| Description of the problem | The passenger airbag light on the dash intermittently stays on, indicating that it is disabled, even with a 150 lb adult seated in the passenger seat. This has been a problem since we purchased the car new in 2013. I have taken the car in many times. The most recent time was about one month ago. This was after we had the recall performed a couple of months ago. What they did for the recall did not work, so i took it back to the same dealer, bill robertson nissan. They had the car all day and they said all they did is check the wire connections and they were ok. Nissan knows there is a problem with the passenger airbag system on this model (and others) but so far they either can |
