| Description of the problem | My 2008 nissan has 54000 miles on it. I had an passenger air bag light off ocs codeb1018 occupant sensor unit malfunction and looking up on it nissan have a massive recall on this issue all the way to 2017 vehicles. Basically, if the passenger is less then 150lbs the air bag should not deploy as per nissan but with the sensor being fail air bag will not deploy at all even in a major accident. This leaves the passenger wide open for injury. I called the nissan customer service and it seems they are not concerned at all. They want to only treat this if the vin is under recall and not if it's not under recall. I believe it's a liability and major safety concern. Nissan should be worried about every vehicle and not just the one they are calling. I don't understand the robotic mentality either you worry about safety or you don't. You can't have both ways. Their customer service terrible not another nissan product and i will tell others to steer clear. Sadly if it was a vacuum cleaner i would've got new one by the manufacturer by now. It's the cost of repair nissan trying to wing it. Entire seat need to be replaced due this concern and the cost is upward of 2000 dollars and nissan is aware. So it's never about safety is it? (otc scanner only one code) see picture. I believe since its a safety hazard nissan should check this code at their dealership free of charge and repair this issue free of charge. They need to own up to their on going problem up until 2017. |
