SINCE PURCHASE, THE LIGHT INDICATING "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" IS MOSTLY ON EVEN WHEN AN ADULT IS CORRECTLY SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I CALLED NISSAN AS SOON AS WE BOUGHT IT AND THEY SAID IT HAD TO GO TO THE DEALER FOR A CHECKUP. THE FIRST 3 TIMES WE TOOK IT IN, THEY TOLD US THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE FOURTH TIME, MARCH 22, 2014, THEY TOLD US THEY REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE PART. SOON AFTER WE REALIZED THAT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. WE TOOK IT IN AGAIN TODAY AND THEY TOLD US THAT, AGAIN, THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE ON THEIR COMPUTER. *TR

WHILE RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIRBAG DISABLED LIGHT IS STILL ILLUMINATED, LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE AIRBAG IS DISABLED EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A FULL GROWN ADULT IN THE SEAT. IT SHUTS OFF INTERMITTENTLY, BUT ON TODAY'S 6 HOUR DRIVE IT DID NOT TURN OFF ONCE EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS SOMEONE OCCUPYING THE SEAT. *TR

TWO DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT THIS 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHEN SISTER (120 BL) SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON, AFTER COUPLE MINUTES THE LIGHT WENT OFF. LATER ON, THE LIGHT ON AGAIN. I CHECK THE USER'S MANU, IT SAID IF THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON WHICH MEANS THE AIRBAG IS NOT IN WORKING CONDITION, IF I HAVE A CRASH, THE PASSENGER WILL NOT GOT ANY AIRBAG PROTECTION. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS COMMON, JUST BECAUSE THE AIRBAG SENSOR UNDER THE "NEW DESIGNED" SEAT WAS NOT SO SENSITIVE,AND HE SAID MY SISTER IS NOT HEAVY ENOUGH(120 BL) TO MAKE THE AIRBAG WORK. THE REASON THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON AND OFF WAS BECAUSE MY SISTER DID NOT SIT PROPERLY. BUT WHEN I ASK WHY THIS SITUATION NEVER HAPPEN IN MY OTHER CARS. HE COULD NOT SAY ANYTHING. HE TOLD ME THE CAR WAS DESIGNED LIKE THIS. HE DID NOT DO ANYTHING AND HE JUST SENT ME HOME THAT DAY. I GOT A CALL FROM THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY. THEY SAID THEY KNEW THERE WAS A RECALL ABOUT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ISSUE, BUT MY CAR WAS NOT IN THAT CATEGORY, EVEN MY CAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALL ISSUED. WHAT A JOKE!!! IT SEEMS THEY WILL NOT DO NOTHING UNTIL SOMEONE GOT INJURED. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, IF I CAN NOT GET A GOOD SOLUTION, THIS CAR WILL BE MY FIRST AND LAST NISSAN EVER. I FEEL SO DISAPPOINT!!! I HOPE NISSAN WILL NOT BE A SECOND ''TOYOTA". *TR

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHTS UP STATING AIR BAGS ARE OFF EVEN THOUGH THERE IS AN ADULT SITTING IN PASSENGER SEAT. TOOK IN TODAY TO NISSAN DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS SOMETHING NORMAL. I INSISTED FOR THEM TO NOTE IT IN THEIR SYSTEM THAT I TOOK IT IN FOR THAT REASON. THEY DECIDED TO KEEP MY CAR TO RUN TESTS. *TR

AIR BAGS ON PASSENGER SIDE DO NOT WORK ALL THE TIME IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. *TR

PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT STAYING ON REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS A PERSON OVER 100LBS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT STAYING ON THE DASHBOARD, WHILE IT IS SUPPOSED TO TURN OFF AFTER 7 SECONDS. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON TUESDAY 2/26/13.. THEY SAID IT IS A FAULTY CENSOR AND THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, HOWEVER THE PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER WITH NO DEFINITE TIME LINE. *TR
