Air Bag Light On problems of the 2009 Nissan Pathfinder

The airbag light is flashing. We line in nm so we're not part of the recall but we drive frequently on snowy salty mountain roads so we might be affected by the same issue.

While sitting in the driveway I was about to start my vehicle when my daughter move the passenger seat and the airbags indicator light came on, I had just had the tension belts replace by the dealership, to correct this problem before hoping to avoid having to replace the seat pressure plate. Not sure why all this is happening but I hope this will help future owner to avoid this problem.

I struck a deer while driving my 2009 Nissan Pathfinder. There was damage to the left front bumper and slight damage to the left front fender. Although it was not a high impact collision with the deer, the wiring from the bumper to the airbag was cut in two. The airbag light flashed on the dashboard, but the airbag did not activate. The body shop has been unable to repair the wiring harness because none are available. If a slight accident managed to sever the wires then what would happen in a high impact crash when the wires are severed. No airbag. Nissan needs to correct this defect immediately and they need to have parts on hand due to the shoddy workmanship and design of the wiring harness.
