Air bag light comes on.

Air bag light is on again. This car has had other recalls / complaints for airbags before. Airbags are safety , to protect drivers and passengers. This needs to be addressed.

I was mailed a recall for a warning light for the passenger air bag. It covers a time period of 15 years. I had the warning light come on as described in the mailer for the recall that was sent to me ( the original owner of a 2013 Nissan Altima ) and I set up an appointment with the dealership to have it repaired. No sooner did I leave after dropping off the vehicle that the dealership called to inform me that my VIN is not part of the recall even though it is clearly on the mailer. I for the life of me cannot understand how such an important safety issue can be excluded when the exact problem they listed is now occurring.

This car seems to have the same software issue as other altimas but the VIN does not record a recall. When someone is in the passenger seat, there is no dashboard confirmation and we are worried that the airbag might not deploy.

The indicator light on the dashboard has been lit for SEVERAL YEARS and remains lit showing that the STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG (a safety issue) is non-functioning. This is an electronic issue, and not the result of misuse. This has been reported several times already and nothing has been done. I AM NOT prepared to pay $5000 to have this analyzed abd repaired when it clearly is A SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE RESPOND.

The dashboard light shows that the steering wheel air bag is non functioning. This has been reported on line to Nissan for several years, and not one response from Nissan. The dealership indicates that it's a malfunction, probably a sensor, and it might require me to pay up to $5,000 to identify the deficiency. I view this as a safety issue and not one of misuse. Kindly advise when this can be resolved. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

OCS not working, passenger airbag is off when adult is in seat. Apparently was recalled before but seeing that despite being “fixed” and the problem came back. Hard to get in contact with anyone at Nissan or the dealerships to take responsibility for it.

I was traveling straight and made an abrupt turn. I lost control of my car and struck a pole, then hit a brick building. None of the airbags in my vehicle deployed and I hit my nose on the steering wheel and sustained other injuries.

OCS System for Passenger Airbag is not working properly. Went to two dealerships and they said it was not covered under the recall 16V-244. I spoke with Nissan Consumer Affairs and they said that the recall was addressed in the past but was not able to provide when and where. The dealerships I go to for servicing do not have any history of the OCS ever being repaired which means that it was probably repaired sometime with the original owner. Assuming it was actually replaced in the past, with replacement, the part is still failing and not having reached the 15 year mark for the car or the actual recall itself is alarming.

My vehicle has a code failure for the air bag sensor light. In order to pass inspection the light has to clear itself and it is not. I’ve had this vehicle since 2015 and have never had this issue. After talking to a representative at Nissan service department, he claimed that this is an issue he has with his Nissan as well leading me to believe that this is a manufacturer issue. Upon receiving a diagnostic there is no actual damage to the sensor in question it’s just malfunctioning. Below is an explanation from the service team at Nissan. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE: B00A0-00 OCCUPANT SENSOR MAL. CHECKED HARNESS FOR ANY DAMAGES AND FOUND NONE. UNPLUGGED UNIT AND SENSOR AND RECONNECTED THEM. ATTEMPTED TO CLEAR CODES DID NOT CLEAR, UNSUCCESSFUL. ATTEMPTED TO PERFORM ZERO POINT RELEARN, UNSUCCESSFUL. ATTEMPT TO CLEAR CODES AGAIN AND CODES DID NOT CLEAR

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the hood suddenly became unlatched, compromising front visibility. As a result, the contact veered into a light pole, damaging the bumper. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. The air bags did not deploy. A Police report was not filed, and no injuries were reported. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V244000 (Air Bags), and the VIN was included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 160,000.

Mileage: 160,000

Headlights

My airbag light has been illuminated for the past few months. It does not illuminate while someone is in the seat. Once reset, it stays off for a while. When checked, the mechanic informed me that the sensor in my passenger seat needs to be replaced. Due to this malfunction, the vehicle may improperly deploy airbags. This has not happened but I’m concerned that it could possibly happen.

Hello, I took my Nissan Altima into my local Nissan dealer for a hood latch recall on 11/13/2023. On 11/21/2023 at about 6:40 pm I was driving my car at a speed of maybe 45-50mph and my hood flew open hitting my windshield causing damage to my car, and scaring my son and I. I called the dealer the next morning and spoke to Anthony from the service department regarding this situation, and he stated a faulty latch could have been put on my car, causing this to happen. I sent pictures to him via email, and he advised that he would contact the director and call me back with an update. I received a callback within hours advising Nissan would cover the damages but I would need to contact consumer affairs to see which location could do the repairs as they were behind by 8 month at that location in particular and could not provide me with a loaner car. After a week of waiting for an update from a dealer to confirm repairs, I had the car towed to the Thomas Nissan of Joliet on 12/4/2023 as the car would not accelerate anymore due to the hard brake. As of today 12/18/2023 I have spoken to the service manager there and he advised parts came in but they do not have a date for repairs or approval on the acceleration issue and for now will only repair the body. I advised that I am extremely saddened by the way I am being handled after such a traumatic ordeal that could have been deadly or life altering. This recall was supposed to prevent this issue, and it only caused it. This recall hasn't done anything to fix the cars, and neither have three other hood latch recalls for Altima cars. Altima drivers are in danger from hoods that suddenly fly open while driving, and this situation just proves a problem. Nissan doesn't know how to properly repair it, and my car and I are proof.

Air bag not function

The 2013 Nissan Altima passenger light seatbelt dash light stayed on unless seatbelt was buckled with person in seat. Took to Nissan dealer who charged $150 to diagnose as a sensor control unit except when they cleared the codes the airbag light also came on and has stayed on. 1.Issue number one is Nissan had a recall on the sensor unit and Nissan refuses warranty. I called Nissan hotline and took back to dealer and warranty was still refused. 2.Issue number two the air bag light only showed up after the codes where cleared account to Nissan. This means that I was driving with the passenger air bag not functioning without any warning light showing not functioning air bag. I believe this is a warranty issue and also a safety issue where the car has a non-functional passenger air bag even though it does not show until the codes are cleared at a dealer. How many people are driving around not knowing Nissan is not giving a warning Light?

Deer run out in front of me. Airbags did not deploy.

Front passenger air bag warning lamp is illuminating signaling that the vehicle is not detecting an occupant in the seat. This is the second time this has occurred. The first time the sensor was replaced, (Pc214) NHTSA13V-069. It was covered under a safety recall in April 2013. I took the vehicle to Bowie Nissan, Bowie, MD and asked to have the sensor replaced at no charge as this is a safety issue. I provided the TSB from Nissan notifying the dealerships. The TSB reference number NTB19-071 September 12, 2019. I supplied the service writer a photo of the results of a diagnostic scan that stated occupant sensor was abnormal. The service advisor stated that it is a safety issue but they would have to charge a $189 diagnostic scan. If they confirmed the problem they would then make the repair and charge me the cost since it is not covered by Nissan. My car currently has mileage of 104,389 mile. I feel that this should be repaired by Nissan at no charge as this the second time this part has failed and that it is genuine safety issue. I feel that Nissan is dodging it responsibility to its customers and NHTSA.

The airbag sensor stop working. The airbag light stayed on whether someone was sitting in or not sitting in the passenger seat. The dealership stated there was an opening in the circuit and had to be re-builded. With the airbag not working this made the vehicle unsafe to drive and they could not tell me if the defect was with the driver side or passenger side airbag.

I had recall work done on my car was not properly repaired Issue still needs addressed Nissan refuses to look into they are telling me it was addressed. But the issue still remains. To fix the issue they want me to pay for it but I ma afraid that it may not be fixed properly again . This is the third accordance with this issue.

I took my vehicle in for assessment which costs around $160 as had many warning lights, including airbag. Nissan reviewed and informed my the passenger airbag needed to be replaced as the sensor was bad. There have been four previous recalls on Nissan Altima for airbag sensor issues and mine was not addressed. Now there is an issue and I'm told to spend money I don't have for an issue Nissan should fix. In the event somebody is hurt or worse, Nissan will be held responsible. Please take action and correct this issue and hold Nissan responsible.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, he noticed a burning smell coming through the A/C vents. The air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that unknown frontal air bag had deployed under the hood and burned; however, the mechanic could not repair the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to another mechanic who informed the contact that they could not repair the vehicle. An unknown dealer was contacted but provided no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 109,000.

Mileage: 109,000

My 2013 Nissan Altima had a malfunctioning air bag which "could or could not" deploy correctly, and at any time. I had to pay $2800.00 for replacement of this serious safety issue, and Nissan will not reimburse me. This air bag had simply stopped operating correctly, it had never been deployed. At the time of replacement the car had 86,000. I had no choice about replacing it unless I wanted my passenger to be at a serious safety risk.

Driver air bag light remains on. Passenger air bag was supposedly fixed per recall years ago, but now the driver air bag seems to be faulty. Car has not been in an accident. Attempts by dealer and other mechanics to reset the light have failed, indicating there is a problem. Nissan refuses to remediate and says that it is the owner's responsibility. Dealer has said that Nissan does not know what the problem is and even if airbag is replaced for a tune of $3K they do not guarantee that the problem will be fixed! There is no option for us and this is extremely unsafe.

