Description of the problem | Since the day we bought this brand new 2013 nissan pathfinder vehicle the orange passenger side airbag light stays illuminated almost all of the time while passenger is in the front seat. We have taken the vehicle to cherry hill nissan dealership at least 4 times complaining about the passenger airbag light being on even with an adult passenger sitting in the front seat. (and then with no one sitting in the seat - sometimes the light is on, sometimes it is off) all those times i got an explanation that it is just a software glinch and they try some fix that does not work. They updated the computer software but to date almost every single time there is a passenger in the seat the airbag light will come on. I'm just worried that if the vehicle will get in an accident and someone is sitting in the front, that someone is not protected from the impact. I have called nissan consumer affairs who told me not to let anyone sit in front seat - that's not a very good solution and for the cost of the vehicle i should be able to allow people to sit in my front seat especially when due to the # of people i need to use the front seat. |
