The air bag light sometimes says on showing it is off even with my wife seating in the passenger seat. It does not happen all the time but every so often. The recall has been done on it but still happens every once in a while. I have had it at two different dealers but they could not find anything wrong. It has been reprogrammed three times to check it out and always checks out ok. My wife weights 170 pounds so it is not a weight problem. One dealer says that is working fine and when it happens just shut car down and restart. What about the times we may not notice that it is on and have an accident and have no air bag protection is what I told him and no answer from him. Another dealer just said it checks out ok and nothing else we can do. I called another dealer which said that the air bags are set for 160 pounds per the nhsta regulations so we are too close to the limit. I called Nissan customer service and got someone who said you have to take it back to the dealer to have it checked again. I will do it but it will check out ok as always. My daughter has a 2014 Nissan rouge sv and it has also happened to her too. When we notice the light on most of the time it was always in motion but also right after she sat in the seat before we started driving and then still stayed on when we drove away. From what I read on line their is lots of people with the same problem they cant seem to get fixed by the dealer or Nissan themselves not helping them either. It started about the middle of 2015 and dealers would not do anything about it until the recall came out. We now have 39000 miles and todays date of 05/9/2017 and still have the problem.
The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the air bag off warning indicator illuminated while the seat was being occupied. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was serviced per NHTSA campaign number: 16V244000 (air bags), but the failure recurred. In addition, when the front driver and passenger side windows were rolled up or down, the windows hesitated to operate and an abnormal clicking sound emitted from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the window regulators needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 19,000.
NHTSA recall 16V-244. We took our vehicle in to have the occupant classification system software reprogrammed. Since the reprogramming, the OCS light has come on while a passenger is in the seat. We took our vehicle back to the dealership on March 3 2017 to correct the problem. We were told Nissan is aware of the problem and suggests to latch the belt before starting the vehicle. If the light comes on, restart the vehicle to turn the light out. Nissan says no new correction available at this time. The dealership service department said Nissan probably will not do anything until there is a serious accident or death. The service writer also said the problem is in the light and that the air bag will deploy. Why should consumers have to initiate a quick fix by buckling seat belts before starting and having to restart if the light does not go out. How are consumers to believe that maybe the air bag will deploy. This is a very serious situation that Nissan seems unwilling to resolve long turn.
The air bag light on my dash is on and Nissan refuses to look into why it is on or if there is a fautly airbag unless I pay them to diagnose the issue and then pay them to fix the issue. This is a saftey concern,
I was involved in a car accident with $12,863 worth of damaged to the front of my car. Driver air bag did not go off..I hit the sterring wheel so hard that I fractured a rib and a swollen chest inside and out..about 8 months after I bought it there was a recall on the passenger side air bag but I am thinking that the driver side should be checked as well. I was going thru a green light on a city street and a lady ran the red light coming from the other way. I braked and laid on the horn when I saw her coming out and swerved my car but couldn't avoid her. First it was a no fault but then she was proven to go thru the red light. Lucky I had my seatbelt on but that didn't even stop me from hitting the steering wheel hard!!

Beginning in July I began having issues with the airbag light it was off when it should be on and on when it should be off it has been to the dealership on multiple occasions and multiple sources have looked at it but continue to blame myself and family. I have pictorial evidence to show people sitting in the seat in the airbag is off and pictorial evidence showing that the airbag should be on. It's been "repaired" multiple times to no success.
Passenger air bag light comes on either while driving with passenger in front seat. She is 5'4" & 200lbs. I have brought it back to the dealer 4 times, & last time they had it for 6 days & could nor replicate the problem. On a 1500 mile trip to fl from MA, it happened 4 times, & once with me in the passenger seat (I am 5'6" & 260 lbs) dealer will not replace sensors or computer until it sees the error. What do I do drive an unsafe vehicle" I am due to return to MA this Sunday, does my wife sit in the rear seat" this has happened at least 25 times in the last 3 months.
Although this issue is identified for certain 2015 Rogues, mine is not among them, however I am experiencing the following: The front seat passenger occupant classification system light in the dash is lit up whether or not an occupant is in the passenger seat. It started to come on intermittently when the seat was occupied and empty and now it stays on continuously once the engine is started.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. While in the process of making a right turn, another vehicle crashed into the front of the contact's vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. The driver sustained head, neck, and back pains due to the air bag failure. Medical attention was required and a police report was filed. The insurance company towed the vehicle to a repair shop. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was waiting for the manufacturer to provide a diagnosis to determine the cause of the failure.

There were no warning lights illuminated and the air bags did not deploy. There were no injuries and a police report was filed. The vehicle was driven to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed there was a defect in the air bags. The VIN tool was not used to verify a recall; however, the manufacturer added the vehicle to the recall list on May 23, 2016. The failure mileage was 16,900.
The passenger side airbag is turned off when someone is sitting in the seat. The seat belt warning light also is lit when the seat is empty of people or cargo.
The front passenger air bag indicator light lights up on car start indicating airbag is switched off despite the fact there is an adult passenger occupying the seat. Happens intermittently, passenger range from son, wife, friends, weighing from 120 to 290 pounds with height of 5.1 to 5.9 feet. The problem is bypassed or re-mediated by forcing the driver to stop pullover and then stop and start the car to activate the airbag on the passenger side. If the car is in the garage it is easy to stop and start (the engine) to get rid of this issue but when I am picking up someone from school or office it is a hassle and a danger as the bag is not activated unless it is observed and remediation process done (stop and start the car engine). The issue does not happen when the car is in motion. It only takes place when we offload or get someone in the passenger seat (front) in stationary, park or with brakes on and in drive gear on-boarding a passenger, . on going issue since past 8 months.
Airbag indicator light/front passengers seat comes on indicating it's not activated with a passenger in the seat while the car is in motion. Dealers says it is due to Nissan's new design and to have the passenger (my wife) sit with her butt against the back of the seat, legs straight out in front of her with feet on the floor. That's the fix ? well, it doesn't work. Nissan needs to make this right or buy the car back due to faulty equipment. This is a safety issue with lives in jeopardy.
The inactive passenger's airbag which indicates that the passenger airbag is disabled stays illuminated even when an adult sits in the seat. This is intermittent. Sometimes restarting the car will no other changes will fix the issue (the light stops being illuminated). I have no idea whether this relates to the airbag itself, the sensor, or the light.