Air bag sensors continue to come on even after repairs and reprogramming have been completed multiple times. Sensors do not recognize occupants thus causing a safety issue should there be a collision. Complaint was filed with Nissan Consumer Affairs and Nissan refuses to remediate even though recall was issued on this same issue several years ago. Nissan states outside of normal warranty. Nissan expects remediation costs ($800.00 plus) to be covered by consumer. I believe the sensor and airbag system is still faulty and was not properly remediated during the initial recall.

This vehicle has never been in an accident and the driver air bag light came on. Per dealer it was the air bag modular and the who driver seat. Needed to be replaced. I called Nissan and they wouldn’t cover the replacement, because this part is only covered up to 50,000 miles. I’m very concerned and disappointed this is a safety hazard and should have been covered we are talking about air bag which saves lives. While in the dealership getting my car repaired another customer came in with the same issue. Can you please investigate Nissan before the faulty air bag modular they are placing on their cars? I can see the part going out on vehicles involved in accidents , it doesn’t make sense on non-accident vehicles.

Airbag sensors are failing and Airbag warning light is on

Airbag sensors are failing and Airbag warning light is on

Airbag light ON displayed in Dashboard suddenly . Dealer not able to find the diagnosis code so it was reset and then after a month it came back again .

The airbag light came on in my 2013 Nissan Altima randomly while in park. I had it checked at an official Nissan Dealership on the 28th of June 2022. The service center informed me that the right back seat assembly needed to be replaced (can provide documentation). I was informed that none of the airbags would be deployed if I were to get into an accident/ My vehicle has around 130,000 miles. It is a 2013, so this should not be happening in my opinion. I have a 2006 vehicle and I have had other vehicles that I have never had this happen. The repair itself will cost close to two thousand dollars. I bought the vehicle for this the safety features. I had airbag protection on all sides of each door to include the traditional airbag in dashboard and steering wheel. This problem is unacceptable for an over $20,000 vehicle. I have contacted to the manufacturer, and they refereed me to your website for further investigation. I hope that you find this, if applicable to be a nationwide recall on the airbags. Please urge them to recall this vehicle for this defective item, my safety is at risk. The airbag system is a must in a vehicle. Please contact me regarding this matter and I will submit documents or answer questions. Respectfully, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Prior passenger airbag recalls on this year and model vehicle which have previously been “fixed”. However for the past 4 weeks, “passenger airbag off” light remains illuminated regardless of passenger being seated with vehicle seat belt latched. As well, the airbag red light is illuminated on driver dashboard continuously which results in none of the vehicles’ airbags being deployed in the event of a collision or serious collision. This is a huge safety concern for myself as a driver and all occupants of the vehicle.

My driver seat airbag light is on red on the dashboard. I have not had any accidents. It's a safety issue, not safe. If I have an accident, the bag will not depoly and a risk to my life. I called Nissan today and they said the air bags are only under warranty for 3 yrs or 60,000 miles. That is not acceptable as compared to other car makers and their warranties. Some car airbags last 10 years or the life of the car. Nissan customer service said, the car is not under the recall list. My car model has had several recalls. Case #46890272. Nissan consumer affairs said, sorry not covered. What if a life was lost. The cost of replacing airbag vs. safety of customer's life seems to be not important. I took the car to Nissan dealer and in order for them to look at the air bag light on, they had me pay $189.95 for a diagnosis to let me know the whole seat needs to be replaced. Unacceptable, I have not heard "full drivers seats replaced new. My car has no other problems. I have had for 9 years with 77,000 miles. Thank you for logging my complaint of the driver air bag.

The airbag light came on and I took it to the Nissan dealership and they reset it. A month later the light came back on and I took it back to the dealership now they say they can't reset it, it have to be replaced with a part that cause $2400 that I don't have. There was a recall on this problem but my vin# is not on the list as for many more which was stated that not all vin#'s were included at the beginning. I feel that Nissan should honor this recall especially in these trying times of our economy.

When Adult sits in passenger seat, the passenger (Air bag off)light is on. Which means the Air bag is off and will not deploy in a accident. When a heavy weight adult sits in the seat, the light turns off. Sensor might be bad in seat. My wife is 140 lbs. light stays on when she sits in the passenger seat .

1) Driver’s side airbag warning light is on all the time, constant red. 2) Transmission shift lever would not move out of park and had to be replaced @ 115,000 at a cost of $954. 3) The transmission failed and had to be replaced at 118,000 at a cost of $4,500. When I contacted Nissan about these issues, I was told that there was nothing they could do.

The airbag light has come on on the dash and does not go out. It doesn't matter if someone is in the seat with or without the seat belt. It stays on. Now I'm worried the airbag won't work in an accident or it might go off/explode at any time.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while driving on the highway at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the roadway and restarted the vehicle. The contact stated that an unknown warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the air bag module and ECU module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Update from previous complaint. On 1/24/22 I took the car for passenger air bag malfunction/OCS malfunction, the problem when there is a passenger on the car or not the passenger air bag light stays off and seatbelt light was on all the time. I brought the customer initiative related to NHTSA RECALL 16V-244 letter to the nearest dealership Nissan Duarte and they only performed zero reset calibration and it did the job for about 4 weeks and now the air bag light turns on and off intermittently. I tried to have a passenger on the car and turned the car on, the air bag light turns off, when I restart the car with just me in the car, the air bag light stays on, I was able to replicate this problem over and over. Safety is definitely at risk for everyone in the car, as the air bag system is malfunctioning. I tried contacting customer service to honor their customer initiative related to NHTSA RECALL 16V-244 and have them perform service bulletin NTB17-006 OCS system retrofit to no avail. I tried contacting Sarah Jay at 615-725-7585 Nissan specialist waiting her reply. Please investigate car is approximately 67000 miles.

My passenger air bag monitor seems to have a shortage. If there is no one in the passenger seat it will show on the dash as being on or when no one is in the seat it will show on and then sometimes off. Most days there isn't any symbol on the dash when someone is sitting in the passenger seat. I never know if the passenger seat belt is on or off. My second concern is my exterior headlights, they are so dim that I have to use my bright lights to see the roads. I have basically tried to stop driving very early in the morning, or at night.

Airbag sensor not working correct, which will cause airbags not to deploy.

WARNING LIGHT ON DASH FOR PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG AND PASSENGER SEAT BELT.

The airbag light came on the dash and stays on without the vehicle being involved in a crash. I took it to a shop to have it repaired and they stated it was a faulty airbag sensor.

Unknown, but the issue is beneath the passenger seat where it seems a wire has shorted out and even became disconnected and i am unsure but pretty positive that it has something to do with the passenger side airbags because shortly after a diagnostic scan shows several airbag fault codes. Also since then my car’s performance has changed and now i am receiving diagnostic trouble codes for different electrical components such as mas air flow sensor low voltage and its causing my car to stall at random times while driving and even on freeways. It also has caused my car to slow down while fully accelerating on the pedal. Very big safety concern as im driving on the freeway with my family in the car as well.

After OCS recall 16v-244. The system is malfunctioning again around 2019. The OCS light will stay off and the passenger seat belt light turn on as it register the seat as occupied and the only solution at that time was to click the seat belt in to simulate someone wearing the seat belt. No child can sit in the front due weight sensors not working. The safety of everyone is at risk at this point due to malfunctioning OCS. After several online research I found many Altima owners complaining about the problem but not able to afford the initial cost of checking the problem and the high cost of repairing the problem in the thousands, only Altima owner still under warranties are able to get relief and thus was not reported. Due to covid pandemic, I drive less and tried to stay away from dealerships as to do my own oil change, I was unable to solve the problem due to high cost they charge to fix it. I mention to them there was a recall recently and it should replace the ECU unit and provide similar fix free of charge. I am guessing the air bag still works as the air bag light is not on at this time. I tried contacting Nissan Customer service and was provided with a case #45568871, I was urged to contact NHTSA for further help with a campaign initiation. Thank you

There was no incident but I went to the Nissan dealership because my airbag sensor light was on and I was told that the passenger airbag or all of the cars airbags were malfunctioning and would possibly not deploy if in an accident. This is a major safety issue and there should be a recall on this.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that the “Air Bag Off” warning light remained illuminated for approximately a year. The contact stated that she took the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that the OCS sensor and module had failed and needed to be replaced. The failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V911000 (Air Bags) however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.

Very hard to steer and check engine light come on after a very loud beep.

When a passenger sits in the front seat the airbag light on the dashboard indicates the airbag isn't armed. I have had a Nissan dealer "fix" it three times and it starts again in a few weeks. First time dealer said a connection came loose when the seat was adjusted. Same thing the second time and the third time they said they secured the connection. the light came on in a matter of weeks again . I will take the car back for a fourth time soon. I asked the dealer service rep if there were any service bulletins regarding this problem, he said there weren't any, I feel that I can't have the only car with this problem. Whenever there is a passenger in the front seat I worry about being involved in an accident and their airbag not deploying.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Altima. The contact stated the driver’s side frontal air bag and the passenger’s side frontal air bag sensors were replaced under an unknown recall; however, the air bag sensor warning lights had been illuminating while starting the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who informed the contact that he would be responsible for the cost of repair because the VIN was not included in a recall related to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but did not provide any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 10,984.

