My side airbags deployed unexpectedly and without impact while riving down the street. I was in my neighborhood, close to my home, and suddenly the passenger side airbags deployed. The car shut down immediately. There is no impact to the side of the car and no dents (pics attached) I have a "malfunction" error on my screen. I don't know why this happened. My safety was at risk because if I was on the highway and this happened, it would've caused an accident. Also, I have…

NHTSA complaint #11548667 · source - Filed Aug 10, 2023FLAirbags
Driving to Deep Gap, NC 7/28/2023 the “passenger airbag” lights came on and stayed on. When we got home we tried several Utube reset options and the lights went off, for a few starts of the engine. Now the lights stay on all the time. Being that I have a 2018 Nissan Rouge, I am wondering if I have one of the faulty recalled airbag sensors put when the vehicle was built in 2018 in Japan. We still have to use the vehicle daily and it is available for inspection. Living in…

The passenger airbag light stays illuminated regardless if there is a passenger in the seat or not. A diagnostic scan was run and it is Code= B00A0:00. This issue has been under recall for model years up to 2017 and my car is a 2018. There is a service bulletin for this issue and I have been quoted several thousand dollars to fix it. The car was not in an accident and nothing precipitated this issue. It literally happened upon starting the car one day. The 2018 model year…

The passenger Occupant Classification System is malfunctioning. The weight sensor under the passenger side is no longer detecting an adult sitting in the passenger seat.

I was in a auto accident. The drivers seat (side airbag) deployed as well as the curtain airbag. This accident hasn’t been shown to my dealership because the car is sitting in a junk yard. The side airbag that came out of my seat hit me so hard that it burned me through 3 layers of clothing and gave me a third degree burn about the size of a grapefruit. I have yet to have my insurance inspect this, but it just looks like a deployed airbag and it ripped open my seat. I was…
