This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The front passenger air bag indicator light lights up on car start indicating airbag is switched off despite the fact there is an adult passenger occupying the seat. Happens intermittently, passenger range from son, wife, friends, weighing from 120 to 290 pounds with height of 5.1 to 5.9 feet. The problem is bypassed or re-mediated by forcing the driver to stop pullover and then stop and start the car to activate the airbag on the passenger side. If the car is in the garage it is easy to stop and start (the engine) to get rid of this issue but when I am picking up someone from school or office it is a hassle and a danger as the bag is not activated unless it is observed and remediation process done (stop and start the car engine). The issue does not happen when the car is in motion. It only takes place when we offload or get someone in the passenger seat (front) in stationary, park or with brakes on and in drive gear on-boarding a passenger, . on going issue since past 8 months.
Airbag indicator light/front passengers seat comes on indicating it's not activated with a passenger in the seat while the car is in motion. Dealers says it is due to Nissan's new design and to have the passenger (my wife) sit with her butt against the back of the seat, legs straight out in front of her with feet on the floor. That's the fix ? well, it doesn't work. Nissan needs to make this right or buy the car back due to faulty equipment. This is a safety issue with lives in jeopardy.
The inactive passenger's airbag which indicates that the passenger airbag is disabled stays illuminated even when an adult sits in the seat. This is intermittent. Sometimes restarting the car will no other changes will fix the issue (the light stops being illuminated). I have no idea whether this relates to the airbag itself, the sensor, or the light.
