My 2010 nissan altima coupe passenger occupant classification system (ocs) reads off when a passenger is seated. I am a 6ft 4in 230 pound individual and the ocs system fails to recognize me when i am seated in the passenger seat. This occurs when the vehicle is in motion, stoped, and driving down the highway. I made my nissan dealer aware of this issue before the first recall in 2013 of the ocs system and they failed to fix this safety issue. My nissan dealer (petro nissan hattiesburg, ms 39402) lead me to believe the problem had been fixed and told me to ignore the ocs off light on my dash. After four nissan altima ocs recalls (03/01/2013, 10/20/2015, 04/26/2016, 12/19/2016) i have grown more concern for the safety of my passengers and myself. As of 12/04/2018 at 5:52 p. M. I have directly contacted nissan customer service. A representative proceeded to tell me that nissan is no longer responsible for the safety defect in their vehicle because it was eight years old as of march 2018. I continued to press nissan |
