| Description of the problem | Had random passenger airbag remain on when passenger was sitting in seat - met all weight requirements. This never happened continually but was problematic enough to bring in to dealer. They could not find anything wrong. Brought in several times, still no fix. Nissan recalled this problem in april 2015, had fix done to vehicle. Within a week airbag light stayed on with passenger in seat. This issue continues yet talking with nissan they believe that since the dealer can't find any error codes showing what the problem is they will not fix it. Nissan will not put this under nhtsa campaign number: 15v681000 as it does not fit their criteria. I believe any passenger sitting in that seat is not safe. Vehicle is running passenger comes in and sits in seat, passenger airbag light stays on. Passenger is 160#. If i turn vehicle off and restart the airbag light usually does stay off. But not sure of the safety at that point - is airbag really on? This is continual since buying the vehicle in 2013, fix in spring of 2015 did not fix ocs for my vehicle. |
