My nissan maximum air bag on the passage side goes off while driving. I reported it to my dealer and nissan corporate office. I was asked if I had something in the seat that weighted 20 pounds. I weight 142 and the air bag light comes on and stay on for sometime 20 miles driving up to 60-70 miles per hour. I fell so unsafe. I bought this car dec. Of 2010 and it has a little over 21000 miles on it. I have been driving nissan for over fourth years. I have been very disappointed in nissan responses. They referred me to there bbb inc.. It was not a good result.

We purchased a 2011 nissan maxima in november 2011 and have a problem with the airbag light on the passenger side staying on while I am sitting in the seat. I weigh 115 lbs and am 5'1. I got no help from the nissan dealership. I took my vehicle in several times and was told nothing was wrong with it. I talked with the service manager today and she told me that because of my size the air bag would do more harm than good so don't worry about it. I was unhappy with that answer and she told me she has done all she could do, that I was welcome to call nissan and discuss the problem with them. I called 1-800-nissan1 and spoke with a representative that was helpful. He said the weight limit was 100lbs and I shouldn't be having this problem. He opened a case and said the service manager in our town would receive a phone call and also gave me a case number. I am hopeful that we can get this issue resolved.
