This vehicle was part of a safety recall by Nissan for the front passenger airbag or OCS not correctly identifying the occupant. In June 2014 I took my vehicle to stateline Nissan, kansas city, mo and they completed the recall activity, however, within the next few weeks, I noted that the warning light on the front passenger airbag system was staying activated when an adult was sitting in the seat. I took the vehicle back to stateline Nissan in oct 2014 and after running the diagnostics, they stated they found nothing wrong. They advised to make sure the front adult passenger was sitting straight and not leaning off center. I have since noted the warning light will periodically stay on when either an adult is in the seat, or even when no one is seated. I again called stateline Nissan on 3/23/15 after reading an article concerning continued issues with the OCS still malfunctioning and the NHTSA receiving complaint. I was told there was nothing they could do as this was no longer an authorized activity from Nissan, but to bring in the vehicle when the warning light came on. Please include this complaint with the others.

I just filed a complaint last week regarding my air bag on my 2 month old Pathfinder and this week I had trouble with my transmission. Approximately one month ago when I was accelerating onto the highway my car seemed to get stuck in second gear and would not go above 30 mph. The rpms were going up to 7000 without any additional power. This only lasted for about 10 seconds. The dealer checked out the car and said that nothing was wrong with it and that it may have been a communication problem with the transmission. It happened again this week, again trying to merge onto a highway. The speed limit on the highway was 55 and my Pathfinder would not accelerate past 30-35 miles per hour for 1/4 to 1/2 mile. It is quite disconcerting when a tractor trailer rides up on your bumper going at least 55 miles an hour and you have no power to accelerate to get out of the way. Once again, no warning lights came on the dash so I am sure that when I take it back to the dealer next week they are going to once again tell me that nothing is wrong with the vehicle. Obviously this is a safety concern when the transmission can just stop responding like that. I don't know how Nissan can use the excuse "because it didn't trigger a internal warning with the computer, nothing is wrong. " clearly something is wrong and since Nissan really needs to address this issue.

My Pathfinder has a build date of Nov. 2012. Two times now the passenger seat sensor has failed to recognize that an adult is occupying the seat. It can be reset by stopping the car, turning it off getting out of the car, and reentering and start back up. It then works as normal. The dealer tells me it is not one of the ones that has this problem and he will only be able to repair when he can witness it. I showed him a picture with the air bag warning light on and the seat occupied at 70 mph. I noticed it after exiting a rest stop on I-10 and drove to the next rest stop before stopping to reset. Changing seating position while driving had no effect at all.

Purchased a new 2013 Nissan Pathfinder and immediately on the drive home noticed an issue with the passenger side airbag. 1) the passenger side airbag "off" light stays lit when an individual is in the passenger side for the duration of the ride. 2) the supplemental airbag warning light on dashboard stays flashing for the duration of the ride. Took to the dealership in north haven, CT where we purchased. Their diagnosis was that we did not enter the car properly. We needed to both enter the car, fasten our seatbelts, then turn on the car for the passenger side airbag to be functional. Entering the vehicle as advised by the service technician did in fact allow the passenger airbag "off" light to be turned off and the flashing warning on the dashboard to disappear. I view this as a huge safety issue. The purpose of the passenger airbag sensor is for it to be operational when weight is applied to the passenger seat not for it to function only when you fasten your seatbelt before starting the vehicle. I said to the service manager “so you are saying that the passenger airbag will not operate if anyone enters the passenger side while the car is running? what are mothers supposed to do when they pick up their child in an idling vehicle?” his response was “I guess they will need to pull over to the side of the road, turn the car off, then turn it back on for the airbag to function. ” the recall on the early 2013 models of the Pathfinder should be expanded. This issue needs to be addressed.

The occupant classification system deactivated the passenger air bag, and activated the warning light, with a 200+ pound person sitting in the passenger seat, centered in the seat and upright, and seatbelt on, for over one hour. Took video showing person in seat @ 55 mph with light on. Dealer and Nissan customer service stated they can not reproduce the problem, therefore, there is nothing to fix, even after showing the dealer the video of the defective passenger airbag warning light. Requested corporate technician to examine car, dealer has not provided this service to date (3 weeks later). Due to the random fault, we can not trust the airbag system to work as designed, and as required by the NHTSA rule fmvss208.

