Description of the problem | The occupant classification system (ocs) is designed to classify the size and weight of the front seat passenger and, under certain conditions, automatically turn off the passenger air bag. The ocs system is designed to only deploy the front passenger airbag when the front passenger seat is occupied by an adult. In the affected vehicles, the ocs software may incorrectly classify the passenger seat as empty when it is occupied by an adult. If the ocs does not detect an adult occupant in the passenger seat, the passenger airbag would be deactivated. I have had this happen 2 times in my car with my wife which is a short light woman, i went to nissan in greensboro, nc and they got the parts in, tore apart car but nissan sent them incomplete parts and now it is on back order.... Has been like that since august! |
