| Component | AIR BAGS |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Airbag sensor is according to the nissan dealer only activating the airbag if the passenger is over 120lbs. My wife is under this weight and the airbag off light is on every time we drive somewhere. Nissan has tried to play it off saying it's actually safer for an adult under 120lbs to have the airbag off. This is completely unacceptable and i do not have this problem in my vw or my mazda. |
