The vehicle was taken to a dealer, and the contact was informed that there were no open recalls associated with the VIN for the failures. The vehicle was not repaired.

Airbag light continuously flashes, I read that there were recalls with Nissan/Infiniti airbags and my model and year was included so I took it to the dealer to have it checked. Infiniti of Lynnwood can't find the problem, they said all the sensors were fine and diagnosed it as; "98820-3JA9B - Sensor-Side Airbag center. Airbag diagnosis sensor to start, this is the first step, will have to test further if not corrected after replacement". The service dealer said that it's the first step to figure out what's wrong, the quote was $2,120.96, he said it might fix it and can be a money pit. My concern is that my car might have been missed in the airbag recall.

The vehicle components OCS MODULES and Sensors are failed. They have been inspected by Bob Moore Dealer in OKC, OK and with their repair shop currently waiting for Recall Approval. There is a warning signal on dash board of Airbag displaying off when a passenger is sitting on front passenger side. It does not sensor anyone in seat. Their are several campaigns out on JX35 but say it has expired. However, the campaigns described my current Safety issue I'm having with my JX35 2013 Vehicle. They dealer need a current approval/ Campaign to cover my repair cost of$785.24

Supplemental restraint system side control module has failed. I have got it checked to find out that this part is notorious for failing. It makes it so the airbags will not work in an accident. My airbag light was blinking and I took it in to get repaired only to find that the restraint system is broke and is NOT easy or cheap to fix. I feel like since the airbags not working is a huge safety issue I feel as if there should be something done about this

Airbag light just came on out of nowhere. Took to dealership and they stated they needed to replace the whole system. Calling it an airbag control unit internal failure. States it’s 2300 to fix. Makes no sense why it went out. I’m driving on it until the airbag recall is finished.

The vehicle was being driven on the freeway. I was driving in the carpool lane with a passenger going around 75-80mph. The road was a smooth paved road, there wasn't anything on the road for my car to hit or run over. Then all of a sudden the driver-side airbag curtain deployed, and my seatbelt tightened and locked up in place. This frightened me and left me unable to drive correctly and endangered both my passenger's and my life. I had to immediately pull off to an exit and I concluded that the driver-side airbags deployed spontaneously and this put my life in danger and others driving on the freeway. So the driver-side side airbags malfunctioned and are available for inspection. The safety of others was put at risk by having the airbags deployed while driving on the freeway at a fairly high speed. The component has not been inspected or replaced by the manufacturer or any other entity. There was a passenger seatbelt warning light lit up prior to the incident, but it was for the passenger airbags and its meaning is that the passenger airbags would not deploy in the case of a vehicle accident/collision.

Airbag light flashing in dashboard; passenger front seat sensor not working- showing unoccupied when occupied with adult. VIN # not showing as part of recall, yet this is a known issue with the model/year. Interesting a common trend with certain VIN #s like mine shown on NHTSA complaints page. Another recall campaign needed to include these VIN numbers. Have reported several times to the dealership. I've now paid $1000 to repair the airbag sensors, and problem is not resolved. Nissan is responsible and this is a safety issue. NTSHA needs to do another recall campaign.

When I purchased the car no warning lights or problems were wrong with it it drove fine. The same day I got it home which is an hour away, the check engine light came on so i called them back. I took car back to shop and told them the code said it was the converter they said that was not right and it was just bad gas put in it so they reset engine light. As soon as i got back home the engine light came back on and then all the power locks on the doors stopped working. I took it to meinieke in greenville in which they said my converter went bad and that is why the engine light was on. Then they said it must have been in water because it was severe rust underneath the hood. and it effected electrical system. However, none of this information was on the car fax report. no flood damage, no repairs etc. Also none of this was occurring
