Nissan
Murano

Service air bag light on dash is blinking non stop, in addition the "Passenger Airbag" light below the radio controls is always showing "off" regardless of having a passenger in the seat. After getting the Data read via mechanic the issue is pointing towards bad communication from the airbag control module and the OCS being bad. This should be a recall. As the repairs can cost easily over 2000 per Nissan Dealer and online forums.

I have done a lot of research on these Nissan Muranos and other Nissan models. There are recalls for this exact same issue on models 2015-2019 and I have a 2014. I have viewed many complaints and reviews that state owners also have problem with the CVT transmission. Mine is giving error messages and been acting up while on the interstate. It will jolt into 4 rpm and higher and stay there. This always happens on the interstate and has happened a few times on slower speed limit roads. Seems like the issue is mainly when the car is over 60mph on the interstate. It seems very dangerous and I know Nissan CVT transmission have been recalled. I only have 132,000 miles on my vehicle and many mechanics have told me that it should not be going out like this with this few miles.

The airbag warning indicator lit up on my Nisan Murano dash board. This is safety concern for me and my family. When I took my vehicle to Nissan dealer to have it checked, they said there was a recall on it which expired. I bought this vehicle in 2021. I did not get any recall notice. The cost to address the issue per dealers estimate is more than $4,000.00. Why is Nisan refusing to address this?

The safety issue is with a 2014 Nissan Murano. April 22, 2024, the air bag light is on steady, so the vehicle was taken to a Nissan dealer to determine the repairs that are necessary. The Nissan dealer determined the battery charge was low and recharged the battery. The air bag light went off afterwards for 6 months. Then on 1-27-25, the Nissan Murano was again brought to the Nissan Dealer to determine why the air bag light was on. The technician diagnostic scan for codes found code B00A0 stored, in airbag for occupant detection system error. In plain terms, the seat cushion pressure sensor is defective. The dealer will only do the repair if they replace the entire passenger seat at a cost that is more than $3,700. From my research, At Nissan Parts, that pressure sensor costs $39.02. Part Occupant Sensor - Nissan (98853-3JA0A). The auto insurance will not cover this repair. This is a serious safety issue, where there is a possibility that the air bag could deploy unexpectedly causing serious injury to the passenger, deploy when a child is in the passenger seat, or not deploy at all in an accident. Searching for repair options on the web, I have found many forums and instances that describe the same problem. This should be a manufacturer recall.
