Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Within a week of purchasing the car i noticed that the light indicating that the passenger side airbag was off would illuminated when the 180 lb husband would sit in the passenger seat properly restrained. not only would it come on and stay on, but it would go off after a little while then come back on. a while later, it would come back on, then go off again. the dealership where i purchased the car reset the computer, but the problem occurred again. at this time, i had a 55 lb child sit in the passenger seat and buckle up the light did not come on. as i understood , it was designed to come on in this situation. the dealership has since put a seat from a new vehicle . nissan was in no hurry to ship the dealer a new seat into the car, but the same problem happened again. now, when i have articles that were somewhat heavy , 20-30 lb, ) in the passenger seat without the seat belt buckled the light will come on, go off, and come back on again multiple times at odd intervals. i didn't believe the sensor is working properly when anyone was in the car.*ak
