2013 Nissan Pathfinder Air Bags

NHTSA RECALL 16V244 I KEEP RECEIVING NOTICES ABOUT THE RECALL, BUT MY DEALERSHIP (MOSSY NISSAN, 14100 POWAY ROAD, POWAY, CA.) STILL DOESN'T HAVE PART NEEDED TO DO THE JOB. PLEASE EXPEDITE PART AND HELP ME GET THIS JOB COMPLETED!!!!!!

I JUST PURCHASED MY VEHICLE LAST WEEK. WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON AND EVEN WHEN SOMEONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS STILL ON STATING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS TURNED OFF. I WAS ADVISED THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS SITUATION SEEMS SIMILAR TO A COUPLE OTHER RECALLS ON THE 2013 PATHFINDERS. I'M UNSURE IF THE REPAIRS WERE DONE BEFORE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BUT IF THEY WERE THE ISSUE STILL REMAINS. SINCE THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS FROM MY VEHICLE. EITHER MY VEHICLE WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS OR THE REPAIRS WERE ATTEMPTED BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINS. I JUST WANT THE VEHICLE TO BE SAFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY.

AIRBAG SENSOR RECALL - PART WAS ORDERED JULY 7, 2016. AT TIME SENSORS APPEARED TO BE WORKING. AS OF AUGUST 16TH, SENSORS NO LONGER SENSING WEIGHT IN PASSENGER SEAT, NO LONGER WORKING. NISSAN REFUSING TO PROVIDE EQUIVALENT LONG TERM LOANER AND DEALERSHIP (LUTHER NISSAN KIA, INVER GROVE HEIGHTS) ALSO REFUSING TO PROVIDE EQUIVALENT SIZED LOANER (FAMILY NEEDS 3RD ROW) CONTACTED NISSAN REGIONAL SPECIALIST JUSTIN - HE SAID THERE IS NOTHING NISSAN IS WILLING TO DO (SUPPLY PART SOONER OR LOANER). HAVE ALSO ESCALATED TO MN ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE. HAVE ALSO ESCALATED TO NISSAN EXECUTIVE OFFICE (RAVEN), BUT SO FAR ONLY PLAYING PHONE TAG WITH. NEED ASSISTANCE WITH NISSAN SO THAT MY PASSENGER HAS AN AIRBAG. AT TIMES NOT ABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE WHEN PASSENGER NEEDS TO ACCOMPANY. REQUEST EQUIVALENT SIZED LOANER UNTIL PARTS/REPAIR COMPLETED ON OWNED VEHICLE AS WELL AS AIRBAG SENSOR IN WORKING CONDITION AFTER REPAIR. NISSAN COMPANY PORTRAYED A "WE DON'T CARE" ATTITUDE AND WOULDN'T ALLOW COMMENTS TO BE MADE "ON RECORD" OR RECORDED.

I HAD MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SHOWING AIRBAG OFF WHEN I AM SITTING IN THE VEHICLE WITH THE VEHICLE IN MOTION. EVERY TIME I MENTIONED THE PROBLEM I WAS GIVEN AN EXCUSE AS TO WHY IT IS HAPPENING. THE WAY I SIT ANDTHE VEHICLE HAS TO BE SHUT OFF AND ON AGAIN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM ARE EXCUSES GIVEN. WHEN THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED I FIGURED THE PROBLEM WOULD FINALLY BE FIXED. I WAS WRONG, THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME 100 TIMES WORSE. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN AND A REPROGRAM WAS PERFORMED. NOW EVERYTIME I GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE THE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE SAYING AIRBAG OFF AND WHEN I SIT IN THE SEAT AND THE DRIVER STARTS TO DRIVE IT WILL STAY ILLUMINATED FOR ABOUT 20-25 MINUTES AT ANY SPEED FROM LOCAL TO HIGHWAY. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO FOR A PERMANENT FIX.

SINCE THE DAY WE BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER VEHICLE THE ORANGE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED ALMOST ALL OF THE TIME WHILE PASSENGER IS IN THE FRONT SEAT. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO CHERRY HILL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 4 TIMES COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT BEING ON EVEN WITH AN ADULT PASSENGER SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT. (AND THEN WITH NO ONE SITTING IN THE SEAT - SOMETIMES THE LIGHT IS ON, SOMETIMES IT IS OFF) ALL THOSE TIMES I GOT AN EXPLANATION THAT IT IS JUST A SOFTWARE GLINCH AND THEY TRY SOME FIX THAT DOES NOT WORK. THEY UPDATED THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE BUT TO DATE ALMOST EVERY SINGLE TIME THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON. I'M JUST WORRIED THAT IF THE VEHICLE WILL GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE FRONT, THAT SOMEONE IS NOT PROTECTED FROM THE IMPACT.I HAVE CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WHO TOLD ME NOT TO LET ANYONE SIT IN FRONT SEAT - THAT'S NOT A VERY GOOD SOLUTION AND FOR THE COST OF THE VEHICLE I SHOULD BE ABLE TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO SIT IN MY FRONT SEAT ESPECIALLY WHEN DUE TO THE # OF PEOPLE I NEED TO USE THE FRONT SEAT.

