The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. While driving approximately 40 mph, the passenger side air bag indicator remained illuminated while a passenger was occupying the seat. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that there was no failure due to the occupant not meeting the weight threshold. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN and failure mileage were not available.
The passenger "air bag light" does not go out when I have an adult passenger in the car. This has been a continuous problem since I purchased the car Nissan dealership says there is no problem indicated when tested. Nissan regional office says they are checking into it at this time and will not authorize any repairs, and if I continue to have a problem, go to the dealership meanwhile the "passenger air bag light" remains on when I have a passenger in the seat. I can not get any proper response from Nissan.
The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. The contact received a recall notification for the air bags. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for repairs, but the air bag indicator illuminated again. The vehicle was taken to a dealer at least three times due to the failure. The failure mileage and NHTSA campaign number were unknown.
The front passenger airbag light comes on while the vehicle is moving and while there is an adult in the seat. The dealership checked the system and stated there were no problems detected. The system has continued to malfunction. The concern is the bags won't deploy when needed.
Front passenger air bag light on dash remains on, in the "off" lit position even with a passenger riding in the front passenger seat. The problem comes and goes intermittently. Sometimes it is on and sometimes it is off no matter if you are on a city street or going 60 mph down a highway.
Since original purchase (new) 11/30/14, the passenger airbag indicator system has not worked correctly. 3 complaints ( on site, in writing) thru Nissan dealer have not corrected problem. Question is, will passenger side airbag work if in a collision? malfunction may result in major injury or death. Dealers only explanation is to wait 15 seconds before driving with a passenger. Indicator system works and fails indiscriminately.
Ocs seat system same problem over and over passenger seat occupied indicator light still on.
Takata recall - is this vehicle subject to recall? also, the passenger side airbags will only deploy when the passenger weighs over ~110 lbs. My wife is 5'2" & weighs 106 lbs. Which is the proper weight for someone her size. When she sits in the seat the airbag light remains on, telling us she is not protected by airbags. If 40,000+ people lives have been saved by airbags, why does the industry allow lighter weight passengers to not be protected? is this a recall issue?.
