1 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 08/06/2019

Recall 16v244000 Nissan Pathfinder was recalled to fix passenger airbag sensor. Within 2 months after repair problem began again intermittantly. Approx 30% of starts showed pass airbag off in spite of passenger in place. This would correct by restarting vehicle. This was reported to dealer at every 5000 mile service and had adjustments made a few times. Airbag sensor would be fine for a few weeks, then start acting up again. The last dealer visit (55000 miles) no problem was found. This now happens on 75 % of vehicle starts, and simply restarting is not always effective. Repeated restarts (3-4) usually corrects problem, or at least turns off the "airbag disabled" light although we sometime need to take short trip without airbag protection for my wife. I think another recall is in order for this vehicle.
