| Description of the problem | We have the same issue that many have complained about with the air bag light indicating that it is off because not enough weight is being distributed in the seat to register while driving. My wife is 140 lbs and it is constantly turning off and on. Two nissan dealerships told my wife there was nothing they could do but that some women sit on the side of the seat and so they are not sitting correctly for it to register. So... I began sitting in the passenger seat (i'm 6'3 225 lbs) and it still does it. I love nissan cars and trucks but this is a ludicrous answer!! How can you sit in a seat of a car wrong!!!! |
