| Description of the problem | Passenger air bag is intermittently disabled with passenger in passenger seat. Problem has reocured intermittently numerous times since we purchased vehicle (dec 2014) however dealer says cannot fix until it fail so they can see it. Code no fault found is all they will tell us. Dealer has made no attempt to fix problem other than read codes. No parts replaced, no adjustments made no troubleshooting of any kind as far as i know. Nissan corporate prefers to deny problem exists. Problem occurs with wife in seat as she is frequent passenger. Dealer never ask her to sit in seat to check codes at that time. Have 6 page document that nisan provided that tells one how to sit in seat, more a cya document from nissan. Doc says there may be an object placed under the front seat but if you notice nissan elected to remove the trim on 2015 models that keeps the trash out. Also have copy of december 2015 consumer reports that list this exact problem for another nissan mode, (lower lh corner). Honest dealers will admit there is a problem, ours will not! Dealer hands are tied by nissan usa as they cannot swap parts without corporates approval. Problem occurs just after you start vehicle with passenger in passenger seat, air bag disabled light may go off in 1 min, 3 min or 30 or more min as vehicle is driven. Cannot make it happen or make lightt go off. Am worried if we have accident when air bag is disabled how much protection does my wife have or more importantly much has she lost. Problem occurs both in city and highway driving. |
