While pushing the auto button to slid the passenger front seat to vacuum the floor carpet the airbag sensor broke off. This made the airbag system to be non operational on the front passerenger seat putting any passenger in danger with no airbags. Poor design of such an important safety system that just sliding the seat would break such an important part!

The air bag light indicating that the passenger air bag is disabled does not go off when someone sits in the passenger seat. This matches NHTSA Campaign Number 15V681000 from October 20, 2015 with the description Air Bag may not Detect Passenger in Seat. However, Nissan says that my VIN is not part of the recall. This makes no sense to me since my vehicle has this issue. I do not know exactly when this started as I don't often carry passengers. The date I put in was around the last time I took this vehicle in for what I believe was to address a recall issue. I'm also concerned that my vehicle could have the issue from April 26, 2016, NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000, Passenger Air Bag may not Deploy due to OCS Error.

Passenger side airbag does not show as engage due to a faulty (OCS) sensor per inspection by Nissan dealership names #1 Cochran. This is a known problem covered under Nissan's recall PC216. This recall was performed on the vehicle in 2017. The sensor is faulty again. The fix that Nissan proposed is not a long term correction of the problem. Obviously, if the vehicle is involved in an accident with my wife in the passenger seat the airbag would not work due to a faulty sensor that registers no one being present in the passenger seat.

I recently purchased a 2013 Pathfinder with 71,000 miles. My 2013 Pathfinder has a faulty OCS. The RED AIRBAG light is illuminated on the dashboard that will not go off. It also has the PASSENGER AIRBAG light illuminated whether a person is sitting in the passenger seat or not. This light does not go off when an adult is sitting in the seat. There is a recall on 2013 Pathfinders for this problem but my VIN is not showing a recall for this problem even though it has the same issue.

The light indicating the passenger airbag was disabled came on one day and never went off, indicating the passenger airbag was never enabled, even if an adult was sitting in the front passenger seat. First time to the dealership for this issue, they "cleared the codes" and told me to come back if it happened again. It happened again immediately upon starting the vehicle to depart from the dealership. Second visit to the dealership had me replace the airbag control module/diagnosis unit (to the tune of over $1,100 total parts/labor/tax) because the light would not go off even when reset, and it was not "throwing any codes." I was told something else could still be wrong, but with this unit replaced, it would provide the "codes" for whatever else may require repair. However, once this part was replaced, the problem persisted. Dealership then said the "next step" is to replace 2 airbag sensors and another related unit (another ~$600). If the light is still on after that, they just keep going down the list of airbag system parts to replace until they finally fix the issue. Basically, no one knows what's really wrong, so we'll just keep replacing parts that probably don't actually need to be replaced until we finally reach the one that does. Apparently, this is how Nissan repairs their airbag systems (which a quick online search indicates they have plenty of issues with). The airbag diagnosis unit clearly doesn't actually "diagnose" anything. Meanwhile, I am at their mercy because an airbag issue is cause for state inspection failure and is obviously a major safety concern.

Through internet search some 2013-2017 Nissan Pathfinders passenger airbags have a recall issued. After contacting Nissan motor Corp. It was explained recalls are VIN specific. I requested an explanation of the process Nissan uses to determine what VIN apply, what department would be able to explain, why would the dealer need to answer the why and how's Nissan determines what VIN apply. The Nissan rep in short explained, he didn't have any answers. The dealer that sold me the vehicle has exceptional service. This matter should in no way reflect on the dealer. Nissan as a three step repair plan for the passenger side airbag if the VIN wasn't listed on the recall. It is my understanding the repair can cost up to $2500-$3000. It appears the airbag issue must have been missed on my VIN. Based on Nissan passenger side airbag repair bulletin it can take up to 3 trips with the cost increasing each time. In my opinion, if some 2013-2017 Pathfinder passenger airbags are recalled there must be an issue. With that said, anyone who's VIN wasn't originally listed should be able to have the passenger side airbag repaired under the recall.

The airbag system is not functioning properly. The SRS light is flashing on the dash. The air bag light will not detect a passenger weighing over 150 lbs. The problem was addressed with a recall. In may of 2018, the problem was temporarily fixed by replacing the acu diag unit, the air bag press detection module assembly, the occupant sensor, and the air bag pressure detection sensor. The problem is occurring again just over a year later. This problems occurs in all driving conditions at all times. The flashing light suppresses the air bag system meaning an air bag will not work as it should during an accident. This leaves my family and I at risk of injury or death if an accident was to occur. The reoccurrence of the problem took place on August 13, 2009. The original problem was addressed on may, 9, 2018.

I bought a brand new 2013 Nissan Pathfinder in March of 2013. Within 6 months I noticed there was jerking with the transmission. I took it back to preston Nissan in Maryland and was told they had received a bulletin and the transmission needed to be reprogrammed. They reprogrammed the transmission and it helped a little but a few months later it was doing the same thing. I took it back to preston Nissan. There I was told that they could not duplicate the problem and that they would reprogram it again. It did not help. I could not afford to keep taking it back, because they charge me every time to keep telling me there was nothing wrong. My car began to not accelerate when I was making a turn or when I was accelerating in traffic. We took it back to preston and we were told that they had put a device in to monitor the transmission as well as reprogrammed it again. My car continued to judder and shake and fail to accelerate. There was a class action lawsuit filed and Nissan extended the warranties to 84,000 miles. My car is now at 87,000 and a Nissan dealership in Michigan is now stating that it needs a new transmission and a cooling fan. Nissan corporate office is now telling me that they will pay 90% of the fan and only 50% of the transmission. I bought the extended warranty when I purchased the car. The transmission is not the only thing wrong with this car. It has been one thing after the other. Door lock motor, visor, hood release, trunk latch, brake lights remain on when car is off, airbag indicator...the list goes on and on.
