Description of the problem | The occupant classification system deactivated the passenger air bag, and activated the warning light, with a 200+ pound person sitting in the passenger seat, centered in the seat and upright, and seatbelt on, for over one hour. Took video showing person in seat @ 55 mph with light on. Dealer and nissan customer service stated they can not reproduce the problem, therefore, there is nothing to fix, even after showing the dealer the video of the defective passenger airbag warning light. Requested corporate technician to examine car, dealer has not provided this service to date (3 weeks later). Due to the random fault, we can not trust the airbag system to work as designed, and as required by the nhtsa rule fmvss208. |
