1 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/17/2015

My passenger side airbag list has been on for a year now. I am worried that if I have a passenger side they may get hurt because the airbag may not work!! it is highlighted the entire time the engine is running.

2 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/14/2010

New 2011 Nissan Maxima. Passenger side airbags sometimes fail to activate at all or activate only after driving several (12-15) miles with a passenger in the front passenger seat. Situation has occurred routinely since taking delivery of vehicle on 10/14/10. Consequently, front seat passengers are not protected by the airbag system. All passengers have been adults, ranging in size from 95 lbs, 5'2" to 145 lbs, 5'8". Heavier passengers activate the airbags quicker. Selling dealer has examined vehicle and replaced the sear bottom cushion containing the activation device. Old part was retained by dealer. Problem still exists.