Steering it’s heavy A/C stop working it self Airbag check light on dashboard

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO NHTSA AIR BAG SAFETY RECALL. THE CONSUMER STATED THE BACKSEAT AIRBAG FAILED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY.

Taken car in for State Inspection after a couple of days Air Bag light is continuing on. Had it checked out and came back on. Taken it to a Nissan Dealership said found Codes B0001 and B0002 B00A0 B0202 Stored in Air Bag System wanted to Replace Clock Spring/Spiral Cable Assembly said Found Internal Malfunction. Car only had 86,000 miles.. Replacement cost on me.

NHTSA-16V-244 Nissan refuses to fix this issue. My air bag light is off and will not go on if someone is sitting in the passenger seat. I need your assistance with Nissan.

The OCS System in this vehicle has been faulty and on recall several times. Nissan refuses to take accountability. Whenever we take the car to the dealership all they do is clear the code out of the system but they are refusing to repair the occupant safety sensor. This sensor defect can cause the airbags to not deploy in the case of an accident which is not only dangerous to the driver but to others on the road as well, it is potentially deadly. There are several people with the same complaint and Nissan is insisting that consumers need to pay out of pocket to fix the problem although they know their recalls have not been sufficient to remedy the issue. At this point, there needs to be some accountability and reassurance that drivers and their safety mean more than a company's bottom line. This is a potentially deadly hazard that they should be responsible for repairing. The AIRBAG OCS light continues to stay on the dashboard, and the passenger occupant light does not adequately work. There are others online complaining of the exact same issue.

My Occupant Classification System is not functioning correctly. There is a voluntary campaign related to this issue (Campaign ID: PC214, NHTSA# 13V-069) that covers 2013 Nissan Altima but for some reason my VIN is not covered under this. However the recall campaign is for the exact problem I am having. I want my VIN to be included in this campaign.

According to documents that Nissan has filed with the NHTSA, there are several factors that owners should consider related to the recall. Firstly, if the ODS system malfunctions, the passenger airbag will permanently suppress regardless of the occupant’s weight. If the system does malfunction, the (red) supplemental airbag warning light (SRS Light) will illuminate to alert the driver of the problem. Additionally, the (amber) front passenger airbag status light will illuminate to alert the front seat passenger. In December 2012, Nissan first became aware of the airbag defect due to an increasing amount of warranty claims regarding the SRS Light and/or the passenger airbag status light on 2013 Nissan Altima models. The automaker eventually linked the ODS system problem to a supplier (Tier 2 to Panasonic) problem. Evidently, its supplier had made changes to the sensor, which affected its performance. On February 21, Nissan determined that a recall was necessary after a two-month probe. Our vehicle was serviced in 2015 for this recall. Subsequently, we have had problems with the passenger airbag continuing to stay on. When trying to get an inspection it always has trouble because of this light. We have been told by Nissan it is not "their problem" however there are thousands of similar complaints. Nissan is refusing to remedy the situation that is a danger to vehicle owners and others on the road. Nissan needs to be held accountable for this known defect and error that can be a grave danger to human life. Subsequently, they need to issue a recall to further remedy the situation or allow vehicle owners the ability to have it fixed at no cost. This is a known error, this is not fair to consumer safety nor is it fair that a big corporation can get away with potentially harming others due to their negligence in repair.

Supplemental air bag warning light stays on. Dealer had reset it once but it came back on. According to the manual, "If this light is on, it could mean that the front air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag systems and/or pretensioner systems will not operate in an accident."

Both the driver and passenger side seat sensors do not detect when a person is in the seat, causing the air bags to remain off when vehicle is occupied. This is a common issue with the 2013 Altima, but Nissan has not issued a recall to have the seat sensors repaired.

My supplemental airbag light is on and I have not been in accident. I know that there was recall for passer side airbag light so I am wondering if there is something going on with driver side air bag.

DRIVING OUR VEHICLE PER USUAL, NO CRASHES, SAFELY MADE IT FROM POINT A TO B. THE NEXT MORNING, THE SENSOR FOR AIR BAGS COMES ON. IT CONTINUES TO STAY THERE WITH NO EXPLANATION FROM GOOGLE OTHER THAN THE SENSOR BEING AN ISSUE.

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ISSUE FROM CAMPAIGN ID #R1609 IN 2014 AND AGAIN IN 2016. THE SAME ISSUE IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS INCLUDES THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT SHOWING THE AIRBAG IS NOT ACTIVE WHEN AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE SEAT BELT LIGHT IS ALSO ON SHOWING THE PASSENGER IS NOT BUCKLED UP WHEN IN FACT THE SEAT BELT IS CONNECTED AND LATCHED. THIS HAPPENING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BOTH MOVING AND NOT MOVING. NISSAN ISSUED A CONSUMER AFFAIRS CASE NUMBER, BUT IS REFUSING TO FIX THE ISSUE UNDER THE RECALL DUE TO IT BEING FIXED TWICE BEFORE.

VEHICLE STOPPED AUTOMATICALLY (BY ITSELF) WHILE IN MOTION. LUCKY THAT IT WAS IN A PARKING LOT OTHERWISE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL ACCIDENT. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THEY MENTIONED ITS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND WILL NEED TO BE CHANGED. LOOKING IT UP ON GOOGLE MADE ME UNDERSTAND THAT ITS A COMMON ISSUE WITH NISSAN ALTIMA AND NISSAN HAS NOT TAKEN ANY STEPS OR OFFERED ANY HELP TO ITS CUSTOMERS TO SUPPORT FIXING THE ISSUES. ITS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN, KINDLY TAKE SOME ACTIONS!

AIRBAG SENSOR NOT DETECTING WEIGHT ON PASSENGER SEAT AT ALL TIMES. PROBLEM STARTED WHEN CAR HAD A RELATIVELY LOW MILAGE (UNDER 50K). DEALERSHIP SAID PROBLEM IS DUE TO AIRBAG MODULE WITH NO RECALLS ON THIS SPECIFIC CAR. AIRBAGS ON PASSENGER SIDE ARE COMPLETELY NOT FUNCTIONAL AT ALL TIMES. I WAS VERY HESITANT TO FILE A COMPLAINT UNTIL NOW.

THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM SENSOR WAS RE-PROGRAMMED YEARS AGO DURING THE RECALL AND NOW IT IS NOT RECOGNIZING WHEN PEOPLE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT NO MATTER THE VEHICLE CONDITION (STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ETC).

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DAH LIGHT INDICATED THAT THE AIRBAG WAS "OFF" WHILE AN ADULT WAS OCCUPYING THE PASSENGER SEAT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO DETERMINED THAT 2 AIRBAG MODULES WERE DEFLECTIVE, NOT WORKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. I CONTACTED NISSAN USA, FRANKLIN, TN AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT SAID THERE WAS NOT A CAMPAIGN OR RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT WOULD LOOK IN TO IT FOR A POSSIBLE "GOODWILL" COVERAGE. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP THAT INSPECTED THE CAR, NISSAN OFFERED TO COVER 60% OF THE COST. THIS MAY A GOOD "GOODWILL" GESTURE, BUT I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE POSSIBLE CATASTROPHIC BODILY INJURY THAT COULD HAVE OCCURRED IN AN ACCIDENT IF I HADN'T NOTICED THIS PROBLEM.

WITHIN ANOTHER TWO DAYS OF THIS REPAIR, THE AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC UNIT GIVING SAME CODE. NOW, RECOMMENDING REPLACING DRIVER SEAT AIRBAG. DEALERSHIP INDICATES THAT WHILE THESE ERROR CODES ARE FIRING, THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WOULD NOT GO OFF IN AN ACCIDENT.

THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA IN APRIL. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT TURNS ON WHEN PASSENGERS SIT IN THE SEAT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE FIRST FEW DAYS OF THE PURCHASE MEANING THE LIGHT SIGNALS AND NOTIFIES THE DRIVER THAT THE AIR BAG IS NOT ACTIVE OR ENGAGED. THIS DENOTES THAT AN AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WITH A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. EACH TIME THIS LIGHT HAS COME ON I HAVE SET UP AN APPTMENT WITH MYDEALER TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED. THE DIAGNOSTICS CHECK DOES NOT SHOW AN ERROR AND IS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE SENSORS HAVE BEEN RESET EACH TIME, BUT DOES NOT FIX THE ISSUE. MULTIPLE APPOINTMENTS WERE MADE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, BUT NONE HAVE RECTIFIED THE SITUATION. I HAVE ASKED FOR THE CAR TO BE REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES, OR CORRECT THE ISSUE. NONE OF WHICH HAS BEEN FULFILLED. THE REQUEST FOR A REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN SIDE TRACKED BY BRINGING THE CAR IN FOR ANOTHER LOOK TO FIND THE PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT MY WINDOW OF TIME FOR A REPLACEMENT HAS PASSED DUE TO TRYING TO FIND A DIAGNOSTICS ERROR CODE. A CLAIM WAS FILED WITH NISSAN CORPORATE CONSUMER AFFAIRS, BUT NO UPDATE OR PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE IN OVER TWO WEEKS. AS OF TODAY THE 11TH DAY SINCE MY LAST REPORTED ISSUE, THE CLAIM ASSOCIATE IS JUST NOW STARTING TO LOOK INTO THIS. THE CLAIM WAS CLOSED WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE STATING I COULD NOT BE REACHED, BUT NO PHONE CALL OR MESSAGE WAS MISSED OR LEFT FROM NISSAN CORPORATE.

THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS OF THESE RECALLS (I BELIEVE 2 OR 3) OUR AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASHBOARD AS WELL AS ON THE CENTER CONSOLE HAS INTERMITTENTLY COME ON AND OFF. WE HAVE TAKEN OUR NISSAN TO A LOCAL NISSAN APPROVED DEALER FOR ALL OF OUR REVIEWS/REPAIRS. APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AGO WE AGAIN TOOK OUR VEHICLE AND THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THE LIGHT WAS ON DUE TO OUR CAR BATTERY BEING LOW. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. MY HUSBAND USED A READER AND THE CAR'S BATTERY WAS PERFECTLY FINE. JUST RECENTLY ON TUESDAY WE AGAIN TOOK OUR CAR IN BECAUSE THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS NOT TURNED OFF. THEY HAVE INDICATED THAT OUR SIDE AIRBAG IS NOT WORKING, THEREFORE ALL OF THE AIRBAGS ARE OFF AND NOT PROPERLY WORKING. THE ESTIMATED REPAIR FOR THIS IS $1500 (NOT INCLUDING TAX). THIS ISSUE WITH AIRBAGS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. NISSAN HAS NOT MADE ANY EFFORTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM OTHER THAN A BAND-AID RECALL. THE AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR A SENSORY RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. PRIOR TO THIS THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT WORKED PROPERLY. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP ADJUSTED THE SENSORS AND SINCE THEN THE AIRBAG INDICATOR HAS NOT BEEN WORKING PROPERLY. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO HAVE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT READJUST THE SENSORS IN THE SEAT BUT THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

HELLO, MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG. SINCE AUGUST 2017, THE CAR'S AIRBAG ALARM LIGHT IS ON。 AFTER THIS HAPPENED, I WENT TO GAINESVILLE NISSAN TWO TIMES, BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOT BEEN SOLVED. THE FIRST TIME WAS ON 9/1/2017. THEY (GAINESVILLE NISSAN) CHARGED ME $34.78 AND TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS THE AIRBAG SENSOR, THE WARNING LIGHT WAS REMOVED AT THAT TIME. BUT AFTER ABOUT TWO MONTHS THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON THE DASHBOARD AGAIN. SO I WENT TO GAINESVILLE NISSAN THE SECOND TIME, ON 3/5/2018. THIS TIME THEY CHARGED $49.95 AND STILL SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG SENSOR. UNFORTUNATELY, THE AIRBAG ALARM LIGHT SHOW ON THE DASHBOARD ONE MORE TIME AFTER ABOUT ONE MONTH UNTIL NOW. AFTER THESE TWO REPAIRS, I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA AIRBAG HAS QUALITY PROBLEMS, AND GAINESVILLE NISSAN IS VERY IRRESPONSIBLE. AND NISSAN IS RECALLING CARS ON A LARGE SCALE BECAUSE OF AIRBAG PROBLEMS, I HOPE MY PROBLEMS CAN BE SOLVED, THANKS.

NISSAN ORIGINALLY SAID IN A LETTER THAT, "IF AT ANY TIME WITHIN THE NEXT 15 YEARS, THE OCS SYSTEM IN YOUR VEHICLE DOES NOT PERFORM AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, WE URGE YOU TO PLEASE SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AT YOUR NEAREST NISSAN DEALER. THE DEALER CAN CHECK THE OCS SYSTEM IN YOUR VEHICLE AND, IF NEEDED, PERFORM A ONE-TIME RETROFIT TO THE OCS SYSTEM FREE OF CHARGE. " SINCE THE OCS IS STILL HAVING ISSUES AFTER THE ORIGINAL RECALL, I THOUGHT IT WAS IMPERATIVE TO REPORT THIS HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIRBAGS MIGHT NOT DEPLOY IF I WERE IN A CAR ACCIDENT, WHICH COULD CAUSE UNNECESSARY INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH. CLEARLY THERE ARE STILL UNRESOLVED ISSUES WITH THE OCS THAT NEED ATTENTION.

RELIABLE NISSAN IN ALBUQUERQUE PERFORMED THE NTB16-052 REQUAL AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER REPAIR THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. TOLD THIS TO MECHANIC AND WAS CHARGED FOR THE REPAIR WHEN PICKING UP THE CAR. THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG ALWAYS WORKED. MECHANIC STATED THAT CAUSE OF AIRBAG WAS DUE TO A LOW BATTERY AND A ZERO POINT RESET HAD TO BE PERFORMED FOR THE FIX. HE STATED ANYTIME ON A NISSAN CAR IF THE BATTERY VOLTAGE DROPPED BELOW 12V THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON AND HAVE TO BE TAKEN IN FOR A ZERO POINT RESET AND A CHARGE OF $149.49. THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS. - FIRST IS THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG ON MY WIFE'S CAR ALWAYS WORKED AND AFTER THE RECALL IT DID NOT. REQUAL WAS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FIX BUT AFFECTED THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME ON. - SECOND ISSUE WAS THE CAR BATTERY WAS REPLACED WITHOUT BEING CONTACT FOR REPLACEMENT. THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH THE CAR BATTERY AS THE CAR DID NOT HAVE ISSUES STARTING. ASKED THEM TO PUT THE ORIGINAL CAR BATTERY BACK IN WHICH THEY DID AND CAR STARTED OK. HE SAID IT WAS MARGINAL. CHECKED THE BATTERY WITH MY CODE READER AND BATTERY WAS 12 VOLTS. CAR HAS BEEN STARTING OKAY FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. THE LAST ISSUE WHICH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT IS NISSAN STATING IF A BATTERY ON A NISSAN DROPS BELOW 12 VOLTS AND AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON AND MAY NOT WORK. IF THIS IS THE CASE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS THERE ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BE BATTERIES THAT GO LOW OR NEED A CHARGE AS IT IS A CONSUMABLE PART. A CUSTOMER WILL BE CHARGED FOR THE FIX AND WORSE OF ALL THE AIRBAG WILL NOT WORK UNTIL TAKEN TO THE SHOP. REALLY. I HAVE OWNED A CHEVROLET AND NOW TWO FORDS AND A NISSAN. ONLY NISSAN HAS THIS ISSUE? IF A CAR BATTERY IS GOOD ENOUGH TO START A CAR BUT IS BELOW 12 VOLTS THE AIRBAG WILL NOT WORK EVEN WITH THE ALTERNATOR CHARGING THE BATTERY. THIS IS WHAT SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS AT NISSAN ARE TELLING ME.

I PURCHASED A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015 WITH LESS THAN 43,000 MILES. THE CAR WAS REALLY GOOD GAS AND I WAS REALLY HAPPY WITH THE PURCHASE. IN FEBRUARY OF 2016 WHILE ME AND MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WE CAME TO A STOP AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. WE STARTED THE CAR UP FINE BUT AS SOON AS WE PLACED THE CAR IN DRIVE IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. WE REPEATED THESE STEPS OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL HE WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE CAR RUNNING WHILE IN DRIVE SO WE COULD PULL ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE WERE VERY CLOSE TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRING SO WE TOOK THE CAR TO ANTIOCH, CA NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO "DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEM BEFORE MOVING FORWARD. THEY KEPT OUR CAR FOR 3 DAYS TO NO AVAIL. THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT "DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEM AND TO COME PICK UP THE CAR. 2 DAYS LATER WE STARTED EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. WE DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR TO A DIFFERENT NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN CONCORD, CA HOPING THAT WE WOULD GET A DIFFERENT OUTCOME. NEEDLESS TO SAY THEY COULDN'T "DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEM FOR 2 WEEKS!! THE GUY IN SERVICES ADMITTED THAT THEY HAVE MANY CARS COMING IN WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND HE KNEW HOW TO GET THE CAR TO ACT UP SO THAT THEY COULD MOVE FORWARD. HOW CRAZY IS THAT??? HE CALLED ME 2 WEEKS LATER AND TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD TO "RESET" THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT EVEN THOUGH I WAS VERY CLOSE TO MY WARRANTY EXPIRING THAT IF THE PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN THAT THEY WOULD STILL HONOR THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THE PROBLEM PRE-EXISTED. NOT EVEN A WHOLE 2 MONTHS PASSED WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I WERE MOVING FROM CALIFORNIA TO TEXAS DID MY CAR STARTED HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS IT HAD BEFORE BUT THIS TIME I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. I WAS GOING 80 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY CAR SLOWED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 40 MILES PER HOUR WHILE DRIVING IN FRONT AND ON THE SIDE OF A BIG RIG!!!!

