I recently purchased a 2013 Pathfinder with 71,000 miles. My 2013 Pathfinder has a faulty OCS. The RED AIRBAG light is illuminated on the dashboard that will not go off. It also has the PASSENGER AIRBAG light illuminated whether a person is sitting in the passenger seat or not. This light does not go off when an adult is sitting in the seat. There is a recall on 2013 Pathfinders for this problem but my VIN is not showing a recall for this problem even though it has the same issue.

My air bag light for passenger 2 and the red flashing air bag light stays on. No matter if a person is in or out the seat. Even a 125 pound person.
I have a recurring problem with the front passenger seat airbag sensor light staying on when someone is in the seat. I have taken the car to the dealer five times since I have owned it. Even after the mandatory recalls the problem sporadically still exists. Sometimes the light stays on briefly and other times it stays on up to thirty minutes. I never get a good explanation by the service department other than we checked or adjusted the sensor. After three years I think it is time nissan steps up and fixes the problem properly. It appears the dealerships cannot do anything without the cooperation of nissan corporate or government action. It does no good complaining to the service personnel. I feel this is a safety issue that needs to be addressed again.
2013 nissan pathfinder: the pabi light stays on while a passenger is sitting in the front passenger seat. The light stays on as the individual sits' in the correct position as the owner manual's states. The light also stays on while no one is sitting in the front passenger seat. The vehicle was purchased on february 18, 2013 (new). The vehicle has been in 7 times for the same repair. The have replaced the sensors, the seat and the problems still occurs.
My vehicle has persistent squeak coming from second row seat. I took it to the dealer, they acknowledge the issue and fixed it. The fix lasted only for 2 days. Annoying squeak is back again. I went back to the olympia wa nissan dealer 3 times about the squeak issue. Finally they replace the plastic molding below the seat, it lasted for 1 day. Now the squeak problem is back again. The vehicle is only 2 months old has only 3500 miles. Not sure what do now ?
I have been having ongoing issues with my pathfinder since purchase with the passenger airbag not functioning properly. Initially it would not detect anybody was in the passenger seat and the dealer try to reset the sensor several times with no success. Now all airbag warning lights are on and per the owners manual the vehicle should not be driven. I was told in jan parts were ordered to fix this issue and they are still not in. Needless to say I am very very upset and will be looking into legal actions.

Since we took possession of the vehicle, the passenger airbag light would be illuminated when various adult size people will be sitting in the front passenger seat. The weights of the adults sitting in the front passenger seat would vary from 110 and up to 139 and still the light would stay on, indicating that the airbag is off\disabled. We even tried having a salesperson (unknown weight) sit in the car and still the light would stay on.
