Description of the problem | Purchased a new 2013 pathfinder and the 1st trip we took with a passenger in the front seat we noticed the airbag light was on indicating it was not activated. I thought that was weird, but didn't think much of it. Few weeks went by and issue was still occurring so i took it to the dealer and they did a reset of the seat sensor and it seemed to be working properly for approx 2 weeks. Issue happened again, dealer reset and it appeared to worked ok for a few days. Dealer was now told the seat base needs to be replaced but there is a national back order on the part due to this issue. Needless to say i will not allow anybody to ride as a passenger in the front until this is resolved. I am not happy about this serious safety issue at all. |
