| Description of the problem | The pass. Side air bag off light do not all ways turn off when someone is setting in pass. Seat. Nissan last year had a recall for this problem, they reloaded the ocs software for this problem. I have had 3 problem so far sense the recall. Most of the time there is no one but me in the car so i do not have a idea of how often it could had fail if someone was in the pass. Seat with every trip. I have only taken the car once to the dealer for this problem because the first time i did not think anything about it. The second time i took it to the dealer and after checking it out, they told me that there was noting they could or would do because they had no failure and that nissan will not let them replace any parts unless there is a failure as nissan will not pay for the item. Open ref.# 19611123 with nissan and was told about the same thin, except nissan said that it was the dealer call but they would not pay for no failure part replacement. I believe is a safety problem and someone with power should look into it, do to the fact there have already been a recall for this problem. No one i talk to at the dealer or on the phone to nissan would or could do anything about it. The internet has many write up about this problem that no one will do anything about. I guess they are waiting for someone to be badly injured or killed to take the problem serious. |
