2007 Nissan Pathfinder Airbags Problems

Your airbag warning light came on when you started the vehicle. A diagnostic test at an independent mechanic couldn't identify the cause. The airbag system may not deploy properly in a crash if this issue isn't resolved. You'll likely need a dealer diagnostic scan and possibly replacement of the airbag control module or sensor.

Your airbag system is triggering an emergency warning light on your dashboard. This indicates a potential problem with the airbag system that needs immediate diagnostic attention to ensure the airbags will function properly in a crash.

Your 2007 Pathfinder has multiple issues: the airbag warning light stays on and won't turn off, the fuel gauge always shows empty even when the tank is full, the tire pressure sensor light won't go off, and the engine stalls while driving—especially when slowing down for turns. The stalling started about 7 months ago and happens whether you're in town or on the highway. You'll likely need diagnostic work to address the airbag system, fuel gauge/sender unit, and engine stalling issues.

Your car's airbag warning light is turning on. The vehicle is parked and not in use. You should have a dealer diagnose why the airbag system warning light is illuminated, as this indicates a potential issue with the airbag system that needs attention.

AIRBAG - MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I SAW THAT THERE IS A RECALL. HOWEVER, THE NISSAN DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL. SEATBELTS - I HAVE TO INSERT INTO THE FASTENER SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE CLICKING IN PLACE. OTHER IS MY MAIN HORN. DOES NOT WORK AND HAS NOT WORKED FOR OVER A YEAR.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WONT GO OFF. MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK IN THE AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED. MY FUEL PUMP SENSOR HAS ALREADY STOPPED WORKING AND HAS CAUSED PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS NEEDLE AND THE DIGITAL MILES TILL EMPTY. ALSO THE LOCK FOR THE HATCH WINDOW DOES NOT WORK MY HATCH WINDOW IS ALWAYS OPEN.

WHEN THE CAR ENGINE IS ON, THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND IT DOESN'T GO OFF, EVEN WHILE DRIVING. THE OWNER MANUAL STATES NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WHILE IT'S IN THIS STATE. TO HAVE IT CHECKED BY A NISSAN DEALER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THIS VEHICLE WILL HAVE TO BE TOWED AS I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION.

MY WIFE WAS IN A HEAD ON CRASH, A MAN TURNED LEFT IN FRONT OF HER SHE HIT HIM. THE WREAK WAS HEAD ON FOR HER TRUCK AND SIDE IMPACT FOR HIM. THANK GOD SHE WAS WEARING HER SEAT BELT BECAUSE NO AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED. THE SPEED LIMIT IN THAT AREA IS 45 MPH. HOW DOES A HEAD ON CRASH AT 45 MPH NOT DEPLOY ON THE DRIVER SIDE? WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM AN INDEPENDENT DEALER IN DALLAS TX IN 2010.

TAMARA INFLATORS , FUEL GAUGE REGISTERS EMPTY WHEN TANK IS FILLED AND WILL NOT DETECT THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL UNTIL HALF OF THE TANK IS EMPTY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED.

TAKATA RECALL MY AIR BAG LIGHTS CONTINUE TO BLINK AND DO NOT GO OFF BROUGHT IN TO DEALER TO GET IT CHECK. THE DEALER STATES ITS NOT THE SENSOR ITS ITS A CIRCUIT SPIRAL CABLE DECLINE. NISSAN REFUSES TO PUT MY VEHICLE IN THE CALL BACK. I THINK ITS PART OF THE TAKATA AIR BAG DESIGN AND SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE CALL BACK.

MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CONTINUE TO BLINK, GOT IT CHECK BY A NISSAN DEALER, THEY INFORM ME ITS A AIRBAG CABLE AND I FEEL ITS A DEFECT IN THE AIR BAR. THE DEALER WANT ME TO PAY THE COST. PLEASE INFORM

NOTICED THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHING. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND THEY INFORMED ME OF A RECALL NOTICE ON THE FRONT CRASH ZONE SENSOR AND ADVISED ME TO CONTACT MY DEALERSHIP. I'M WONDERING HOW TO PROCEED WITH REPAIR/REPLACEMENT.

