| Description of the problem | Passenger side air bag light does not go off (indicating air bag is not operational) when wife sits in the passenger seat. Her weight and height is ~115lbs and 5'5". Taken to dealer 3 times and not able to fix. The dealer checked vin and this vehicle was not part of the nissan recall. However, the vehicle was purchased 1/9/2013 and clearly falls within the manufacturing date of the recall. I or the dealer were not informed. First, nissan should expand the recall to encompass all affected vehicles and second nissan needs to figure out what is causing the problem after 3 attempts for the dealer to repair. 1st attempt: zero out sensor and reprogram. 2nd replace sensors. 3rd investigate problem with nissan tech services and they could not help. This is a safety issue and i don't have a lot of confidence that the air bag would work when the light is out. |
