Took car to dealer as passenger side airbag warning light comes on sometimes when my wife is in passenger seat, dealer said no outstanding recall & no codes showed on their inspection. Said passenger must weigh at least 120 lbs which my wife does. This is a critical safety issue. Never had a problem in any other owned cars. I am sure there are many small women who weigh less than 120 lbs in this country. This needs to be fixed otherwise Nissan could be subject to a major lawsuit if serious injury or death as result of airbag not inflating.