AIR BAG LIGHT SENSOR CAME ON AND KEEPS FLASHING. JUST STARTED THE CAR AND THE SENSOR LIGHT KEPT FLASHING. TOOK TO NISSAN FOR OIL CHANGE AND TOLD THEM AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING. THEY ADVISED ME THAT IT WAS GOING TO COST $800 TO FIX AND THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY UNTIL IT WAS REPAIRED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHILE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. IN ADDITION, THE FAILURE WOULD RECUR WHENEVER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS UNOCCUPIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE MALFUNCTION WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE FAULTY OCCUPANCY DETECTION SENSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC STOP, THE VEHICLE WAS CRASHED INTO ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS THEN STRUCK BY A SECOND VEHICLE FROM THE FRONT. THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. AS A RESULT OF THE CRASH, THE FUEL PUMP BEGAN TO LEAK. THE POLICE WERE NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH A POLICE REPORT. THE CONTACT WAS INJURED TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT OF A HEAD TRAUMA. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AT THE CRASH SCENE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE M1 DOING 70 MPH WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE IMPACT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND EXPLODED FOR NO REASON. LUCKILY MY HUSBAND FROZE AND SLOWLY MOVED OVER TO THE SLOW LANE. THE VEHICLE WAS RECOVERED AND TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WERE THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND WHY IT HAD GONE OFF. SO THEY CALLED NISSAN FOR ADVICE WHO THEN CAME OUT AND TOOK THE AIR BAG SENSOR SYSTEM OUT TO BE TESTED. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THEY FOUND A SCRATCH AND 2 SMALL DENTS UNDERNEATH OF THE DRIVERS SIDE FOOT RAIL WHICH WERE FRESH AND THAT WE MOST OF DROVE OVER SOMETHING AND THAT COULD HAVE SET THE MOTION SENSOR TO TRIGGER THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY. I EXPLAINED THAT WE HAD NEVER DROVE OVER ANYTHING OR KNOWN TO HAVE HAD ANY DAMAGE DONE TO THE UNDERNEATH OF THE VEHICLE. THEY REPLIED THAT THE MOTION SENSORS MOST HAVE FELT THAT THE CAR MIGHT HAVE OVER TURNED THEREFORE ACTIVATING THE OPPOSITE SIDE AIR BAGS. AFTER SEEING THE INDENTATION FOR MYSELF I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE VEHICLES WHEELS WOULD HAVE NOT LIFTED OFF THE ROAD SO HOW CAN THE SENSORS THINK THAT IT WAS GOING TO TURN OVER. TWO DAYS LATER I RECEIVED A CALL EXPLAINING THAT NISSAN WAS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DAMAGE AND THAT IT WAS NOT GOING TO BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY, BUT THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR SYSTEM WITH A BRAND NEW ONE. WHY WOULD THEY REPLACE IT IF THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE OLD ONE? I ASKED THEM WHAT WOULD NEED REPLACING THEY SAID A NEW SEAT, AIR BAGS AND ROOF LINER AND THAT IT WOULD COST THOUSANDS. NORMALLY I WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME OF DAY WITH MY 2 CHILDREN SAT THERE AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SLEEP SINCE IT HAPPENED DUE TO THINKING WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED, AS IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A FATALITY. *TR

MY 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER (WITH CURTAIN AIRBAGS) WAS REAR-ENDED AND TOTALED. THE THIRD ROW SEATS WERE CRUSHED AND THE THIRD ROW WINDOWS WERE BLOWN OUT. THE AIRBAGS IN THE THIRD ROW DID NOT DEPLOY. WHY? THE PATHFINDER HAS OPTIONAL CURTAIN AIRBAGS, BUT I KNOW THAT WAS MY NUMBER 1 REQUEST FROM THE DEALER SINCE I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND I CARPOOL. *TR
