2015 Nissan Pathfinder

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHEN AN OCCUPANT WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLES ON THE LOT WOULD HAVE THE ISSUE REMEDIED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS) AND THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR WERE AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS NOT OFFERED ANY ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,500. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INCIDENTS WHERE A FULL SIZE ADULT PASSENGER HAS BEEN RIDING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND THE AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT DETECT THE ADULT AND TURNS OFF THE AIRBAG. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHER THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND WHEN THE PASSENGER GETS IN, BEFORE THE CAR IS STARTED, ONCE THE CAR IS STARTED, THE AIRBAG IS ALREADY OFF BEFORE WE LEAVE. OTHER TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING THE AIR BAG WILL JUST TURN OFF. SOMETHING IS REMAINS ON FOR THE WHOLE TRIP UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF ONCE WE REACH OUR DESTINATION, OTHER TIMES THE LIGHT WILL TURN OFF AND THE AIRBAG TURNS BACK ON BEFORE WE ARRIVE AT OUR DESTINATION. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD, YEA, THEY ARE REAL SENSITIVE AND IF THE LIGHT IS ACTIVATED THE AIR BAG IS TURNED OFF AND WILL NOT WORK. BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN TODAY AND INSISTED THEY LOOK AT IT. SAID THEY WOULD DO A ZERO RESET ON THE SYSTEM AND SEE IF THAT WILL FIX IT. MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS APRIL 17, 2016. HAVE MORE PHOTOS FROM PAST INCIDENTS AS WELL.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JULY, 2015. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON SEVERAL TIMES WHILE A PASSENGER WAS IN THE FRONT SEAT SHORTLY AFTER I GOT THE CAR. DURING MY FIRST ROUTINE SERVICE APPOINTMENT ON FEB. 1, 2016 I MENTIONED IT TO THE SERVICE TECH AND THEY CHECKED BUT COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THEY PERFORMED A ZERO RESET AT THAT TIME. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN ON 3/11, 4/9, AND 4/30 WHILE A PASSENGER OF PROPER WEIGHT AND HEIGHT WAS SEATING IN THE SEAT. ADDITIONALLY, ON 4/20 THE SEAT BELT INDICATOR LIGHT WAS LIT IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO PASSENGER IN THE CAR AND THE DRIVER WAS BUCKLED UP. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SERVICE STATION TODAY, 5/7, FOR THESE PROBLEMS. THEY STATED THAT THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOW THE SECOND TIME MY CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND NOTHING WAS FOUND TO BE WRONG. I NOW DRIVE WITH MY CELLPHONE NEXT TO ME AND TAKE PICTURES EVERY TIME THIS OCCURS.

I WORKED WITH NISSAN LAST YEAR TO RESOLVE AN ISSUE THAT I HAD WITH A PATHFINDER AIRBAG ISSUE (NISSAN CASE 19556126). 'THE ORIGINAL VEHICLE WAS REPLACED AND I'VE HAD THE BAD LUCK OF GETTING A 2015 PATHFINDER WITH THE SAME ISSUE. 'I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE LATE NOVEMBER OF 2015, IT HAS APPROX. 3700 MILES ON IT AND IS ALREADY EXHIBITING ISSUES WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. 'IT HAS BEEN IN 3 TIMES WITH DOCUMENT (VIDEOS) INSTANCES WHERE THE AIRBAG OFF LIGHT IS ON, WHILE DRIVING WITH A PERSON WEIGHING MORE THAN 100LBS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THESE ARE INTERMITTENT ISSUES. ONE TIME I DROVE WITH THE AIRBAG OFF LIGHT ON FROM CLEVELAND TO RICHFIELD 'APPROX. 30 MILES. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IF IT IS NOT FIXED. 'IT STILL IS NOT RESOLVED. 'JOEL TANNER, HAS BEEN MY CONTACT AT AIRPORT NISSAN (440-884-7800) WHERE THE CAR CAME FROM AND HAS BEEN SERVICED. HE STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAG. HOWEVER, I HAVE CLEARLY DOCUMENTED THE ISSUE WITH VIDEOS. 'DIKOTA, AT NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS (615- 725-7590) TALKED WITH ME AND STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. 'THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO BEEN IN FOR ENGINE LIGHT ISSUES WHICH FOR THE TIME HAVE BEEN RESOLVED. 'IT IS ALSO EXHIBITING AN ISSUE WITH THE GPS WHERE ADDRESSES CAN'T BE FOUND WITH THE VEHICLE'S GPS BUT MY IPHONE CAN. I HAVE VIDEOS THAT CAN BE SENT BUT YOUR WEBSITE DOESN'T ACCEPT THEM - PLEASE PROVIDE A WAY TO SEND THEM TO YOU.

OUR 2015 PATHFINDER HAS AN ISSUE WHERE WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED WITH AN ADULT PASSENGER, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT ACTIVATE. (INDICATOR LIGHT FOR PASS AIRBAG OFF IS ILLUMINATED) SOMETIMES IT WILL ACTIVATE AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF DRIVING, OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT ACTIVATE UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. ALSO, SOMETIMES IF THE SEAT IS NOT OCCUPIED, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL BE ACTIVATED. WE NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP OF THE ISSUE DURING A SERVICE IN LATE 2015 AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE PASSENGER SHOULD WAIT TO ENTER THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. THERE WASN'T ANY CHANGE REGARDLESS OF HOW WE ENTERED THE VEHICLE. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS IN EARLY 2016 AND THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY DIAGNOSTIC ISSUES. THEY "RESET" THE PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. TODAY WE DROVE THE VEHICLE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT ACTIVATE AGAIN WITH A PASSENGER OCCUPYING THE SEAT. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF THE AIR BAG DOES NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AN ADULT PASSENGER WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY.

HAVE A 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER WHERE THE "AIRBAG IS OFF" PASSENGER LIGHT KEEPS COMING ONE WHEN AN ADULT PASSENGER WEIGHING MORE THAN 150 LBS IS PROPERLY SEATED WEARING THE SEATBELT PROPERLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES (10+ TIMES). I HAVE HAD IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER TWICE WITH THE MOST RECENT DATE BEING FEBRUARY 2, 2016 FOR THIS ISSUE. NISSAN DEALER RUNS TESTS BUT IS UNABLE TO FIND ISSUE. FILED COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN ON FEBRUARY 4TH AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY TALKED TO THE DEALER AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM. I HAVE IT ON VIDEO WHERE I AM SITTING PROPERLY IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WITH SEATBELT PROPERLY ON WITH THE CAR BEING DRIVEN DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH AND THE "AIRBAG IS OFF" LIGHT IS ON. IT IS NOW A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I WOULD HATE TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT WITH ANYONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT (WHICH INDICATES AIR BAG IS OFF AND WILL NOT DEPLOY) REMAINS ON (>50% OF THE TIME) WHEN THERE IS AN ADULT SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. TOOK VEHICLE INTO THE NISSAN FOX DEALERSHIP (GRAND RAPIDS, MI) THIS MORNING FOR SERVICE. BEFORE ASSESSING, THEY TOLD ME THEY PROBABLY WON'T FIND ANYTHING AND THAT I SHOULD RELY ON MY SEAT BELT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS FIRST OCCURRED ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO.
