| Description of the problem | This is an ongoing problem. The information provided above is approximate as i didn't know it was an issue until a recall from my nissan dealer on april 22' 2014. Since then i have had it back to the dealer two more times for the same incident only to be told it could not be fixed, but they gave me a procedure to get around the issue. The issue involves the air bag light on the passengers side staying lit even when there is an adult in the seat. The light on means the passengers air bag is disabled. I am told to check light while the car in on and in park and if on, have the passenger stay perfectly still for about eight seconds, until the light goes out. Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't. Occasionally i have to shut off the engine and restart in order for this to work. Most times, i forget to check the light only to notice it on while driving. This is not acceptable. I worry about not noticing and having a front end accident. Surely in this day and age nissan engineers can find a fix. |