AFTER LATEST RECALL, AIR BAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON EVEN WHEN NO ONE IS IN SEAT WHICH GOES AGAINST OWNER MANUAL. DISABLE LIGHT SHOULD ONLY GO OUT WHEN A PERSON A LOWER WEIGHT IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT PER DESCRIBE IN OWNER MANUAL. NOW THE CONSTANT LIGHT IS DISTRACTING AND BRIGHTER THAN THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM AT NIGHT. PER THE MANUAL IF THE CAR IS STARTED AND IF SOME ONE AT A LOWER WEIGHT SITS IN CAR AFTER CAR IS STARTED THEN THE CAR SHOULD BE TURN OFF THEN BACK ON. I AM STRESSING THAT THE RECALL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BUT DISABLES THE AIR BAG WHEN NOT REQUIRED TO BE DISABLED.

AFTER THE 2016 RECALL, TO CORRECT THE FAULTY PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF CONDITION, WHEN A PASSENGER NOT MEETING THE MINIMUM AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT REQUIREMENTS IS SEATED THE THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE DRIVERS "AIR BAG OFF" WARNING INDICATOR IS NOW ALWAYS ILLUMINATED WHEN THE PASSENGER'S SEAT IS UNOCCUPIED. THIS CONDITION LEADS TO INCORRECT OPERATION OF THE WARNING INDICATOR WHICH NOW DISPLAYS THIS WARNING DURING A NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE. UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS WHEN THERE IS NO PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE, THE CONSTANT ILLUMINATION OF THE WARNING LIGHT WILL OVER TIME BE IGNORED BECAUSE OF ITS CONSTANT ON CONDITION. THE OPERATION OF THE THIS INDICATOR MAKES ABOUT AS MUCH SENSE AS HAVING THE "SEAT BELT UNFASTENED" WARNING LIGHT ALWAYS ILLUMINATED FOR AN UNFASTENED SEAT BELT FOR AN UNOCCUPIED PASSENGER SEAT.. THE INAPPROPRIATE AND MISLEADING OPERATION OF WARNING INDICATION LEADS TO THE OPERATOR'S DISREGARD OF THE WARNING INDICATOR'S SIGNIFICANCE. OVER TIME, THE DRIVER WILL ACCEPT THE ON CONDITION OF THIS WARNING LIGHT AS A NORMAL OPERATING INDICATION AND MAY LEAD THE DRIVER NOT RECOGNIZING THE SIGNIFICANCE IF THIS WARNING LIGHT REMAINING "ON" IN THE EVENT THAT A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER, MEETING THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT CRITERIA, OCCUPIES THE SEAT. THE OPERATION OF THIS WARNING LIGHT MUST BE RETURNED TO ITS PER-RECALL OPERATION OF ONLY ILLUMINATING WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED BY A PASSENGER NOT MEETING THE CRITERIA FOR AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. ANY OTHER OPERATION OF THIS WARNING LIGHT YIELDS ERRONEOUS MISLEADING PASSENGER SAFETY INFORMATION TO THE OPERATOR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS SAFETY CONDITION MUST BE CORRECTED.

MY ONLINE RECORD STILL SHOWS IT IS NEEDED (NTB16-011; EXTERNAL RECALL NUMBER: PC426) I DID NOT RECEIVE NOTIFICATION OF THE ABOVE RECALL UNTIL MONTHS AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE. I WENT AGAIN FOR THE ABOVE REF. RECALL AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART IN STOCK AND IT COULD BE "QUITE SOME TIME" AND WOULD CALL ME. IT HAS BEEN OVER TWO MONTH AND NO CONTACT. I JUST RECEIVED A SECOND MAILING ON THIS RECALL STATING THAT I HAD NOT TAKEN CARE OF IT. THIS IS A FRUSTRATING AND A TIME WASTING PROCESS. RECALL: PASSENGER A.B. (NTB16-052? R1609? NOT CLEAR FROM THE ONLINE DESCRIPTION WHAT THIS IS) I NOW SEE THAT MY PASSENGERS HAVE BEEN AT RISK OF AN INOPERABLE AIR BAG. I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED NOTICE THIS THIRD RECALL WHEN LOOKING UP THE OTHER TWO RECALLS ONLINE. THUS I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE BENEFIT OF THIS SAFETY FEATURE THAT I PAID FOR THREE YEARS AGO. BEYOND THE TIME AND COST OF TRAVELING TO/FROM AND WAITING FOR THESE ERRORS TO BE FIXED IS THE LENGTH OF TIME OUR MONEY HAS BEEN WASTED ON A FEATURE WE PAID FOR. THERE NEEDS TO BE MONETARY COMPENSATION FOR THESE SIGNIFICANT ERRORS AND PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO KEEP STATING "AT NO COST" BECAUSE THERE IS COST IN TIME AND MONEY TO CONSUMERS. THERE IS ALSO AN EMOTIONAL COST WHEN WE WERE AND ARE STILL AT RISK BUT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE LIGHT TO TURN OFF IS TO SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT WITH THE PASSENGER STILL IN THE SEAT. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG "OFF" LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN I START THE CAR FIRST, AND THEN THE PASSENGER SITS IN THE SEAT. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THE LIGHT ILLUMINATE WHEN MY 5 LB WORK BAG IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND I TAKE A SHARP TURN AROUND A HIGHWAY RAMP (TURNING FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS). THIS ALL OCCURS EVEN AFTER THE CAR WAS RE-PROGRAMED UNDER RECALL 14V138000

MY ALMOST 14 YEAR OLD SON WHO IS 106 LBS. SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AS WELL AS A MALE FRIEND WHO IS 220. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINS "OFF" WHEN IT SHOULD BE ENGAGED. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY RESET IT AND MY SON MAY NOT BE "HEAVY ENOUGH". I AM VERY UPSET AT HOW THEY HANDLED IT (THEY DIDN'T) AND I CAN GUARANTEE IF THERE IS AN INCIDENT THAT HAPPENS AND THESE WERE DEFECTIVE, THERE WILL BE ISSUES. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR TO GET IT TO GO OFF. I AM NOT DOING THAT OR BUYING IT. I WAS TOLD THAT IF NISSAN DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM FOR THIS SPECIFIC YEAR AND MODEL, THAT THE RECALL WITH NOT BE COVERED. IT IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE. SECONDLY, I MADE AN APPT 3 WEEKS IN ADVANCE FOR MY HOOD LATCH TO BE REPAIRED TO ALLOW FOR THE PART TO GET IT. I DROVE 1.25 HRS TO GET IT REPLACED, SAT THERE FOR 2 HOURS TO BE TOLD THAT THEY WERE PUTTING IN IT AND THEN "DID NOT HAVE IT IN". THEY HAD ME TAKE A RENTAL CAR HOME "TO HAVE A SUPERVISOR LOOK AT MY AIRBAG" AS IT WAS OVER THE WEEKEND. I GOT A DISGUSTING CAR FOR 5 DAYS TO FIND OUT NOTHING HAD BEEN REPAIRED. I "NEED TO STOP IN WHEN I AM IN TOWN SOMETIME" TO GET MY HOOD LATCH REPLACED. REALLY???? I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO BILLION NISSAN IN SIOUX CITY. POOR SERVICE. I WOULD LIKE BOTH OF THESE ISSUES TAKEN CARE OF PROMPTLY. ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS!

LAST YEAR THERE WAS NHTSA RECALL 15V-681 WHICH RELATES TO THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS). THIS IS THE CONTROL UNIT THAT TURNS THE AIR BAG PROTECTION ON/OFF BASED ON THE SIZE OF THE PASSENGER... I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER BUT THE ISSUE CONTINUES. SOME TIME LATER WHEN I ASKED THE SERVICE MAN ABOUT IT, THEY SAY THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND WANT TO CHARGE ME TO CHECK AND FIX THE OCS. WHICH IS PART OF THE NHTSA RECALL 15V-681 WHAT IS MY RECOURSE? I HAVE TWO KIDS, A 16 AND A 20 YEARS OLD. THE AIR BAG WILL BE TURNED ON OR OFF ON EITHER OF THEM RANDOMLY. IT ALMOST SEEMS THAT THE TEMPERATURE OF THE DAY HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT. ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE CAR IS THAT THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON AFTER THE PEDAL HAS BEEN RELEASED AND THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN NORMALLY... AGAIN MY GUESS IS THAT IT SEEMS TO OCCURRED MORE WHEN IT IS COLD BUT IT IS INTERMITTENT. I HAVE TAKEN A VIDEO OF THE OCCURRENCE TO SHOW THE DEALER BUT THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT IT. I CANT SEND YOU THE VIDEO BECAUSE IT IS TOO BIG (MORE THAN 20MB) AND YOU ONLY ALLOWS A FILE NO BIGGER THAN 5 MB THE ISSUE IS STILL GOING ON BUT SINCE IT IS INTERMITTENT THE DATE BEFORE IS ONLY A REFERENCE

