2013 Nissan Maxima: airbag warning light

Filed May 11, 2016 · Airbags · 50,000 miles · LA

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).

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.

When I sit in the passenger seat the airbag light is illuminated, about 90% of the time....it may go off at some point, but even with 110 adult it is on so that the airbag is not active.
