For 3 years we have been dealing with this particular issue, with no resolution. The dashboard light signaling that the passenger air bag is properly activated for an adult occupant comes on or does not come on when it is supposed to. This occurs whether the car is stationary or on the move. The dealer has told us not to put anything on the passenger seat = ridiculous. The dealer then said that it "reprogrammed the…

My wife and i were driving i noticed the passenger airbag light saying "passenger airbag off".. My wife is about 150 lbs and the airbag seat sensor should not have an issue with a person of this weight. I worked on seat sensor design for almost two years and i know that most are programs to not deploy for people under 80lbs. This has happened three times so far (mid jan, end of feb, and early march 2014). I have…

Passenger air bag light stays on while passenger is sitting in the seat. Problem started a couple of weeks after i leased brand new car. The problem is ongoing for over a year now. The fox nissan dealership cannot replicate the problem so nissan will not offer any resolution. I've been trying for a year now and the problem persists, nissan or dealership cannot say if the airbag will work in the case of a crash. I'm…

Passenger air bag off warning light comes on intermittently, even with a person over 100 lbs. In the front passenger seat. This has been an issue since the car was new. I brought the car into the dealer and they "recalibrated" the sensor, but this did not fix the issue. The recent passenger air bag recall did not include my vin, so it appears that nissan has no idea how to fix this. By reading these complaints on…

Purchased as a new vehicle, the heated seats do not, nor ever did work properly. When the temperature control is set to high, only the seat gets hot; and it gets real hot. When the temperature control is set to low, only the seat back gets warm and the seat itself does not heat. I know that nissan is aware of the issue, my dealership's service department has told me as much. It is now over six months and they still…
