| Description of the problem | So i have been having this problem ever since i purchased this vehicle. The passenger air bag off switch turns on while an adult is sitting in the seat and car is being driven. I have brought it in for repairs 4 separate times. The first time they performed a "zero point" reset. A few days went by and it did it again. I took it back 2 times after that and they kept saying they could not duplicate the problem even though i have video of it on my phone. So i took it to a different dealership to see what they would say about it and the many other problems i am experiencing. They had my car for 10 days. I personally spoke and test drove with the technician and he told me he performed the zero point reset again. But when i picked it up the paperwork only states that they could not reproduce the problem and no work was performed. But last night the same night i picked it up it did it again and again i have video evidence of it switching off while sitting in it and driving. This is a huge safety issue, and someone needs to makes nissan fix it. Oh and the loaner car which was a 2013 nissan rogue did the same exact thing and i have 2 videos of it. |
