No 'takata recall' at this moment but I was injured because airbag failed in my chest

When an adult sits in the passenger seat (some over 200lbs) the "airbag off" light remains on. This is from starting the car, driving, until the end of the trip.

When transporting some adult passengers in the front passenger seat, the "passenger airbag off" light remains on throughout the trip. This would seem to me to indicate that in the event of a front-end collision, the airbag would fail to deploy because it is off. I brought my car in to the dealer, who was unable to replicate the situation. No problem could be found. I remain concerned because the light still remains on with adult passengers weighing between 110 and 155 pounds. This issue was observed when the car was stopped and while it was moving. This has been an ongoing issue since I purchased the vehicle new in 2013.

When transporting some adult passengers in the front passenger seat, the "passenger airbag off" light remains on throughout the trip. This would seem to me to indicate that in the event of a front-end collision, the airbag would fail to deploy because it is off. I brought my car in to the dealer, who was unable to replicate the situation (perhaps because the mechanics weigh more than my wife); no problem could be found. I remain concerned because the light still remains on with other light adult passengers.

Passenger side airbag light comes on (which means the airbag will not deploy) when my son (over 120 lbs) sits in passenger seat. When no one is in the seat or just my purse the light stays off (meaning it would deploy).

I have the same symptoms with my airbag that the 2016-2017 nissan maxima has. The passenger side airbag will always turn off when my wife sits in the passenger seat.

Passenger side airbag turns on and off with a passenger (weighing over 120 lbs.) seated with the seat belt fastened and the vehicle is in motion. The airbag shows off at times when the vehicle is first started if the passenger is already seated with their seatbelt fastened. Even taking the seatbelt off and getting up does not seem to make the light go off. Our nissan service center explained to me that nissan north america is aware of this particular problem, but since no resolution/fix has been determined, there is nothing they can do. The service department also verified that if the passenger airbag light is on, the airbag will not work! The service department said that I should not allow anyone in the passenger seat until the problem is fixed. After three separate attempts to get the passenger airbag fixed without success and the problem continuing I submitted the motor vehicle defect notification form to nissan north america, inc. Consumer affairs department in franklin, tn.

My air bag signal always shows that its not on. So it worries me because I noticed that if you weigh more than 120 it will pop up which makes me feel unsafe. The car is new and it shouldn't happen.

Passenger side airbag off warning light turns on during drive while ~120lbs adult is sitting in the passenger seat. Sometimes turning off the engine and restarting fixes the issues. Other times requesting the passenger to get up and sit down fast fixes the issue temporarily. Problems reproduced many times. Please investigate.

While driving with an adult over 120lbs in the front passenger seat, airbag sensor would intermittently go off--signaling the airbag had been disabled (as if a child was in the seat). This occurred several times during a drive, and did not seem to correct itself.
