Takata recall you previous webpage mentions the manufacturer acquiring the parts to repair in a timely manner. My question is, what do you consider a timely manner" I received my recall notice approximately 6 months or more ago, but I haven't heard anything else regarding Nissan repairing the faulty airbags. I'm getting more and more concerned daily about my family's or my safety. When is Nissan going to get off their behinds and repair or replace the faulty airbags"

I had problems with my air bag sensor ever since I bought the car. Every once in a while when I had a passenger in the front seat the air bag would deactivate. Originally the service manager stated that my purse must be to heavy and is knocking out the calibration. The second time I got a lesson on how to sit in the seat properly. Finally, Nissan admitted there was a problem and announced the recall. Since it was happening more and more frequently the dealer put me on the top of the list to call when they received the parts. Saturday I finally was able to bring the car in for the air bag OCS sensor recall repair. When I picked the car up after the service I noticed that the passenger air bag warning light stayed on continuously. According to the manual "after placing the ignition switch in the on position, the supplemental air bag warning light illuminates. The supplemental air bag warning light will turn off after about 7 seconds if the system is operational". I went back inside and mentioned it to the service manager and was told that was the fix that Nissan implemented. The warning light is now on constantly unless someone is in the passenger seat. This does not seem right and goes against everything in the Nissan manual. Additionally, having a warning light on at night in the vehicle is a distraction.

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.

The airbag sensor for the front passenger side seat does not work properly. There can be a large adult in the seat, and the sensor shows the airbag off. We bought the car new, as a demo, with approximately 5,000 miles on it. This has happened more than one time.
