Passenger side airbag stops detecting adult passenger, was recalled by Nissan in 2016 and system was reprogramed, it's now may 2017 and the problem has started again. Will need to contact Nissan for repairs. Also when driving there is an extreme glare from the back side of the hood which blinds and disorients when driving towards the sun, nearly wreaked car because I could not see for a few seconds. This happens all year when sun shines.
We have repeatedly complined to our dealer regarding the passenger side air bag not activating with a passenger in the seat. It does not occur all of the time, and will usually engage within 5 miles of driving. I just had the dealer look at it again and requested that the sensor be replaced. They can't recreate our issue after having the car for 4 days, so they replaced nothing and gave me the car back. I am completely frustrated at their lack of concern over what I consider to be a safety failure. We have had the issue since we bought the car in April 2016.
Had a recall on passenger side airbag. The light stays on when a passenger is present. We took it in to have it fixed according to the recall . It worked for a while and started doing the same issues. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Again we asked them to take a look at it . What they told us to wiggle around on the seat, which is stupid. It's still not fixed. This is a safety issue and we want it fix. Not happy about this. Is it a software problem?.
Passenger side airbag stays off ,regardless if someone is seating on passenger side. Sometimes it stays off for 10, 15, or 30 minutes, as if the sensor doesn't seem to activate. At first we thought it was just us doing something wrong ,cause it doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes it works and then some days it doesn't. It happens when driving or first starting the vehicle. We called where we bought the car and told us our car was not included in the recall, but they will look into it,since we just purchased this car in October 2015.
