Passenger airbag warning light illuminates sporadically while driving with a passenger in the front seat. Vehicle has 7000 miles and I traded in an identical vehicle 2009 with 25,000 miles that was doing the exact same thing. Dealer could find nothing wrong, but agreed that if the light is on, the airbag would not deploy in an accident. He stated that possibly "the leather on the seat has to age to give it more flexibility". my wife is 140 pounds and 68" tall. I believe that should keep the airbag system active. A google search revealed that this is a common problem.
I was involved -- in front end car accident with my 2010 Nissan Maxima. The accident resulted in a severe damage to the front end of my car all the way to the car's engine. I was surprised that the driver's air bag did not activate under the impact. I towed my car to the Nissan dealer and I spoke with their shop mechanics, he was also surprise that the airbag did not activate and he suggested the airbag frontal sensors might be defected. He referred me to Nissan manufacture department. After contacting them, a representative emailed me an air bag manual. I'm really worried about the safety of my family and myself driving a defected car. I would appreciate it if you advise me to what to do. Thank you
