There's a yellow dashboard light and a red airbag warning light that stays on constantly when operating the vehicle. The lights stay on when there's an adult in the seat, too. Nissan says it's a sign of a faulty OCS and sensors. I just found there was a recall for this and I'm not sure the 1st owners had it checked and fixed. I'm a 2nd owner. Either way, it's a safety issue and extremely important. Similar recall was April 26, 2016 | recall 16V244000.

I got into an accident going 55+ mph on the freeway and got hit by a big rig and none of the airbags deployed. Prior to this I had taken the vehicle for an oil change when I was told the airbags were recalled so they fixed them. I was hit by a big rig which wrecked my whole car making it not driveable the windows were all shattered and none of the airbags went off. Updated 10/17/18

Letter received from Nissan regarding possible front air bag passenger sensor malfunction. Our sensor malfunctions inconsistently with the same individual sitting in the seat (weighing 110-115 lbs) while vehicle is in motion; system works properly at times indicating passenger air bag will deploy in an accident, and then at other times notes airbag will not deploy. We're now encountering difficulties with Nissan correcting/fixing the acknowledged (by Nissan) problem due to the inconsistent nature of the issue. Concerned the system won't work correctly upon potential collision and requesting the sensor that is malfunctioning be replaced.
