR SERVICE GUESS THAT'S WHY THEY WANT TO CHARGE 1000.00 TO FIX WHEN ALL THE HONEST DEALERS ADMITTED THEY WEREN'T SURE HOW TO FIX SINCE THERE WAS NO CODE!!!
