| Description of the problem | I have had trouble with my cars " air bag off " warning light staying lit with a passenger in the seat ever since i bought the car new . It has been to the dealership to be " repaired " 4 times . Each time it was not corrected . Recently i brought the car in for this problem as part of the safety recall . Despite this ,once again this past weekend the " airbag off " light comes on even though a passenger is in the seat . The light will come on randomly and then stay lit the whole time i am driving ... No matter how the passenger sits or moves in the seat it will not turn off until the car is turned completely off and then restarted . Now the dealer says to bring the car in for the 5th time and they will see if there is an error code . ( in the past there has not been any error codes retained ) i feel this car is completely unsafe for my family until this problem can be fixed ... Until then i never know if my airbags are truly working correctly ... And i don't want to have to find out after an accident that they weren't . My last nissan ! |
