Side airbag on the drivers seat and the ceiling curtain airbags on the 2nd and 3rd row deployed while i was driving for reason
Infiniti qx60 now has created a constant yellow false warning picture/light on in car indicating that the passenger air bag if off even though no one is sitting in the seat. if an infant or a small child is placed in the seat, since the yellow warning picture/ light is always on, a true and actual hazard may be overlooked. there is no need for a false constant warning light when no one is sitting in the seat. ask infiniti to fix the problem with the air bag so that it works as the manual indicates. when no one is sitting in the seat the warning picture will illuminate for 7 seconds and then cut off. when an infant or small child is sitting in the seat, then the light will remain on indicating that there is a true hazard. allowing nissan/infiiniti to get a way with a quick fix by leaving the yellow warning light on constantly, a true hazard will be overlooked possibly causing death or injury to the person in the seat. this light is on at all times, while driving and when stationary. this has been occurring since the date of purchase on 08/06/2016.