I HAVE HAD ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. THE YELLOW LIGHT ON THE THE DASH WILL SOMETIMES STAY ON, INDICATING THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DISABLED, EVEN WITH A 150 LB ADULT SITTING PROPERLY IN THE SEAT. IF I PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART, IT USUALLY GOES OUT. I HAVE REPORTED THIS NUMEROUS TIMES TO THE DEALER (I ALSO HAVE PICTURES OF THE LIGHT STAYING ON), BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THEY CAN, BUT CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE REPORTED THIS TWICE ON THIS SITE (NHTSA), BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN SOLVED. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT BOTH NISSAN AND NHTSA DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE, AS MANY, MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM ON THIS SITE DURING THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. WHEN SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE THEIR PASSENGER AIRBAG FAILS TO WORK, MAYBE SOMETHING WILL GET DONE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 3.5 SV ALTIMA (V6) AT AROUND 35-40 MPH, ON A CITY STREET, WITH MY WIFE SEATED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG 'OFF' LIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE DASHBOARD WAS ILLUMINATED. I ASKED MY WIFE TO SHIFT A BIT WHILE BEING IN HER SEAT, WHICH SHE DID, BUT THE AIRBAG 'OFF' LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED THROUGHOUT THE JOURNEY OF ABOUT 15-20 MINS. THIS WAS DANGEROUS AND SOMEWHAT UNNERVING AS THE 'PASSENGER AIR BAG' WAS SHOWING AS 'OFF' INSPITE OF A PASSENGER BEING IN THE SEAT. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND FIXED.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN TWICE NOW FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINING ON WHEN A PASSENGER OVER 130LBS IS SEATED IN THAT SEAT. I FIRST HAD THIS CHECKED BY KAYSER NISSAN IN MADISON 1/10/14 AND WAS TOLD NO PROBLEM FOUND THEN THE RECALL CAME OUT AND THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AGAIN AT KAYSER NISSAN AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AGAIN WITH PERSON IN SEAT AND VEHICLE HAS TO BE PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED FOR IT TO RESET PROPERLY. THIS IS VERY INCONVENIENT AND UNSAFE FOR PASSENGERS. THE VEHICLE IS MOSTLY DRIVEN WITHOUT PASSENGER SO THIS PROBLEM IS NOT NOTICED RIGHT AWAY MAKING IT HARD TO FILE A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FIRST COMPLAINED ABOUT WITHIN FIRST YEAR AND UNDER WARRANTY.

CAR JUTTER & STALLED WHEN CAME TO A STOP. TOOK CAR TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY PLACED CAR ON DIAGNOSTIC WHICH CAME BACK CLEAR AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM FOR 2 DAYS. RECEIVED CAR BACK AND CAR DID THE SAME THING, TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT SAID THEY HAVE HEARD OF SAME COMPLAINTS BUT THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR 5 DAYS AND CLAIM TO NOT BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. CAR WARRANTY IS ALMOST UP AND NISSAN SEEMS TO BE OF NO HELP. PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT ALSO STAYS ON FROM TIME TO TIME.

FOR 3 YEARS WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE, WITH NO RESOLUTION. THE DASHBOARD LIGHT SIGNALING THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS PROPERLY ACTIVATED FOR AN ADULT OCCUPANT COMES ON OR DOES NOT COME ON WHEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO. THIS OCCURS WHETHER THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR ON THE MOVE. THE DEALER HAS TOLD US NOT TO PUT ANYTHING ON THE PASSENGER SEAT = RIDICULOUS. THE DEALER THEN SAID THAT IT "REPROGRAMMED THE SYSTEM". THEN THE DEALER TOLD US THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. I BELIEVE THIS HAS BEEN DONE 2 X. WE LAST HAD THIS ATTENDED TO SEPT 15, 2015 BUT THE "SO-CALLED REPAIR" DID NOT WORK AGAIN. THIS AIR BAG ISSUE IS SERIOUS, AND WE FEEL UNSAFE IN THIS CAR, THEREFORE WE HAVE DRIVEN LESS THAN 2000 MILES IN 5 MONTHS - THE CAR SITS IN THE GARAGE. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTANT = WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY - WE MUST ASSUME IT IS MALFUNCTIONING!

THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO COME ON AND OFF WHEN SOMEONE SAT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT AIRBAG OFF. I HAD IT CHECK AND IT WAS RESET IN 4/2014. IT HAS INDICATED IT WAS OFF RANDOM TIMES WHEN THERE WAS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR THE RECALL OF FRONT HOOD LATCH AND HAD THE AIRBAG SENSOR CHECKED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE SENSOR AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND IT WOULD COST $700. FOR PART AND LABOR. I DO NOT FEEL IF A SENSOR IS NOT WORKING THAT IS NOT FROM A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE. IT A DEFECTED PART AND IT SHOULDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE WARRANTY. ESPECIALLY BEING THE CAR IS ONLY A 2013. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO GO THROUGH NISSAN. THEY HAVE CONTINUE TO TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. I TRIED EXPLAINING HOW THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I GOT THE CAR AND I'M NOT SO SURE THEY ARE HEARING WHAT I'M TELLING THEM. THEY SAY THE SAME THING AS IF THEY ARE READING A SCRIPT. THERE IS TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. THIS IS A DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REPLACED FROM THE DEALERSHIP. DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS WHERE I NEED TO GO FROM HERE?

RANDOMLY, THE AIRBAG SENSOR FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE INDICATES AS BEING OFF EVEN WHEN THERE IS SOMEONE SEATING ON IT. THIS ISSUE (SUPPOSEDLY) WAS ALREADY BEEN LOOKED AT BY THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WHEN A RECALLED WAS IMPLEMENTED FOR THIS ISSUE. BUT IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN.

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT TURNS OFF (LIGHT SWITCHES ON) EVEN WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE CARSEAT. THE PROBLEM WAS CONSISTENT AROUND 1.5 YEARS BACK AND THERE WAS A NISSAN RECALL THAT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM AFTER 2 ATTEMPTS. BY CONSISTENT, I MEAN THE AIR BAG WAS DEFINITELY SWITCHED OFF REGARDLESS OF WHETHER A PASSENGER IS PRESENT OR NOT. NOW THE PROBLEM IS BACK ALTHOUGH THE LIGHT DOES NOT TURN OFF CONSISTENTLY. SOMETIMES THE LIGHT IS OFF AND SOMETIMES IT IS ON. I WROTE TO NISSAN ABOUT THIS. UNFORTUNATELY, MY CAR JUST WENT OFF WARRANTY AND THE DIAGNOSIS ITSELF IS $161.

WE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE THAT MANY HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATING THAT IT IS OFF BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH WEIGHT IS BEING DISTRIBUTED IN THE SEAT TO REGISTER WHILE DRIVING. MY WIFE IS 140 LBS AND IT IS CONSTANTLY TURNING OFF AND ON. TWO NISSAN DEALERSHIPS TOLD MY WIFE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BUT THAT SOME WOMEN SIT ON THE SIDE OF THE SEAT AND SO THEY ARE NOT SITTING CORRECTLY FOR IT TO REGISTER. SO... I BEGAN SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT (I'M 6'3 225 LBS) AND IT STILL DOES IT. I LOVE NISSAN CARS AND TRUCKS BUT THIS IS A LUDICROUS ANSWER!! HOW CAN YOU SIT IN A SEAT OF A CAR WRONG!!!!

IF I'M DRIVING, WHEN I TRY TO STOP THE CAR, I PRESS THE BRAKES THE BRAKES DO NOT ACTIVATE. THE CAR DOES NOT STOP IT KEEP ROLLING ON. I HAVE TO PAT THE BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR OR PRESS THE BRAKE A SECOND TIME FOR THE BRAKES TO CATCH. IT FEELS AS THOUGH IT SLIPS PASS THE BRAKES! I ALSO TOOK MY CAR TO NISSAN FOR THE LATCH RECALL EVERY SINCE I GOT THE RECALL "FIXED" THE PASS AIR BAG LIGHT POPS ON WHEN NO IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND MY CAR WILL STATE THAT I HAVE 100 MILES (MORE OR LESS) OF FUEL BUT MY FUEL GAGE WILL READ EMPTY AND I WILL NEED GAS AS THE GAUGE STATES!

TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP WHERE WE BOUGHT IT. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY RESET THE COMPUTER. PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WITH THE DEALER. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS A WEIGHT ISSUE WITH THE PERSON SITTING IN THE SEAT. 140 LBS AND UNDER THE LIGHT MIGHT COME ON. LOOKING ONLINE, IT LOOKS LIKE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN LIGHT IS ON, AIR BAGS WON'T DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT OCCURS.

THIS VEHICLE HAD ALREADY HAD THIS ISSUE SERVICED UNDER THE PREVIOUS RECALL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER LAST WEEK. THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY SENT ME HOME WITHOUT MAKING ANY REPAIR.

