| Description of the problem | Purchased in may 2015. Within a month of ownership, airbag light on passenger side would not engage intermittently if passenger was seated in car before started. I just had the passenger wait until car was started to sit. In july the airbag light began to illuminate while driving intermittently with passenger in seat. Serviced it at the dealership in the beginning of august and they said they found a code and cleared it. Problem should be resolved. It happened again several times. Serviced it at the dealer again in july. Mechanic performed a zero point ocs reprogram. Again i was told the problem should be resolved. Problem continued. Checked it in for service in october. Dealer trying to say the person in the seat is too light. It's happened to adults that weigh over 150 and many times to my daughter who weighs at least 110. This shouldn't be a problem anyway since the service tech told me the minimum weight is 70 pounds for the front passenger seat. Dealer wants to give us the car back. We refused because it's not safe. Waiting to hear back from the dealer. This same dealership took back our 2014 nissan pathfinder because of this issue too! I have many videos of the problem. |
