| Description of the problem | Purchased a 2015 pathfinder sl in may 2015 to replace the 2014 pathfinder sl we had. The dealer returned the 2014 for us for the same issue we're experiencing with the 2015. In late june the passenger seat air bag would not engage for several minutes if someone was sitting in the seat before the car would start. Our resolution was to wait to sit in the seat until the car was started. This worked until the end of july when the air bag would disengage with a passenger in the seat while the car was in motion. We brought it to the dealer who found a code, cleared it and was told it was in good working condition. The problem persisted with many videos to show the issue. Brought it back to the dealer in august. Dealer could not recreate the issue but because we had videos, understood there was a real issue and performed a "zero point ocs reprogram" and service tech hoped it would "do the trick". It didn't and the problem escalated. Brought it back to the dealer in september and car is still there. Dealership again could not "recreate" the issue and wanted to give us the car back. We refused because it's a safety issue. Dealer finally agreed to get nissan involved. Still waiting to hear back. We also called nissan and opened a case file and waiting to hear back from nissan too. |