AIRBAG LIGHT SHOWS THAT THERE IS NO PASSENGER IN THE SEAT WHEN A ADULT SITS IN THE SEAT

TOOK CAR IN BECAUSE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS STAYING ON WITH AN ADULT SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHILE THE CAR WAS BOTHER STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. DEALER UPDATED SOFTWARE AND LIGHT WENT OUT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. THEN I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM INTERMITENTLY. I TOOK THE CAR BACK IN, THEY TRIED TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE AGAIN BUT IT WOULDN'T WORK. THE DEALER SAID THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE OCS, BUT THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO IT AT COST. I THOUGHT THAT IF IT WAS A SAFETY CONCERN THE MAUFACTURER WAS TO REPAIR IT AT THEIR COST NOT MINE.

PASSENGER AIRBAG MONITOR LIGHT STAYS ON WITH AN ADULT SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS HAPPENS OFTEN.

OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM IS INCORRECTLY SAYING THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT IS EMPTY, WHEN IN FACT OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT. NISSAN IS SAYING THAT BASED ON MY VIN# MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR DEATH OF A PASSENGER IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.

MY PASSENGER AIRBAG TURNS OFF EVEN WHEN A FULL SIZE ADULT OF THE PROPER WEIGHT IS IN THE FRONT SEAT. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS ON JUNE 1ST 2016. I HAVE CONTINUED TO TRY TO SCHEDULE SERVICE FOR THIS RECALL, HOWEVER, THE DEALER HAS NOTIFIED ME THAT NISSAN HAS STILL NOT MADE THE PART AVAILABLE TO THEM TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

NUMEROUS TIMES I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ( DICK SCOTT NISSAN OF CANTON ) COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS LID ON EVEN WITH AN ADULT PASSENGER WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT. ALL THOSE TIMES I GOT AN EXPLANATION THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM. THEY WON'T EVEN WRITE IT UP AS A COMPLAINT. THEY UPDATED THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE BUT TO DATE I STILL NOTICED EVERY NOW AND THEN THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON. I'M JUST WORRIED THAT IF THE VEHICLE WILL GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE FRONT, THAT SOMEONE IS NOT PROTECTED FROM THE IMPACT.

TAKATA RECALL WHILE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION, THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS REMAINED ON SEVERAL TIMES WHILE THE SEAT HAS BEEN OCCUPIED. 7 ATTEMPTS AT REPAIR HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTED, INCLUDING REPLACING PARTS AND UPDATING SENSORS. I HAVE ALL REPAIR DOCUMENTS FROM 2 NISSAN DEALERSHIPS ALONG WITH NISSANS' LETTER AND EMAIL THAT THEY WERE NOT IN A POSITION TO HELP ME.

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYED LIT WITH A 250 LB PASSENGER IN THE SEAT UNTIL WE REACHED OUR DESTINATION. WE REPORTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS, AND COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT. IT USUALLY HAPPENS IF THE PASSENGER GETS IN AS THE CAR IS BEING STARTED.

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINS ON WHEN MY MOTHER IS THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. SHE ONLY WAYS ABOUT 90 LBS, NISSAN SAYS THIS IS A CHILDS WEIGHT AND THE PERSON SHOULD BE IN THE BACKSEAT. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAD A FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE CALL ME. THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING, I SHOULD PUT MY MOTHER IN THE BACK SEAT. I HAD MANY VEHICLES IN MY LIFETIME AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAD THIS ISSUE. IS THIS AN ISSUE WITH ALL NISSANS. WE ALSO HAVE A 2015 KIA OPTIMA AND THAT AIRBAG WARNING WORKS FINE.

THE AIRBAG SENSOR RANDOMLY DOES NOT DETECT A FULL SIZE ADULT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND THEREFORE SHUTS OFF THE AIR BAG. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MANY OCCASIONS AND THESE ARE FULL GROWN ADULTS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS SUV HAS BEEN IN FOR A RECALL O N THIS SENSOR, BUT THAT STILL DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I HAVE ATTACHED A PICTURE TAKEN ON 10/9/2015, SHOWING THE AIRBAG SHUTOFF LIGHT ILLUMINATED, WITH A FULL GROWN MALE PASSENGER SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT

WHILE TURNING AT A STOPS SIGN ON A CITY STREET, GOING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, I HIT A SHALLOW POTHOLE & MY ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE AIRBAG HIT MY 8 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE FACE WHO WAS SITTING IN THE BACK PASSENGER SEAT. THIS CAUSED HER TO HAVE SWELLING, REDNESS & WHELPS TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF HER FACE & NECK. I SUBMITTED A CLAIM TO NISSAN TO WHICH THEY DETERMINED THAT THEY WERE NOT LIABLE FOR THE DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE AIRBAGS TO THE INTERIOR OF MY VEHICLE.
