MY 120LB WIFE DOES NOT ACTIVATE THE SEAT SENSOR FOR THE AIRBAG IN MY 04 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN 100% OF THE TIME, IT HAS OCCURRED REPEATEDLY. THE DEALER CHECKED & CONFIRMED THAT THE SYSTEM IS OPERATING NORMALLY AND STATED THAT THEY COULD DO NOTHING MORE. AT THIS POINT MY WIFE IS RIDING IN OUR TRUCK WITHOUT AN AIRBAG. WHILE SHE DOES WEAR A SEATBELT, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE COMFORT OF KNOWING THE FULL SAFETY SYSTEM IS OPERATIONAL IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. RESEARCH AND OTHER COMPLAINTS POSTED HERE SHOW TAHT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. *MR

NO CRASHES OR INJURIES. THE ADVANCED AIRBAG SYSTEM ON OUR 2004 NISSAN TITAN DISABLES PASSENGER AIRBAG WHEN A 132 POUND FEMALE IS PROPERLY SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.*AK WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM IN EVERY 2004 NISSAN TITAN AT A LOCAL DEALER'S LOT. *AK OUR DEALER STATES 125 POUNDS ON THE SEAT SENSOR ITSELF IS NECESSARY TO ENABLE THE AIRBAG, CLAIMED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND REFUSED TO RUN ANY DIAGNOSTICS ON THE SYSTEM. THE NISSAN WEBSITE CLAIMS 47 POUNDS, CONSUMER AFFAIRS STATES 60 POUNDS IS NECESSARY TO ENABLE THE ADVANCED AIRBAG. IT IS UNCLEAR IF THIS IS POUNDS OF PRESSURE EXERTED ON THE SEAT SENSOR ITSELF, OR IF A PERSON OF THIS PHYSICAL WEIGHT, SEATED PROPERLY, WOULD HAVE AN AIRBAG. MY 132 POUND WIFE IS EXERTING ABOUT 110 POUNDS OF WEIGHT ON THE SEAT ITSELF.
