| Description of the problem | There was recall on this vehicle nhtsa recall 16v-244. It was about the ocs. Vehicle was taken to crest nissan of frisco 6600 state hwy 121, frisco, tx 75034 on 14 june 2016. According to the invoice given to me by the dealer the ocs unit was reprogrammed. On 9 aug 16 i took the vehicle back to the same dealer because the supplemental air bag warning light remains on continuously. But the customer service agent at crest nissan of frisco told me that there is nothing wrong with it, this light is supposed to stay on unless the passenger seat is occupied by an adult . Owner's manual on page 1-57 clearly mentions that " if the supplemental air bag warning light remains on after approximately 7 seconds, under this condition, the front air bag, side air bag and curtain air bag or pretensioner systems may not operate properly". The dealer has not only failed to rectify the problem but also lied to me about this technical and a potentially hazardous problem. It could mean that the front air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag and/or pretensioner systems will not operate in an accident. |
