“Front passenger air bag and status light indicator malfunction: my wife weights about 105 pounds, when she sits on the front passenger seat, the pass air bag off lights illuminates to indicate the front passenger air bag is off. The airbag should be on with her weight. It starts to happen intermittently since a year ago.”

“The contact owned a 2011 Nissan JUKE. While driving 7 MPH, the air bags deployed inadvertently and caused the contact to crash into a light pole. A police report was filed. The contact sustained injuries to the neck and a concussion that required medical attention. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was towed to a salvage yard and deemed a total loss. The manufacturer was notified and informed the contact that they would conduct an investigation. The failure mileage was 81,000.”

NHTSA complaint #11100605, filed 2018-06, 81,000 miles

“The passenger airbag disabled light comes on occasionally even when my daughter is seated in the passenger seat. She is approximately 100 pounds. It seems that the light is on more than it is off, which is concerning because in event of an accident, it would mean that the passenger airbag does not deploy.”
