We purchased our 2016 nissan frontier in october 2016. Unfortunately we have been involved in three major car accidents and two out of the three times the air bags did not deploy. Every accident we were involved in cost over $10,000 to repair our vehicle so we know that the front end damage was very severe. We would like our vehicle inspected for any air bag mail function the last accident we were involved in we hit very hard and the air bags didn't deploy I hit the steering wheel pretty hard.

The first time my wife was riding in the front passenger seat at night, she noted that the "air bag off" light was illuminated. It is very difficult to see this light during the day. My wife weights 117 lbs and is 5'6" tall. She is not a small adult. We were on a trip, but we took the truck to the nearest nissan dealer (not the dealer who sold me the truck). The dealer put a man weighing about 50 lbs more than my wife in the seat, and the "airbag off" light stayed off. When I got home from the trip, I took the truck to my original dealer. Two representatives from the dealer went on a 10 minute drive with my wife in the front passenger seat. The light stayed on for the entire test drive, meaning that the airbag would not deploy in a frontal collision. This is documented on the invoice I received from the dealer. In 2016, the federal safety agency required a recall (16v244000) of 3.53 million nissan and infinity cars for exactly this problem. The federal safety agency notes that "the front seat passenger occupant classification system may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied." for some reason, the frontier model was not included in the recall. I have informed nissan consumer affairs. They have not offered any help. This serious safety problem may cause unnecessary injury or death if an airbag does not properly deploy with a normal adult in the passenger seat. The frontier should be included in the recall and the problem should be corrected.

The issue with my nissan frontier is that the passenger airbag light illuminates randomly while driving (indicating that there is not someone sitting in the seat and the airbag would not go off) while there have been full-grown adults sitting properly in the seat. . I was sent to a dealer, where I was charged for them to look into this and I was told there was not anything they could do because they could not replicate the issue. I tried to explain it randomly happens and that is does not happen every time, however I was told they could not do anything else for me. I have tried to reach your company multiple times and have been ignored. This is a serious safety concern. I have videos of this issue and no one will help me.
