| Description of the problem | Passenger air bag off warning light comes on intermittently, even with a person over 100 lbs. In the front passenger seat. This has been an issue since the car was new. I brought the car into the dealer and they "recalibrated" the sensor, but this did not fix the issue. The recent passenger air bag recall did not include my vin, so it appears that nissan has no idea how to fix this. By reading these complaints on safercar. Gov, it appears that this is a widespread issue. How long will nissan's customers be forced to drive around with compromised safety systems? |
