NHTSA Complaint #11281117 — 2010 NISSAN MURANO

2010 NISSAN MURANO, (PURCH 11/30/2009) I HAVE A PASSENGER AIR BAG SAFETY CONCERN! (CASE # 37896824) THE RED AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS FLASHING! (WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS AND WHILE IDLING) & THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT (YELLOW), REMAINS ON - INDICATES FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF! TOOK MURANO TO NISSAN SERVICE CENTER, TECH DID DIAGNOSTIC TEST - GOT A CODE B1018 OCS IS MALFUNCTIONING. TECH CLEARED CODE, TO TURN OFF THE RED FLASHING AIRBAG LIGHT & SAID IF RED LIGHT STARTS FLASHING AGAIN, COME BACK TO SERVICE DEPT. 1ST STEP TO FIX WOULD BE REPLACE FRONT PSSNGR SEAT ACU ASSEMBLY. (VERBALLY WAS TOLD THEY MAY HAVE TO REPLACE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION). RED LIGHT FLASHING AGAIN THE NEXT DAY, DROVE IT FOR 2 WEEKS TO SEE IF THAT WOULD RECALIBRATE RED FLASHING LIGHT, WAS STILL FLASHING AFTER 2 WKS, RETURNED TO NISSAN SERVICE DEPT ON 10/29/19. SAID NEED TO REPLACE THE FRONT PASSENGER CUSHION, (THE OCS FOR AIR BAG IS IN CUSHION) & POSSIBLY AN ACU! I SEE, MURANO HAS HAD SEVERAL PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALLS: THE 2009 MURANO: RECALL # 08V521000 - SAFETY ISSUE - THE OCS CONTROL UNIT LOCATED IN FONT PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION, COULD CAUSE INTERRUPTION OF SIGNAL BETWEEN OCS & ACU - SUPPRESSED AIR BAG COULD FAIL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PROTECTION IN A CRASH. RECALL # 08V066000 - SAFETY ISSUE - DUE TO INCORRECT SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING- THE ACU MAY CAUSE PASSENGER AIR BAG TO NOT OPERATE AS DESIGNED IF BATTERY BECOMES SIGNIFICANTLY DISCHARGED - RESULTING IN PASSENGER AIR BAG NOT TO OPERATE AS DESIGNED. 2013 - 2015 MURANO RECALL - SAFETY ISSUE - FRONT PSSNGR OCS COMPONENT MAY INCORRECTLY CLASSIFY ADULT AS A CHILD OR THAT SEAT IS EMPTY DESPITE OCCUPIED - FRONT PSSNGR AIR BAG MAY BE TURNED OFF & NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH! * I SEE A LOT OF SIMILARITIES IN THE PAST RECALL DESCRIPTIONS WITH WHAT IS OCCURRING TO MY 2010 NISSAN MURANO PASSENGER SEAT. THANK YOU!
