2009 Nissan Sentra Airbags Problems
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.

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT POP ON WHEN I WAS STOPPING FOR RED LIGHT. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN A CRASH ,FIRE , OR FLOOD. THE AIR BAG MODULE MUST BE A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM, THIS IS NOT NO ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PROBLEM. THERE ARE OTHER NISSAN MODELS WITH SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE DON'T LET MANUFACTURERS GET AWAY WITH THIS, IT IS PUTTING ME AND MY PASSENGERS IN VERY HIGH DANGER. THIS IS A ITEM ONLY MANUFACTURERS HAVE EASY ACCESS TO.I PAYED ALOT OF MONEY FOR VEHICLE, PLEASE ADD MY VEHICLE FOR RECALL , THERE'S NO WHERE ELSE TO TURN TO. THANK FOR YOUR HELP AND CONSIDERATION.

DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG ALERT BLINKING. NISSAN CLAIMS NO RECALL AND STATES THAT THEY MUST REPLACE THE AIR BAG IN ORDER TO RUN DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. MY CAR IS IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER SO MY QUESTION TO YOU IS; WHAT CONSTITUTES A MANDATORY RECALL? MUST CONSUMERS WAIT UNTIL THERE ARE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF INCIDENTS BEFORE IT IS DETERMINED A FAULTY PART? *TR
