“In about half of the drives passenger airbag off signal comes up when an adult passenger is seated in front, this happens for the same passenger. I was told by dealer that the weight limit is set around 120lbs which seems to high for small adults, females especially. This creates a safety hazard as we are using the vehicle with pasenger airbag turned off half the time.”
NHTSA complaint #10759826, filed 2015-08, 8,000 miles“Purchased a new 2015 Nissan Murano platinum at end of may. Noticed right away when my 95 pound son would sit in front passenger seat, the 'passenger airbag deactivated' light would come on and stay on. We inquired with our local dealer and they said everything was checked out and operating correctly. We were told the new seat sensors were very sensitive and my son needed to 'move around' a bit in the seat to activate the front passenger airbag. That never worked. …”

Shortly after the vehicle began to exhibit the same symptoms again. The passenger side air bag off indicator light was on even though there was a 160 lb. Person in the seat.
