Description of the problem | 2013 pathfinder; noticed a few days after purchase that the passenger seatbelt light would always stay on. Took it to the dealer and they looked it over for an hour or so and could not figure it out. When i got home, i connected the passenger seatbelt (with an empty seat) and it went out. Took it back and they corrected the problem stating that it was a "loose seatbelt connection" issue. Now i am very concerned that the underlying problem may be a bad airbag sensor and that the mechanic simply may have disconnected or reset the warning light to resolve the problem. I have not yet experienced the other major issues other owners have reported, but i expect these gremlins to start surfacing at any time. I hate to say this, but my wife's built in japan prius is wonderful, anything american assembled or built not so wonderful in my experience. |