Intermittently when my wife, who weighs 110 lbs. Sits in the front passenger seat, the passenger air bag warning light will not go off. I have to stop the car, shut it off and restart it one or two times. I have had it back to the Nissan service center, they check everything out and tell me it's working as designed. It has been recalled for sensor replacement. The last time I was there they said they could reset the computer to 0 tolerance. Not sure what that does to the safety of the vehicle. They have told my wife to sit all the way to the left and also in the center of the seat. Which doesn't seem to make any difference. The latest incident was 04/06/15.

I have been having ongoing issues with my Pathfinder since purchase with the passenger airbag not functioning properly. Initially it would not detect anybody was in the passenger seat and the dealer try to reset the sensor several times with no success. Now all airbag warning lights are on and per the owners manual the vehicle should not be driven. I was told in Jan parts were ordered to fix this issue and they are still not in. Needless to say I am very very upset and will be looking into legal actions.

At times the passenger air bag status light stays on, indicating the air bag is turned off even though an adult is sitting in the seat, this continues after 2 years and many trips to the dealer for zero the system (2 times), replace sensors, torque sensors, replace controller, update software (2x) and a phone complaint to Nissan. This happens when I start car when wife is getting in the car. While it is understandable a false reading will occur since weight is changing as it is sampled, my issue is that the fault does not clear for 25 to 30 minutes before the proper weight is sensed. . When we notice the warning light I stop and turn the car off and then back on "fixing" the issue. But the warning light is hard to see if sun is shining on the dash board and at times we have already entered a freeway with no good place to pull over.

I purchased my brand new 2103 Nissan Pathfinder December of 2012. I noticed within the first couple weeks that the seat belt warning light on the dash would not go out if I was the only person in the vehicle and I was bucked up. So I took it in to service in early January to deal with a defect in the leather and they said that nothing was wrong with the light and that was how it was supposed to work. So everything was fine for another month when the car started blowing smoke. So I took it in for service again and this time a different dealer recognized that that wasn't how the car should be working so he said they would take care of the seat belt warning light. So a couple days later after parts were sent overnight they called and said that my vehicle was ready for pickup. I picked the Pathfinder up and sure enough the seat belt light went off when I got in but now I had an airbag failure light on the dash. Since it was the end of the day they asked me to bring it back in the next day. So after another visit to Nissan they had to call the tech line because they couldn't figure out how to fix the passenger airbag. Long story short they sent me away with my broken Pathfinder because apparently other people have had this issue and the tech line at Nissan hasn't figured out a remedy for the problem. This was unacceptable so I took my vehicle and I called consumer affairs to let them know what happened. The agreed that this was a major safety issue but now months later and I can't even get a call back from their consumer affairs. This vehicle is not safe and until Nissan can work out all of the "buggs" everyone should stay away from this vehicle.

Almost immediately after taking delivery on my new 2013 Pathfinder I noticed the srs system warning light would remain on, unless both front and passenger seat belts were engaged. Additionally, the passenger airbag warning indicator behaves erratically, often failing to shut-off within 7 seconds of vehicle start, and remaining on, even with an adult in the passenger seat. I have thus-far made 3 trips to my servicing dealer, who has been unable to resolve the airbag system issue. On my second service visit, the dealer service advisor mentioned that Nissan tech support had advised him that the ods sensor in the passenger seat may not have been calibrated correctly, at the factory.

When my wife who is 5"4' and weighs 110 lbs is in the front passenger seat, the passenger air bag warning light comes on indicating that the air bag is off and will will not deploy in an accident. This occurs intermittently. I have taken the car to the dealer three times and they tell me everything is in spec. Nissan also told me that it is in spec and they cannot fix the problem. They tell me that the sensors in the seat are to the extreme left and my wife will have to sit to the left and erect.
