2017 Nissan Altima Airbags Problems

No initial incident created this problem. The airbag light randomly comes on for driver left side airbag. It has never been deployed, nor has the vehicle had any impact or damage.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving 25-30 MPH she crashed into a parked 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 that was parked illegally on the road. There were no warning lights illuminated.

I'm reaching out because my 2017 Nissan Altima has developed a serious issue with the passenger airbag system. The airbag warning light turned on recently (about a couple months ago now) and I took the vehicle to a Nissan dealership, twice, for diagnosis. They informed me that the passenger side seat airbag module is non functional and the repair would cost $2,667.29.

There has been no accident. The car has 60k miles and I barely drive that car, twice a month, as I work from home. The airbag light appeared all of a sudden.

In November 2023 vehicle had an airbag warning light, took to Nissan Dealer. Inspected by Nissan service. Diagnostic and "repair" performed on driver side airbag.

I left for work, acceleration at slow speed around 30 MPH within 40 seconds, the car began to gain speed, I let off the gas pedal, still accelerated. I tried slowly using brakes to slow down - no response. At this point, I notice that cruise control light, was lit up, on the dashboard but not set.

The vehicle airbag light malfunctions and stays on. It can cause the airbag to deploy or on deploy in a crash. This is an issue with many 2017 Nissan Altimas.

Airbag light came on randomly. Dealership says the unit needs to be replaced. 2900 dollar cost.

Took vehicle to get an oil changed & was informed that air bag light was on. Driver side air bag light came on with no warning & noticed now that the air bag seems deployed in the seat. Shop inspected & reset computer but could not find issue.

My airbag malfunction light came on randomly. Never have I been involved in an accident. I have only had this vehicle for 2 years.

I purchased my 2017 Nissan new and have always serviced it according to recommended guidelines. It has 31,103 miles on it and my airbag light came on and was blinking.

Lights just came on . Never had accident.

My vehicle had 46,765 miles on it when the airbag warning light came on. I contacted Nissan dealer in Oak Ridge TN (where I purchased the vehicle 1/18) and the stored code they found was B0020-13. I had purchased the extended warranty and my paperwork showed 72 months with replacement vehicle provided and 100.00 deductible.

The airbag malfunction light has turned on, this puts me at risk as a driver. The airbag assembly on the drivers side has failed. It has been inspected by Auto Nation Nissan in Chandler, AZ.

The airbag light came on solid. I got it checked at the dealership and they informed me that my driver side airbag module which is located in the side/rear of the driver's seat needed to be replaced. This would include changing the entire top section of the driver's seat.

The airbag light turned on and will stay on. The car was taken into the dealership for inspection and diagnose the problem. The vehicle has only 36,000 miles and it has not been involved in an accident.

My nissan altime 2017 has 35000 miles on it. My car has never been into any accident. The Airbag warning light was on June 2023 and I sent it to the Cost Mesa/CA dealer to check (if there was no issue identified, they would still charge $200 for examination; but if anything need to be fixed/replaced, the $200 would go to part of the repair fee).

Passenger Air Bag light is on and is available for inspection. Concern: Safety of Passenger if air bag will not deploy. A Nissan dealership twice turned it off but the light keeps returning.

The driver side airbag warning light appeared on dashboard approx 2 months ago. I took it to Piazza Nissan for service, where a 27 point vehicle inspection was performed. I was told the airbag needed to be replaced, as well as the LF seat back assembly.

Airbag is off and airbag indicator light is illuminated. The vehicle has not been in any accidents and Nissan states that this is an airbag issue (known). They refuse to warranty it even though the unit is under 100k miles.

Airbags deployed with no collision, so I had an inspection done with Nissan, and they reported that there was no malfunction. It does not make sense because airbags are not supposed to deploy mid-driving without anything hitting them. I was at risk, and other people on the road were put at risk of an accident.

I was driving for work and all the sudden the airbag light came on and stayed on. Was told I had an Error Code B0020 and that the LF drive side airbag needed to be replaced. It will be 3000 to fix, or I have NO AIRBAGS working in my car to drive my family.

Hello I’m not sure how to actually go about this. Just looking for a little clarification or guidance, I purchased my 2017 Nissan Altima from a dealership March 2020.
