VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO DEALER TWICE FOR THIS ISSUE AND ISSUE REMAINS: AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINS ON WHEN 100 TO 300 LB PERSON SITTING IN PASSENGER SEAT. HAVE RECEIVED INTERIM OWNER NOTIFICATION ON NHTSA RECALL 16V-244. WHEN I CONTACTED TWO DEALERS ABOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM THEY TELL ME THAT PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE. WHEN CONTACTING NISSAN SAFETY I AM TOLD PARTS WILL SHIP AT THE END OF AUGUST. AM I TO NOT CARRY A PASSENGER UNTIL THEN? UNACCEPTABLE. I USE THIS VEHICLE FOR WORK AND NEED TO HAVE PEOPLE RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT.

TAKATA RECALL AIRBAGS FAILED WHEN I WAS DOING 5 MPH AND WAS SIDE SWIPED. THE FIRE DEPT HAD TO CUT ME OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I NEEDED STAPLES IN MY HEAD AND WAS UNCONSCIOUS BECAUSE THE OTHER DRIVER WAS DOING 20_30 MPH ACCORDING TO POLICE REPORT. NISSAN REFUSED TO CHANGE ME INTO A NEW VEHICLE DESPITE MY DISABLED STATUS AND FEAR OF DRIVING IT. I CALLED TWICE AND WENT BY DEALER WHO AGREED THE SHOULD HAVE WORKED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OFF WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE AN ADULT WAS OCCUPYING THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN REPROGRAMMED THE OCS AND REPLACED THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR SYSTEM; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. ALSO, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS AWAITING REPAIRS PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND EXPLAINED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

WAS NOTIFIED OF NHTSA RECALL 16V-244 IN EARLY JUNE 2016 OF A PROBLEM WITH ENGAGING FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG. THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM WAS INITIALLY NOTED BY ME (OWNER) IN NOVEMBER 2013. NISSAN SUPPORSEDLY RELOADED SOFTWARE WHICH SOLVED PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH WE CONTINUED TO HAVE INDICATION FROM DASHBOARD LIGHT OF NON-ENGAGEMENT WHEN SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. NOW ALMOST TWO YEAR LATER WE RECEIVE THIS RECALL NOTICE. SCHEDULED RECALL FIX APPOINTMENT WITH PRIORITY NISSAN CHANTILLY SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR 6/29/16 AND WAS RECONFIRMED FOR APPOINTMENT BY DEALERSHIP ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. UPON ARRIVAL AT SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT (0800, 6/29/16) WAS RUDELY INFORMED BY DEALERSHIP THAT NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE FOR FIX. LOST TIME AND NOT FIX AFTER ALMOST TWO YEARS AND NOW TWO MONTHS FROM FORMAL RECALL NOTICE. DEALERSHIP DIDN'T SEEM TO BE CONCERNED WITH MY CONCERN. NOW I ASK FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN DETERMINING WHETHER MY VEHICLE IS SAFE FOR A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT, WHEN AIRBAG DOES NOT ENGAGE. MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHAT IS NISSAN USA DOING TO ASSURE DEALERSHIPS ARE TAKING THIS RECALL SERIOUSLY AND WHAT ACTIONS TO OBTAIN APPROPRIATE PARTS FOR FIX ARE BEING TAKEN.

WE HAD A NEW 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER THAT WAS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. WE WERE HIT FROM BEHIND INTO ANOTHER CAR. IT WAS ENOUGH IMPACT TO TOTAL A NEW CAR. THE SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHEN THE IMPACT WAS FRONT/BACK. NEITHER THE DRIVER OR THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I HAD A LOT OF BRUISING FROM THE SEAT BELT & MY HUSBAND HAD A HEAD RELATED INJURY LIKE A CONCUSSION DUE TO THE IMPACT AS WELL AS US BOTH HAVING BACK PAIN ISSUES. I FEEL THAT IF I HADN'T BEEN WEARING MY SEAT BELT SEEING HOW BADLY I WAS BRUISED & A KNOT IN MY BREAST FROM THE IMPACT THAT I WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY HIT THE WINDSHIELD OR WORSE. I WAS IN A MUCH LESS SEVERE ACCIDENT WHEN I WAS A CHILD & HIT MY HEAD ON THE WINDSHIELD. THAT IS WHY I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT IF I HADN'T BEEN WEARING MY SEAT BELT, IT FAILED,ETC THAT I WOULD HAVE HIT THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE UNFORTUNATELY BEFORE I REALIZED HOW IMPORTANT SEAT BELTS WERE. WE ALWAYS WONDERED WHY THE FRONT AIRBAGS (BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER) DIDN'T DEPLOY CONSIDERING THE IMPACT WAS FROM THE REAR AND FRONT. NOW THAT THERE IS A RECALL, IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE. THE SIDE PASSENGER AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY, BUT NOT THE FRONT PASSENGER... OR DRIVER FOR THAT MATTER. WE WERE COMPLETELY STOPPED IN A TUNNEL DUE TO A QUICK TRAFFIC PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR BEHIND US HIT US. THE IMPACT WAS HARD ENOUGH TO PUSH US INTO THE STOPPED CAR IN FRONT OF US. THEY HAD TO CLOSE THE TUNNEL DOWN TO TOW OUR CAR AS WELL AS THE CAR BEHIND US OUT OF THE TUNNEL. 2 OF 3 CARS WERE NOT DRIVE-ABLE AND OUR CAR WAS TOTALED. I AM SURE THE CAR BEHIND US WAS TOTALED ALSO. WE ENDED UP GETTING A 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER - BECAUSE WE THOUGHT IT WAS ONE OF THE SAFEST OPTIONS - & NOW THERE IS A RECALL ON THOSE AIRBAGS BUT THE PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE. SO THIS IS VERY CONCERNING... PHOTOS ATTACHED ARE OF THE SIDE AIRBAGS THAT DEPLOYED. AT LEAST 2 INJURIES +.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF RECALL (NHTSA RECALL 16V-244) 3 MONTHS AGO HOWEVER HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET NISSAN TO REPAIR PASSENGER AIRBAG. THEY CLAIM THEY CAN'T GET THE PARTS. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES SINCE 2014 TO NO AVAIL. IT WASN'T UNTIL RECALL THAT NISSAN EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED THIS PROBLEM. THE LIGHT ON THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG STAYS LIT WITH SOMEONE SITTING IN THE SEAT. PASSENGER WEIGHT IS 130-175 LBS AND IT STILL ILLUMINATES. WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE HERE.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TURNS OFF WITH ADULT SITTING IN PASSENGER SEAT. THE MALFUNCTION OCCURS WHEN SITTING STILL OR IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES FOR THE ISSUE. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RECALL WAS THE FIRST ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THREE ATTEMPTS LATER NISSAN DIRECTED THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE ALL COMPONENTS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. OF NOTE, THE DEALERSHIP IS VERY COURTEOUS, PROVIDES ME WITH A LOANER VEHICLE EACH TIME, BUT ACTS LIKE MY CAR IS THE ONLY NISSAN TO EVER HAVE THIS PROBLEM. 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER PLATINUM 4WD 30,000 MILES