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA SV PURCHASED BRAND NEW, APRIL 2013.. MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT DETECTOR IS CONSTANTLY INTERMITTENTLY LIGHTING UP WHEN MY DAUGHTER, WHO IS 18 SITS IN THE SEAT..SHE WEIGHS ABOUT 115 LBS. TO GET THE LIGHT TO TURN OFF, AND THEREFORE HOPE THE AIRBAG WORKS, IF GOD FORBID WE GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE CAR, HAVE HER GET OUT, THEN GET BACK IN AND THEN START THE CAR AGAIN..THIS USUALLY RESULTS IN THE LIGHT GOING OUT AND THEN WE CAN PROCEED "SAFELY" ON OUR WAY, WITH THE AIRBAG HOPEFULLY OPERATIONAL. THAT'S PRETTY BAD WHEN WE ALREADY HAVE A RITUAL TO FIGURE THIS ISSUE OUT, DON'T YOU THINK?? I DID TAKE IT TO NISSAN WHERE I BOUGHT IT NEW, 2 YEARS AGO AND THEY TOLD ME THAT SHE DOESN'T WEIGH ENOUGH FOR THE SENSOR.. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO WEIGHS 180 LBS AND THE LIGHT ALSO OCCASIONALLY GOES ON WITH HER IN THE SEAT!! SO, BY NISSAN'S REASONING, THEN 180 LBS ISN'T ENOUGH TO ACTIVATE THE SENSOR???? SHE LOVES IT BECAUSE IT MAKES HER FEEL THINNER, BUT SERIOUSLY, THIS IS RIDICULOUS! SOMETHING IS OBVIOUSLY WRONG WITH EITHER THE AIRBAG OR SENSOR! NOW, I SEE NISSAN HAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH FOR 2 YEARS, BUT SOMEHOW, MY CAR IS EXCLUDED WHEN THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH. WHAT IS THE REASONING HERE?? ALSO, I LIVE IN FLORIDA, WHERE THE HUMIDITY IS VERY HIGH AND I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN MANY ISSUES WITH THE TAKATA AIRBAGS WHERE THE HUMIDITY IS HIGH, LIKE HERE WHERE I LIVE AND DRIVE. PS,...OTHER THAN THIS, I REALLY DO LOVE THIS CAR..WISH THIS WOULD GET STRAIGHTENED OUT, OR NISSAN MAY HAVE SOME LAWSUITS ON THERE HANDS WITH REGARDS TO THESE AIRBAGS!!

THE CAR RANDOMLY DISPLAYS THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG DEACTIVATION LIGHT WHEN THE SEAT IS EITHER OCCUPIED BY SOMEONE WEIGHING 130-180 POUNDS OR THE SEAT IS EMPTY. ALL COMPONENTS OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SYSTEM HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND RECALL NUMBER 14V138000 HAS BEEN PERFORMED. SINCE THIS RANDOMLY HAPPENS, NISSAN SAYS "IF THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY CANNOT AND WILL NOT FIX IT." THIS STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES AND HAS CONTINUED SINCE. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE ROADWAY AND THE LIGHT WILL SOMETIMES COME ON. A NISSAN REP SAID TODAY, OCTOBER 29, 2015, THAT IF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS TO DEPLOY WHILE OCCUPIED BY MY WIFE(5' 5" 180 POUNDS) OR DAUGHTER(4' 10" 130 POUNDS) THAT "THEY WOULD BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED." I HAVE PICTURES AND VIDEOS SHOWING THE MALFUNCTION. IT HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS DATES.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT DOES NOT CYCLE OFF WHEN A ADULT IS ON BOARD. THIS OCCURS APROX 15% OF THE TIME AND REQUIRES THE CAR TO BE SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED. THIS MITIGATES THE PROBLEM MOST OF THE TIME. CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIRS FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 3 OCCASIONS TO INCLUDE THE SPRING 14 ALGORITHM RECALL. IF ANYTHING, THE COMPUTER REPROGRAM MADE IT WORSE. NISSAN DEALERS HAVE NO FIX AND IGNORE THE PROBLEM. DEALER TREATS ME LIKE IT IS MY IMAGINATION EVEN THOUGH I HAVE VIDEO RECORDED THE LIGHT ON AT SPEED SEVERAL DOZEN TIMES. MY CAR IS A LEASE AND IT IS GOING BACK IN 6 MONTHS. THIS PROBLEM IS DEPENDENT ON THE "BOOT" PROCESS FAILING. THE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON DURING TRAVEL IF IT PROPERLY CYCLES WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED. IF THE LIGHT SUCCESSFULLY GOES OUT 5 SECONDS AFTER START, IT STAYS OUT. I AM ASSUMING THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS ENGAGED AND WILL FUNCTION?

MY PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON WHEN AN ADULT IS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. SOMETIMES IT COMES ON WHEN NO ONE IS SEATED. SOON AFTER THIS FIRST HAPPENED, I RECEIVED A RECALL, AND ON MAY 9, 2014, TOOK MY CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER. IT WAS "REPROGRAMED" AND DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT BACK ON JUNE 6, 2014, AND THE REPORT SAYS "GENERAL MAINTENANCE". THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. I TOOK IT AGAIN ON NOV 14, 2014, AND THE "STRAIN GAUGE" WAS RESET . I WAS TOLD TO RETURN IF PROBLEM PERSISTED, WHICH IT DID (AND CONTINUES TO DO). VERY FRUSTRATED, I RETURNED JUNE 25, 2015. THE PROBLEM "CANNOT BE VERIFIED", SO NOTHING WAS DONE. I RETURNED AGAIN SEPT 8, 2015 AND WAS REALLY TRULY UPSET THAT THIS SERIOUS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM IS STILL UNABLE TO BE ELIMINATED. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A "DESIGN" PROBLEM AND CANNOT BE FIXED BY MECHANICS. I WAS TOLD ENGINEERS HAVE BEEN CALLED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX IT. I FIND IT HARD TO IMAGINE THAT NISSAN WANTS TO DUST THIS OFF. IT CANNOT BE FIXED? I IMAGINE THE NEXT TIME I GO IN THEY WILL POKE OUT THE LIGHT BULB, OR PERHAPS PUT BLACK TAPE OVER THE LIGHT SO IT WON'T "DISTURB" ME. SHOULD I JUST "NOT WORRY"? WHAT IS THE REMEDY, AND HOW MUCH LONGER DO I HAVE TO DRIVE THE CARE WITH THE WORRY THAT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT OPERATE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH? I FIND THIS INTOLERABLE.

MY CAR WAS A PART OF THE ALTIMA AIRBAG RECALL IN 2014. THE ACTION WAS TAKEN BY THE DEALER. THE ALTIMA HAS ALWAYS HAD THE ISSUE OF THE PASSENGER SEAT NOT REGISTERING IT'S OCCUPANT ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS. THE ONLY WAY TO HAVE FIXED THIS WAS TO SHUT MY CAR OFF AND RECALIBRATE THE SYSTEM. TODAY, NOTHING WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT YET THE AIRBAG AND SEATBELT LIGHT WERE LIT. THIS MEANS THAT THE ALTIMA BELIEVED SOMEONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE FOR A PASSENGER TO SIT IN THE ALTIMA.

IT SHUDDERS, GRUMBLES AND THE WHOLE CAR VIBRATES INTERMITTENTLY. FIRST THE DEALER SAID IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AND REPLACED IT, THAT DIDNT FIX IT SO THEY SAID IT WAS A BOLT, THAT WASNT IT, FINALLY THEY JUST GAVE UP AND SAID THEY DONT KNOW AND "THEY CANT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM" ITS ALL A SCAM.

WHEN WE MET WITH [XXX], FROM NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, THE ENGINEER, HE STATED THAT THIS AIRBAG IS UNDER RATED AND CAUSES MORE HARM THAN GOOD. WHY WOULD AN ENGINEER FROM THE FACTORY SAY SOMETHING THIS RIDICULOUS, THIS IS WHY WE BOUGHT THE CAR..FOR THE SAFETY RATINGS AND ALL THE AIRBAGS. HE STATED THEY ONLY CAUSE BLACK EYES AND BROKEN NOSES, TO WHICH I SAID "ITS BETTER THAN THE ALTERNATIVE..,DEATH. I AM NOT FEELING SAFE IN THIS CAR AND HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP US GET IT RECTIFIED.

