| Description of the problem | The airbag light for front seat passenger indicates "airbag is off" when an adult is sitting in the front passenger seat. Adult weighs 125lbs. I have taken video of this as evidence. This happens intermittently. I have also called nissan customer service to report this. Nissan says there is no recall or issue. I beg to differ. Nhtsa bullietin 08v521000 list occupant classification system (ocs) "fails to recognize adult in seat and shuts off passenger airbag". Shame on nissan. |