I HAVE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION TWICE NOW FROM NISSAN, THAT THE OCS HAS A RECALL AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF THE OCS IS NOT WORKING RIGHT, THE AIRBAG WON'T DEPLOY CORRECTLY. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS TO GET THIS FIXED AND THEY SAY THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THIS RECALL. MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN!

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG OFF LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING WITH A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. VEHICLE HAS TO BE STOPPED AND RESTARTED TO RESET THE AIRBAG LIGHT.

ONGOING ISSUE WITH FRONT PASSENGER OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM. "AIRBAG OFF" OCCASIONALLY LIGHTS UP (BEFORE MOVING AND WHILE MOVING) INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG IS OFF EVEN THOUGH THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED WITH SEAT BELT ON. NISSAN OCS SERVICE RECORD: 12/17/2013 OCS REPROGRAMMED BY DEALER PRIOR TO PURCHASE DATE OF 1/16/2014 2,480 MILES 5/16/2014 OCS REPROGRAMMED BY DEALER 6,777 MILES 10/24/2014 OCS SEAT SENSOR REPROGRAMMED BY DEALER 13,447 1/28/2015 NEW AIRBAG PRESSURE DETECTION SENSOR & CONTROLLER ASSEMBLY-OCCUPANT SENSOR INSTALLED 17,831 MILES 12/22/2015 OCS CHECKED BY DEALER AND DEALER STATES NO PROBLEM FOUND. CONTRARY TO THE DEALERS FINDING, THE OCS LIGHT STILL COMES ON AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. DATE AND TIMES ARE BEING RECORDED. THIS WILL BECOME A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION IN THE EVENT I DO NOT NOTICE THAT THE LIGHT IS ON AND AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. AN OUTSIDE SOURCE HAS TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A SOFTWARE ISSUE BECAUSE IF I TURN THE CAR OFF WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF. NISSAN HAS NO IDEA HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

WE HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE IN FOUR TIMES TO NISSAN TO BE FIXED AND THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT STILL COMES ON WHEN AN ADULT SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING.

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT WILL COME ON EVEN WITH AN ADULT PASSENGER SEATED. HAVE TAKE THIS TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPEAT THE EVENT. STILL HAVING THIS ISSUE. MOSTLY SEEMS TO HAPPEN IF THE OCCUPANCY CHANGES WHILE CAR IS RUNNING. (I.E. PASSENGER GETS IN AFTER CAR IS RUNNING)

THE "PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT OFF" IS ILLUMINATED EVEN THOUGH AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN THE OCCUPANCY IS CHANGED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. THE VEHICLE WILL HAVE TO BE TURNED OFF, THEN RESTARTED TO CLEAR THIS CONDITION. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN LESS FREQUENTLY IF THE ADULT IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BEFORE THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE OUR PURCHASE. WE HAVE HAD TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY CAN'T EVER SEEM TO DUPLICATE IT WHILE THEY HAVE THE VEHICLE. THEY SUPPOSEDLY REPROGRAM ONE OF THE COMPUTERS, BUT THIS CONDITION IS STILL HAPPENING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

THE AIRBAG IN THE PASSENGER SEAT SHOWS AS "OFF" EVEN WHEN A FULL GROWN ADULT SITS IN THE SEAT. THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT BUT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUITE SOME TIME. COMMUNICATIONS WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS HAVE RESULTED IN NO SOLUTION. THEY HAVE INDICATED THAT SINCE THE COMPUTER IS NOT SHOWING AN ERROR CODE THEY CANNOT FIX IT. THEY DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE LONG STRING OF CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ON THE SUBJECT.
