Owner-reported complaints naming the airbag system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Airbags reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

WHEN I TRIED TO START THE CAR AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON. CAR WAS NOT IN ANY ACCIDENT. DEALER REPLACED AIR BAGS:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE. SINCE IT HAPPENED WITHOUT ANY REASON, I CONCLUDE THAT AIR BAG SYSTEM SUPPLIED WITH NISSAN QUEST IS UNSAFE AND WILL NOT HELP DURING ACCIDENT. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER FAULT, I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR PRICE ($800). *JB
