Air Bag Light On problems of the 2013 Nissan Maxima

When an adult is in the front passenger seat, the passenger airbag light will ocasionally light up indicating that the airbag has turned itself off.

Passenger side airbag turns on and off with a passenger (weighing over 120 lbs. ) seated with the seat belt fastened and the vehicle is in motion. The airbag shows off at times when the vehicle is first started if the passenger is already seated with their seatbelt fastened. Even taking the seatbelt off and getting up does not seem to make the light go off. Our Nissan service center explained to me that Nissan north America is aware of this particular problem, but since no resolution/fix has been determined, there is nothing they can do. The service department also verified that if the passenger airbag light is on, the airbag will not work! the service department said that I should not allow anyone in the passenger seat until the problem is fixed. After three separate attempts to get the passenger airbag fixed without success and the problem continuing I submitted the motor vehicle defect notification form to Nissan north America, inc. Consumer affairs department in franklin, TN.

When I sit in the passenger seat the airbag light is illuminated, about 90% of the time. . . . It may go off at some point, but even with 110 adult it is on so that the airbag is not active.

The air bag light on passenger side displays with a person weighing 120 pounds, indicating air bag will not be functional in a crash. Dealer said they haven't been notified of a recall.

Passenger supplemental restraint systems (srs) status light was on while the vehicle was moving at approximately 35 mph with an adult passenger sitting in the seat. The light remained on for approximately 15 minutes. The second (2nd) incident happened on April 2 while the vehicle was moving at approximately 60 mph the srs status light turned on. The light remained on for 30 minutes. The incident was documented with photographs. On April 3, 2014, the vehicle was brought into Nissan of burlingame for service in regards to the passenger srs status light or error to the passenger srs problem. Nissan of burlingame failed to duplicate the problem and returned the car without any service done to the vehicle. The third incident happened on may 18, 2014. While the vehicle was moving at 40 mph the passenger srs (airbag) status light turns on. Again was documented with photographs and was returned to Nissan of burlingame on may 20, 2014 for service in regards to the passenger srs. Nissan of burlingame failed to duplicate the issue and returned the car without any service/repair to the vehicle in regards to the passenger srs indicator light error. Fourth incident occurred on may 22, 2014 at approximately 6:32pm while the vehicle was moving at 30 mph the passenger srs status light turned on. The srs status light remains on for approximately 15 minutes before the indicator light turns off. Again, the incident was documented with photographs. On may 23, 2014, vehicle was brought into Nissan of burlingame for service, but service advisor isaac avila deny to service the vehicle stating that they cannot do anything to the vehicle until further authorization from Nissan corporate USA.
