I have repeatedly gotten indicators (via vehicle's computer) of air bag failure, on a vehicle of low mileage, which has never been in an accident, and has gotten failures regarding the front passenger seat, which is rarely used. The first time, the dealer replaced the seatback and airbag under warranty. The second time the dealer replaced the seatbelt assembly. How, the 3rd time, they tell me that the same seat -…

Passenger-side airbag indicator light "yellow dashboard light" that typically comes on when anyone sits in the passenger seat. (anytime at any location) also the red airbag warning light on dashboard. Dealer states it will cost $2400 to repair. Other models of nissan vehicles with the same problem are covered by a recall, not 2011 frontier p/u. The problem seems to be the occupant classification sensor.

Side airbags deployed while my wife was driving on a smooth county road without a collision at approximately 20 mph. Driver only in the vehicle, ears are ringing. Had to cut the air bags to be able to drive the vehicle home. In drive way, unusable at this point. Seat belt retractors activated so cannot use seatbelt at this point.

Going down back road, hit a depression, the truck naturally rocked a bit from side to side, side airbags (passenger and driver) suddenly deployed w/a horrendous loud bang, scaring me half to death a long w/my left ear ringing. Ridiculous that it is that sensitive in a 4x4 truck that they advertise navigating rough conditions. I truly hope this does not end up costing me and that nissan steps up to the plate and…
