While driving on a section of a us highway that was under construction, a bump was encountered where the pavement blended with old pavement. at that time i noticed that the warning light for no passenger in the passenger seat came on. the problem was that my wife was sitting in the seat and had been for approximately 8 miles at the time the light came on. i pulled over as soon as possible, shut the ignition off and restarted the car. after doing this, the warning light went off and we proceeded home without incident. my concern is that the ocs was reprogrammed when i had the vehicle serviced on 7/15/2014 and until this time, i had experienced no other problems since it was reprogrammed. it appears that the ocs reprogramming is not correcting the issue. i tried to contact nissan, however, it was after hours and i will have to wait until monday to report the issue to them. *tr

This issue is regarding the passenger air bag light that turns on even when there is an adult passenger occupying the seat. the weight of the adult passenger (150lbs - 180lbs) is much higher than the threshold for activating the air bags. have taken to the nissan dealership and complained about this issue during my 3 service visits, but every time i get a response that there are no issues with the sensors and there are no pending recalls. it took me a lot of effort to make them understand what i'm saying and the dealership was of no help. they made me believe that this is a non-issue and i should ignore the air bag light. this is a very serious issue and i've now a video/photo evidence with different adults in the passenger seats. further, this is very erratic. at one instance, i've had my wife sit in the passenger seat while the air bag light was off and suddenly turned on when we were cruising at 65mph on the highway, the light suddenly turned on. it's caused a brief panic and we had to stop, re-start the engine and then it worked fine. we're very scared to ride a passenger and the dealership is of no help. i searched online and found many other users having similar concerns with no resolution. this is a very very serious safety issue and would request the erratic and faulty air bag problem be resolved before we wait to hear about some casualty because of faulty airbags from nissan. *tr

Recently after getting the s/w updated for the recall to fix the passenger air bag issue, i started noticing that the air bag indicator for both driver and passenger are red for longer time than other dash lights during the start of the engine. usually, after starting the engine , all the dash light would come and within couple of seconds, lights/indicators in the dash would go from red to off indicating that everything is normal. but off late , i noticed that only the air bag indicator is going off by at least 3+ seconds, which in turn in sync with the passenger air bag. i'm kind of worried that the air bag safety system is not functioning properly. please advise any further action to get proper attention from the dealer. thanks *tr

This is an ongoing problem. the information provided above is approximate as i didn't know it was an issue until a recall from my nissan dealer on april 22' 2014. since then i have had it back to the dealer two more times for the same incident only to be told it could not be fixed, but they gave me a procedure to get around the issue. the issue involves the air bag light on the passengers side staying lit even when there is an adult in the seat. the light on means the passengers air bag is disabled. i am told to check light while the car in on and in park and if on, have the passenger stay perfectly still for about eight seconds, until the light goes out. sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't. occasionally i have to shut off the engine and restart in order for this to work. most times, i forget to check the light only to notice it on while driving. this is not acceptable. i worry about not noticing and having a front end accident. surely in this day and age nissan engineers can find a fix. *tr
Passenger air bags off light is "on" while driving, at any speed, with an adult in front passenger seat. the problem first occurred when the vehicle was less that a week old. it continues to occur about once a month. i have had the car at the dealer many times. the problem cannot be duplicated at the dealer, therefore no repairs have been made. on june 15, 2016 the vehicle was taken to the dealer in response to recall #16v244000. no help! the problem has occurred twice since then. the problem: always occurs during an engine start. never while driving. it seems to be part of the initialization process. may correct itself at any time. it may last for a half a mile or 50 miles. cannot be corrected by the passenger standing or bouncing can always be corrected by pulling off the road and stopping then restarting the engine. i have a lots of cell phone photos showing vehicle speed, "passenger air bag off" indication and an adult passenger in the passenger seat. these photos are dated.

Randomly this occurs, when sitting in the front passenger seat the air bag sign for that seat will say off. on our last trip we left a stop and entered the highway but the light stayed on indicating the air bag was not activated. we had to drive like that until we could safely stop. we then turned off the ignition and started the car again, and this time the air bag off light did not stay lit. we have had the vehicle at the dealer 6 times for this problem. because they can not duplicate the problem when the car is there the only thing they say they can do is a zero point reset on ocs system. that has not stopped this issue from reoccurring. we have phoned bergstrom of oshkosh 5 days this week, they do not return our call. the last diagnosis states electrical, however, tony the service advisor told us the last time we were their that they don't want to throw money at the car it could be a sensor, electrical, the air bag system or the seat. because they cannot replicate the problem when we are there they do not know what to fix, so choose to do nothing. the recall on the car was done 5/26/16. however we continue to have this problem. the service advisor has repeatedly said it is because the passenger is not sitting on the seat correctly, however the last time it occurred the passenger was sitting in the same position when the air bag was off as she was when the ignition was turned off and restarted correcting the problem. our warranty will run out soon. we phoned nissan and they will only go by what there auto tech at bergstrom tells them, so no help there either. i have copies of invoices from when the car was taken in for this problem.
We were one of the 2014 nissan altima's that was experiencing the passenger air bag issue: even though a full-sized adult was sitting in the seat, the "air-bag off" would be illuminated. it was brought in under the recall in roughly october of 2014. after getting the car back, we immediately noticed that the light was still coming on when a passenger was present. we were told that it could be due to humidity, as we live in florida. but even during the winter months it still read that the air bag was off. this is concerning if it is a safety issue and nissan is not properly fixing the issue. i heard recently on the news that more complaints are coming forward and i wanted to make sure my voice was heard. thank you. *tr

Problem is, my girlfriend weight 110lb. lot of time when she sits on the passenger side, the airbag indicator tells us the airbag is off. this problems only happened when i picked up my car on the street next to curbs. design of roads is, the center is higher than the sides. because of that, when i park on the right of the streets next to the curbs, the left side of the car is higher than the right side. so when my girlfriend sits on the passenger side, her weight doesnt goes to the center of the seat. but if the car is on surface level such as in a garage, and she get in the car, we have no airbag issue. *tr

Had random passenger airbag remain on when passenger was sitting in seat - met all weight requirements. this never happened continually but was problematic enough to bring in to dealer. they could not find anything wrong. brought in several times, still no fix. nissan recalled this problem in april 2015, had fix done to vehicle. within a week airbag light stayed on with passenger in seat. this issue continues yet talking with nissan they believe that since the dealer can't find any error codes showing what the problem is they will not fix it. nissan will not put this under nhtsa campaign number: 15v681000 as it does not fit their criteria. i believe any passenger sitting in that seat is not safe. vehicle is running passenger comes in and sits in seat, passenger airbag light stays on. passenger is 160#. if i turn vehicle off and restart the airbag light usually does stay off. but not sure of the safety at that point - is airbag really on? this is continual since buying the vehicle in 2013, fix in spring of 2015 did not fix ocs for my vehicle.
