Consumer Description

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE LIGHT INDICATES THAT THE AIRBAG IS OFF. THE DEALER HAS RESET THE SEAT TWO TIME AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT SOLVED. I CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT OTHERS HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAS INDICATED THAT NISSAN HAS PUT A HOLD ON PARTS FOR THAT SEAT. THEY OBVIOUSLY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM. I AM SERIOUSLY CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT CAN BE AT RISK IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. IF NISSAN WON'T TELL THEIR OWN DEALERS WHAT IS GOING ON THAT IS A PROBLEM. *TR
