| Description of the problem | I had problems with my air bag sensor ever since i bought the car. Every once in a while when i had a passenger in the front seat the air bag would deactivate. Originally the service manager stated that my purse must be to heavy and is knocking out the calibration. The second time i got a lesson on how to sit in the seat properly. Finally, nissan admitted there was a problem and announced the recall. Since it was happening more and more frequently the dealer put me on the top of the list to call when they received the parts. Saturday i finally was able to bring the car in for the air bag ocs sensor recall repair. When i picked the car up after the service i noticed that the passenger air bag warning light stayed on continuously. According to the manual "after placing the ignition switch in the on position, the supplemental air bag warning light illuminates. The supplemental air bag warning light will turn off after about 7 seconds if the system is operational". I went back inside and mentioned it to the service manager and was told that was the fix that nissan implemented. The warning light is now on constantly unless someone is in the passenger seat. This does not seem right and goes against everything in the nissan manual. Additionally, having a warning light on at night in the vehicle is a distraction. |
