Description of the problem | The front passenger side airbag indicator light came on indicating that the front passenger airbag was off. My wife was sitting in the front passenger side seat at the time. She had her seat belt on. I was driving down the road at 70 mph on a highway at the time. I have this on video that shows that this lasted for approximately 12 minutes before the light went off and the airbag system indicated that the airbag would deploy in the event of an emergency. This is 12 minutes where my wife was not protected by an airbag system. The video that i have is from and iphone and is not in a supported file format for uploading. I would be happy to send it to you another way. I contacted the nhtsa about 8 months ago about this issue and have not heard anything. I contacted nisan at the same time and they indicated that without any error codes, there is no proof that this is an issue or is really happening. I have documented video evidence that this in fact did occur. This is a safety issue in which no one seams to care about. You would think that with all of the recent troubles with airbags, someone would take some interest in looking into the root cause of the issue. I am asking the nhtsa to please assist me in getting this safety issue resolved. I contacted nisan again and they have not returned my call. |
