Description of the problem	Purchased a new 2013 nissan pathfinder and immediately on the drive home noticed an issue with the passenger side airbag. 1) the passenger side airbag "off" light stays lit when an individual is in the passenger side for the duration of the ride. 2) the supplemental airbag warning light on dashboard stays flashing for the duration of the ride. Took to the dealership in north haven, ct where we purchased. Their diagnosis was that we did not enter the car properly. We needed to both enter the car, fasten our seatbelts, then turn on the car for the passenger side airbag to be functional. Entering the vehicle as advised by the service technician did in fact allow the passenger airbag "off" light to be turned off and the flashing warning on the dashboard to disappear. I view this as a huge safety issue. The purpose of the passenger airbag sensor is for it to be operational when weight is applied to the passenger seat not for it to function only when you fasten your seatbelt before starting the vehicle. I said to the service manager ? So you are saying that the passenger airbag will not operate if anyone enters the passenger side while the car is running? What are mothers supposed to do when they pick up their child in an idling vehicle?? His response was ? I guess they will need to pull over to the side of the road, turn the car off, then turn it back on for the airbag to function.? The recall on the early 2013 models of the pathfinder should be expanded. This issue needs to be addressed.
