2015 Nissan Murano

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE AN UNKNOWN PART WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,232. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. UPDATED 10/26/16*LJ *CN

PASSENGER SEAT SWITCH THAT CONTROLS AIR BAG WOULD TURN OFF AIRBAG WITH AN ADULT IN THE SEAT . HAD RECALL WORK DONE AT THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM NEW AFTER WORK WAS DONE DASH LIGHT SAY PASSENGER AIR BAG OF WITH NO ONE IN SEAT AND STAYS ON ALL THE TIME . IT DOES GO OUT WITH AN ADULT IN THE SEAT . MY COMPLAINT IS THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX AT BEST THIS IS NOT HOW THIS IS DESIGNED TO WORK WHAT HAPPENS WHEN DASH LIGHT BURNS OUT ? NO OTHER VEHICLE I OWN WORKS THIS WAY IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE POSITION OF THE SWITCH IN THE SEAT IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED FOR FREE I DID NOT BUY THIS CAR THINKING THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCT A DEFECT IS A DEFECT FIX IT PROPERLY.

RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AUTOMATICALLY TURNING OFF IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN ON 6/20/16 REGARDING THE RECALL. GOT HOME AND NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT SINCE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LOOKED AT AND FIXED ON 6/20/16. HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR 6/28/16. NOT SURE IF THERE ISN'T A DEEPER PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG.

ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME THE OCS SYSTEM DOES NOT TURN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG ON IF THE ENGINE IS STARTED PRIOR TO AN ADULT BEING SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND CONTINUES TO STAY OFF IF THE VEHICLE IS PLACED IN MOTION. IF YOU STOP THE ENGINE AND THEN RESTART THE AIR BAG IS THEN TURNED ON. THE OCS SYSTEM IN THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPROGRAMMED AS PER NHTSA RECALL 16V-244. THE OTHER PASSENGER AIR BAG ISSUES WERE RESOLVED, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED ABOVE HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. IT MATTERS NOT HOW FAR YOU DRIVE OR THE TYPE OF ROAD THE PASSENGER BAG WILL NOT TURN ON AGAIN UNTIL THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF THEN RESTARTED.

IF THE MOTOR IS STARTED PRIOR TO AN ADULT PASSENGER SITTING DOWN IN THE FRONT SEAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS NOT TURNED ON WHEN THERE IS NO PASSENGER IN THE SEAT AND NOTHING ELSE IN IN THE SEAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS TURNED ON WHILE DRIVING. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS TURNED OFF WHILE STATIONARY, WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING WITH A FULL GROWN ADULT IN THE SEAT. IF YOU STOP THE VEHICLE AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF WITH THE ADULT PASSENGER REMAINING IN PLACE AND RESTART THE ENGINE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL TURN ON. THIS HAPPENS EACH TIME WE DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG STAYS OFF ,REGARDLESS IF SOMEONE IS SEATING ON PASSENGER SIDE. SOMETIMES IT STAYS OFF FOR 10, 15, OR 30 MINUTES, AS IF THE SENSOR DOESN'T SEEM TO ACTIVATE. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST US DOING SOMETHING WRONG ,CAUSE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. SOMETIMES IT WORKS AND THEN SOME DAYS IT DOESN'T.IT HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING OR FIRST STARTING THE VEHICLE.WE CALLED WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND TOLD US OUR CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT,SINCE WE JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR IN OCTOBER 2015.

IR BAG DEPLOYED BUT NOT INFLATE MY WIFE, MY TWO CHILDREN 3 AND 7 AND I WERE ON I 65 N FREEWAY. AT AROUND 530AM ON WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 2016 WHILE DRIVING OUR 2015 NISSAN MURANO ON ICY ROAD IN NASHVILLE, TN AREA, A SUV/TRUCK LOST CONTROL ON THE 3RD LANE (WE WERE ON THE FAST LANE) AND CAME IN FRONT OF US. MY WIFE WAS GOING 50 MPH, ON ICY ROADS, THE ROADS WERE TERRIBLY BAD. THE COLLISION WAS PRETTY HORRIFIC, CAUSING THE DEPLOYMENT OF ALL THE FRONT AIR BAGS AND SIGNIFICANT FRONT END DAMAGE. MY SERIOUS CONCERN IS: THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE (WHERE I WAS SITTING) DEPLOY BUT DID NOT INFLATE, SMOKE WAS COMING OUT WITH A BAD ODOR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT OPTIONS DO I HAVE AT THIS TIME.
