 Description of the problemThe air bag light issue on the nissan pathfinder continues to be an issue for me. I have brought the car in to the service center in excess of 5 times over the course that i have had the car (purchased in october 2013) for the air bag light issue. When a passenger sits in the seat, the air bag off light may stay on during the course of the drive, indicating that the air bag is turned off. This does not happen every time a passenger is in the seat and only at random times. The service center has updated the system programming in accordance with the nissan pathfinder recall against the airbag issue. The service center has also replaced the air bag sensor. Over the course of time, none of these "fixes" have resolved the issue. I have come to find that it may be a programming issue with the air bag -- if a passenger is not fully seated and still at the moment the car is turned on, the sensor will not properly register the passenger weight. Typically, when the weight is undetermined or cannot be immediately read, the car will keep the air bag off light on assuming that it falls outside of the "adult weight" category. The light will remain on for at least another 10 minutes of driving when it finally re-registers the passenger weight. These types of situations can be characterized in multiple ways -- car turns on and passenger is still getting in seat; passenger sits down as the car is turning on; passenger is fully seated but slightly moves during the weight registration; etc. Regardless of the situation, when this happens, the driver can drive for a number of miles with no air bag until the sensor re-registers the passenger weight and realize an adult is in the seat. Nissan's programming of the air-bag sensor is not within the federal motor vehicle safety standards for air bag safety. I request that the nhtsa please review nissan's air bag programming and validate safety.
