| Description of the problem | 2005 nissan pathfinder le. Passenger side airbag weight sensor in the seat does not consistently detect the presence of my wife who is ~120 lbs. It does intermittently detect her as well as our 90 lbs daughter. We consider this to be a serious safety defect. We have contacted nissan corporate and had the car to the dealer twice. Nissan corporate will do nothing to fix the defective weight sensor and will not admit that it is malfunctioning. *ak |
