2018 Nissan Murano Air Bags & Restraints Problems

Power drivers side seat moving intermittently on its own. Pushing the seat and seatback foward. During this the seat cannot be moved back creating hazardous driving distractions.

The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Murano. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 mph, an accident occurred in front of her and she crashed into the passenger side of one of the vehicles. The driver side air bags did not deploy. The contact sustained injuries on her back, neck, right shoulder, left hand, both knees, and both ankles, her chest was sore, and she experienced headaches. The contact did seek medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not driveable. The vehicle was towed to a towing lot. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000.

DTC B00A0-00 (OCCUPANT DETECTION SENSOR UNIT) is stored And OCS zero point reset cannot be performed (continued on the next page) Red airbag warning came on located in dash when no passenger in seat but when a passenger is in seat it goes off however regardless the airbag reports that it is turned off due to the OCS cannot complete it’s scan. This puts all passengers at safety risk and they will not deploy if there is an accident. Has been verified by outside mechanic and have an appointment with Nissan dealership Monday however they will not tell me if it is covered under Powertrain warranty even though it is within the mile/time period. I’ve been told 2x that airbags are not covered but the warranty clearly states it includes airbags and electrical components.

THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT DOES NOT WANT TO SNAP INTO THE BELT HOLDER WHICH HAS THE RED BUTTON YOU PUSH TO RELEASE IT, I HAVE CHECKED EVERY TIME FOR ANY OBSTRUCTION AND NOTHING IS THERE, IT DOES FINALLY LOCK INTO THE SPOT AFTER ABOUT 10 TIMES OF TRYING THIS JUST STARTED HAPPENING 2 WEEKS AGO, THE CAR IS NOT THAT OLD TO BE HAVING SEAT BELT PROBLEMS LIKE THAT. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT TIME OF DAY IT DOES IT REGARDLESS AND ONLY WHEN PUTTING IT ON, IT RELEASES JUST FINE JUST WHEN PUTTING IT ON IT WILL NOT LATCH. JUST LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ME TO DO A VIDEO OF IT I NEVER MADE A VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 NISSAN MURANO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHIME WAS INAUDIBLE WHEN THE SEAT BELT WAS NOT LATCHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ORR NISSAN SHREVEPORT (844-244-2459, LOCATED AT 1240 E BERT KOUNS INDUSTRIAL LOOP, SHREVEPORT, LA 71105) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MODEL VEHICLE WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH A CHIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

THE DRIVER & FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELTS ARE LOCATED BEHIND THE SEATS OFF THE FLOOR OF THE REAR PASSENGER SEATS, SO WHEN ANYONE IS SITTING BEHIND THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER THE FEET OF THE REAR PASSENGERS CAN BE PLACED ON THE SEAT BELTS CAUSING THE FRONT PASSENGERS TO BE RESTRAINED.

I CONTACTED PELTIER NISSAN LAST WEEK TO SCHEDULE REPAIR OF THE AUDIBLE ALERT FOR DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT. I AM GETTING NO AUDIBLE ALARM WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITHOUT MY SEATBELT HOOKED. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TODAY, MAY 23, 2018 AND THEY HAD THE CAR FOR OVER 4 HOURS. WHEN THEY CALLED, THE SERVICE PERSONNEL TOLD ME THAT THEY CHECKED OTHER 2018 CARS ON THE LOT AND NONE OF THEM HAD AN AUDIBLE SEATBELT ALERT EITHER, SO THE VEHICLE IS FINE. STATING IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO 'DING' IF YOU DON'T HOOK YOUR SEATBELT, THAT IT'S ONLY SUPPOSED TO GIVE YOU A VISUAL ALERT. THEY WROTE THIS ON THE REPORT AND WROTE 'NORMAL OPERATION', ' NO ACTION'. WHEN I GOT HOME MY HUSBAND CALLED THE NHTSA TO ASK ABOUT FEDERAL LAW REGARDING THIS, HOWEVER, THE PERSON DIDN'T KNOW THE LAW AND REFERRED US TO CALL NISSAN! (THAT'S SCARY). SO MY HUSBAND CALLED NISSAN MAIN OFFICE, AND THE LADY LOOKED UP THE SPECS AND TOLD US THAT "YES, THE VEHICLE IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE AN AUDIBLE ALERT". WE THEN LOOKED IT UP IN OUR MANUAL, AND THE MANUAL STATES THERE IS AN AUDIBLE AND VISUAL ALERT FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WHEN SEATBELT IS NOT HOOKED. THIS IS DISTURBING THAT YOUR AGENT DIDN'T KNOW THE LAW, AND THAT NISSAN HAS EVEN MORE CARS ON THE LOT WITH NO AUDIBLE WARNING. MY CAR DINGS WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE LEFT ON, DOOR IS OPEN, OR KEYS ARE LEFT, BUT THEY THINK IT'S OK THAT IT DOESN'T ALERT ME WHEN I'M ZOOMING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH NO SEATBELT ON? I BELIEVE AN INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE DONE, AS THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND LIABILITY ON THEIR PART.
