Description of the problem | Our 2015 pathfinder has an issue where when the passenger seat is occupied with an adult passenger, the passenger side airbag will not activate. (indicator light for pass airbag off is illuminated) sometimes it will activate after several minutes of driving, other times it will not activate until the car is turned off and back on again. Also, sometimes if the seat is not occupied, the passenger side airbag will be activated. We notified the dealership of the issue during a service in late 2015 and we were told that the passenger should wait to enter the vehicle until the vehicle is started. There wasn't any change regardless of how we entered the vehicle. We took the car to the dealership for diagnosis in early 2016 and they didn't find any diagnostic issues. They "reset" the passenger seat weight sensor and said everything was good. Today we drove the vehicle and the passenger side air bag did not activate again with a passenger occupying the seat. This could be a serious safety issue if the air bag does not deploy in an accident. |
