Air Bag Not Deploy Problems of Nissan Leaf

My Nissan Leaf was experiencing a seat belt not buckled and it would light up when no one was sitting in the seat. I have taken it to the dealer three times to have it fixed. The first two times they reset the sensor and it would stay fixed for 2 months. I just took it back the 3rd time. The dealer said the airbag would not deploy in an accident. Since it was a safety issue not covered under warranty, I chose for them to fix my vehicle. The OCS sensor and control module was faulty. It cost me $652. 56 to repair it. I thought it would be covered under warranty since this was a safety issue. I want to report this issue to you since it was a safety issue. I do not want anyone dying in a car accident due to the airbag not deploying.

1. Passenger air bag light is on continuously when car is on, stationary or moving, regardless of front passenger seat occupancy. 2. Airbag system light blinks continuously when car is on, stationary or moving, regardless of passenger seat occupancy. The local Nissan dealership has worked on the problem four times over two plus years, ultimately unsuccessful for more than a few weeks. Dealership now refuses to fix the problem citing Nissan corp. Reluctance to pay for repair under original warranty, which has expired. Dealership claims passenger seat replacement is necessary at a cost to us of perhaps $2000. We don't know whether the passenger airbag will not deploy when it shouldn't, or will deploy when it should.

After receiving a recall notice, I made an appointment at nalley Nissan of chamblee, GA to have the occupant classification system (recall 16v-244) recall repair made in my Leaf. I made the appointment for July 28, 2016, after being told the part for the repair would be available for me then. On July 28, 2016, I picked up my car from the dealership, and was told that the recall service had been successfully performed. However, 2 indicator lights on the dash board related to the airbag problem were still flashing. On July 29, 2016, I called nalley Nissan to complain that the lights were still flashing and to ask why I was assured the recall service had been performed, if it had not; I was assured that someone would call me back to explain or schedule supplemental service of my car. However, no one ever called back. Subsequently, I received a survey by email asking about my service experience, which I completed with negative feedback. During the week of August 1, a woman called in response to my survey and made an appointment for me to drop off the car for the airbag recall service today, August 11. After dropping off my car today, I was informed by the service department that they once again do not have the parts. I was also told that on 7/28, they performed a different recall service, not the airbag. I have been told repeatedly that the airbag fault is "not a safety issue. " I have asked for information about what the fault does (does the airbag always inflate? never? which one?), but received only contradictory information. I have two children, aged 10 and 12, who weigh under 100 lbs. If the airbag always deploys, I would put an adult in front. If the airbag never deploys, I would put a child in front if needed and scoot the seat all the way back. I feel that Nissan is not making repair parts and information available to me and that it is a big safety issue.

There is an air bag light that illuminates when there is weight on the passenger seat but the air bag will not be deployed, maybe because the vehicle thinks there is a dog, small child, or inanimate object sitting in the seat. The trouble is that the "air bag disabled light" occasionally turns on when my teenage sons sit in the passenger seat. The dealer says it is because my sons do not always sit squarely to the back of the seat; that is, they occasionally slouch in the seat. I have videos of this behavior which I can send to you, so you can determine it is is something you would like to look into. Nissan's response is akin to steve jobs saying of the iphone 4, "you're holding it wrong. " I think Nissan should build their sensors for the way people sometimes sit in their seats, not as the way they would like them to sit under idea circumstances. They probably have one sensor at the back of the seat, when they actually need another in the middle and maybe one at the front to better judge the weight of the object in the seat.
