| Manufacurer | Nissan North America, Inc. |
| Brand | NISSAN |
| Model | LEAF |
| Model Year | 2013 |
| File date | 20/10/16 |
| Component | AIR BAGS |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | 1. Passenger air bag light is on continuously when car is on, stationary or moving, regardless of front passenger seat occupancy. 2. Airbag system light blinks continuously when car is on, stationary or moving, regardless of passenger seat occupancy. The local nissan dealership has worked on the problem four times over two plus years, ultimately unsuccessful for more than a few weeks. Dealership now refuses to fix the problem citing nissan corp. Reluctance to pay for repair under original warranty, which has expired. Dealership claims passenger seat replacement is necessary at a cost to us of perhaps $2000. We don't know whether the passenger airbag will not deploy when it shouldn't, or will deploy when it should. |
