| Passenger airbag light stays illuminated as if i am not in the seat instead of going out like it's supposed to do. it is acting as if a small child or small adult is in the seat. i am 5ft 11in tall and weigh 135 lbs. this far exceeds the fda design/manufacturing qualifications. the light has been doing this for the last 10 to eleven months. i bought the pathfinder new, it has never been wrecked. dealership tested for a code and none showed. a new seat was installed today, 5/25/2012 and the light stayed illuminated again. tuesday, we tested a different 2010 pathfinder on their lot and the light did not stay on. it went off properly after a couple of seconds. today, we tested me in a new 2012 pathfinder and the airbag light worked properly as well. this is a $45,000 suv and i pay for my airbags to properly deploy if i am ever in an accident. something needs to be done. | |||