LIKE MANY MANY OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED, MY AIRBAG SENSOR IS STILL NOT WORKING CORRECTLY AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS ASSURED BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS WORKING PROPERLY EVEN THOUGH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT SHOW THAT THE AIRBAG IS OFF WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. I'M NERVOUS EVERY TIME I SEE THE LIGHT ON (MEANING THE BAG IS OFF) WHEN MY WIFE IS IN THE CAR WITH ME. IF WE GET INTO AN ACCIDENT ITS A CRAP SHOOT WHETHER THE AIRBAG WILL REALLY WORK OR NOT. *TR

I'VE HAD THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT THAT IS IN THE CENTER OF DASH COME ON MULTIPLE TIMES EVEN WITH AN ADULT SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP (8/9/14), THEY SAID THIS IS NEW ISSUE AND THAT THEY WOULD DO SOME SORT OF SOFTWARE UPDATE AND THE PROBLEM WILL BE SOLVED. THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK IN (11/19/14) AND THEY SAID THE UPDATE MIGHT NOT HAVE TAKEN PROPERLY, SO THEY DID THE UPDATE AGAIN. WELL IT TOOK SEVERAL WEEKS, BUT THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR IN (3/16/15) AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL DO A COMPLETE REPROGRAM JUST IN CASE THERE WAS A LINGERING ISSUE FROM LAST TIME. WELL, THAT DID NOT WORK. THE ISSUE IS STILL HAPPENING AND I TOOK THE CAR IN YESTERDAY (4/14/15) AND THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME TODAY AND SAID THAT THEY PERFORMED A FUNCTION TEST AND COULDN'T FIND ANY ERROR CODES, SO THEY SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. THEY SAID THAT IF IT HAPPENS TO BRING IT IN ASAP. WITH THIS ISSUE BEING SO INTERMITTENT, I HAVE RESORTED TO TAKING PHOTOS OF PEOPLE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF THE CAR WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I FEEL THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED MORE SERIOUSLY. *TR

THE LIGHT THAT INDICATES MY PASSENGER FRONTAL AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IS COMING ON WHEN A NORMAL SIZED ADULT IS IN THE FRONT SEAT. APPARENTLY, THIS IS TIED TO A SENSOR WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO DISABLE THE AIR BAG IF SOMEONE HAS A SMALL CHILD (BETWEEN 30 LBS AND 80 LBS) IN THE FRONT SEAT DUE TO THE INCREASED RISK OF INJURY WITH AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR, IT HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 10% OF THE TIME I HAD AN ADULT IN THE FRONT SEAT. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE INTO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THIS ISSUE. ONCE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS INSPECTED WITH NO ISSUES FOUND. AND THE SECOND TIME, THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED A RE-PROGRAMMING OF THE COMPUTER ACCORDING TO A TSB FROM NISSAN THAT THEY HAD ON FILE. SINCE THE RE-PROGRAMMING WAS DONE, THE FREQUENCY HAS INCREASED TO ROUGHLY 30% OF THE TIME AN ADULT IS IN THE FRONT SEAT. THE SIZE OF THE PASSENGER IS IRRELEVANT. IT HAPPENS EQUALLY OFTEN WHEN MY 135 LB WIFE IS IN THE FRONT SEAT AS IT DOES WHEN MY DAD OR FATHER-IN-LAW (BOTH ROUGHLY 180 LBS - 200 LBS) ARE IN THE FRONT SEAT. I LOVE THE CAR, BUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THE PREVIOUS RECALL/TSB HAS NOT RESOLVED OR EVEN IMPROVED THE ISSUE. IT ACTUALLY MADE IT WORSE. *TR

I NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON (INDICATING NO ONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT) WHEN AN ADULT WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT. I CALLED THE DEALER AND ALSO HEARD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. DEALER TOLD ME THAT A FIX WAS UNKNOWN AT THE TIME AND THAT I SHOULD WAIT FOR A RECALL NOTICE. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE MANY MONTHS LATER. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND SOMETHING WAS ADJUSTED/FIXED PER THE DEALER BUT PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. I WAS TOLD THAT I PROBABLY WAS NOT SITTING IN THE SEAT CORRECTLY OR I WAS UNDER WEIGHT. NEITHER ARE TRUE. DEALER RETESTED AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG BUT I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE INDICATOR LIGHT. I DO NOT FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WOULD DEPLOY IF I HAD AN ACCIDENT. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. I HEARD RECENTLY ON TV THAT OTHER PEOPLE LIKE ME WERE STILL COMPLAINING.

THIS IS FOR THE CURRENT SAFETY RECALL ISSUE ON THIS MODEL. I HAD THE DEALER "FIX" THE INITIAL RECALL BUT HAVE HAD NUMEROUS INCIDENTS AFTERWARDS WITH THE AIRBAG. THIS INCLUDES THE AIRBAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY GOING ON/OFF WHILE MY WIFE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IN ADDITION I HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH NOTHING IN THE SEAT. I HAVE VIDEO AND PHOTO EVIDENCE OF THIS OCCURRING AFTER THE CAR WAS SENT TO NISSAN FOR THE INITIAL "FIX". WHEN THIS OCCURS I AM FORCED TO PULL OVER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO RESTART THE CAR. I HAVE TOLD MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER FACE TO FACE THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THEIR CAR WHICH IS LEASED FROM THEM AND THEY DID NOT TAKE MY CONCERN SERIOUSLY. I BELIEVE I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO RETURN THE CAR AND TERMINATE MY LEASE SINCE I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AROUND IN THIS FAMILY SEDAN.

I DECIDED TO FILE A COMPLAINT TODAY BASED ON A NEWS ARTICLE I SAW THIS MORNING THAT INDICATES THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR MANY DRIVERS OF THIS VEHICLE. THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A LOGICAL REASON WHY SOMETIMES THE LIGHT GOES OUT AND SOMETIMES IT STAYS ON. THE CONCERN IS THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY IF IT IS EVER NEEDED. *TR

I'VE HAD IT LOOKED AT TWICE AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. TAMAROFF HAS RELOADED SOFTWARE AND CHECKED THE SENSORS WITH NO LUCK. THEY FINALLY INDICATED THAT SINCE MY WIFE WEIGHS AROUND 110 POUNDS, SHE IS ON THE CUSP OF WHAT THE SENSOR WILL REACT TO.

1) THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE ENTIRELY INADEQUATE TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LIGHTING INTENSITY AND DISTANCE. THE LIGHTS BARELY ILLUMINATE ABOUT 2 CAR LENGTHS AHEAD, WHICH IS TOO SHORT A DISTANCE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 25-30MPH, MAKING HIGHWAY TRAVEL AT NIGHT VERY DANGEROUS. OBJECTS IN THE PATH OF TRAVEL AND ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ARE NOT VISIBLE IN TIME TO SAFELY RESPOND. STREET SIGNS AND TURNS ARE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO IDENTIFY IF THEY ARE NOT NEAR STREET LIGHTS. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE BUYING THE CAR, WHICH HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR ADJUSTMENT, BUT THEY INSIST THAT THE LIGHTS ARE SET WITHIN SPECS. THE HIGH BEAMS PROVIDE EXCELLENT LIGHTING, BUT WHEN SWITCHED TO LOW FOR AN ONCOMING VEHICLE, I AM SUDDENLY DRIVING WITHOUT SUFFICIENT LIGHT. THIS IS SUCH A FRIGHTENING PROBLEM THAT I PREFER NOT TO DRIVE THIS CAR AT NIGHT. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THESE LIGHTS MEET SAFETY STANDARDS. 2) THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT OFTEN INDICATES THAT THE BAG IS NOT ACTIVATED EVEN WHEN THERE IS AN ADULT SITTING IN THE SEAT. THIS WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED IN A RECALL 5/2014, BUT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THE DEALER SAYS "DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT," THAT THE BAG WILL DEPLOY IF NEEDED. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF THAT IS THE CASE AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

I JUST TOOK IT IN AFTER SPEAKING WITH NISSAN USA AND THEY CAN NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE PICTURES SHOWING IT NOT WORKING. THE REPROGRAMMED THE SEAT AND HOPE THAT FIXES IT. TOO BAD IT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE REPROGRAMMED IT. THE SEAT BELT LIGHT COMES ON AFTER SOMEONE GETS OUT OF THE CAR AND STAYS ON LIKE THE SEAT IS TELLING IT THERE IS SOMEONE IN THE CAR. NISSAN HAS BEEN NO HELP ON FIXING THIS. I DID ADVISE THEM IF I WAS TO GET IN A WRECK AND IT NOT DEPLOY THEY WILL HAVE A LAWSUIT ON THEIR HANDS.

I WAS VERY EXCITED, BUT SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE ALTIMA, I STARTED TO HEAR SQUEALING COMING FROM THE BRAKES, AND ALSO ROARING AND RUMBLING WHICH STARTED IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR, AND PROCEEDED TO THE CENTER. I ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT THE CAR LOCKING UP AND DRIVING SLUGGISH, AND THEN RELEASING ONCE THE RUMBLING BRIEFLY STOPPED. I AM ALSO HEARING AN ANNOYING WHINING SOUND COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO CARMAX, THEY TOLD ME THE ROARING WAS COMING FROM MY WINDSHIELD WASHER COMPARTMENT THAT WAS LOOSE, AND THAT MY BRAKES WERE FIXED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I LEFT AND DROVE AROUND THE CORNER, AND THE SQUEALING BRAKES AND ROARING CAME BACK. I TOOK THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA, AND AFTER TELLING THEM ABOUT THE ROARING AND THE WHINING, THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT HE'S QUITE FAMILIAR WITH THE SOUND, AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. HE STATED THAT THE WHINING SOUND IS COMING FROM THE POWER STEERING AND THE ROARING IS COMING FROM THE WAY I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE. HOW DARE HE! I ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A MONTH BEFORE I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. HE WOULD NOT EVEN TRY TO LOOK INTO THE LIST OF ISSUES I REQUESTED TO BE FIXED. THE NISSAN MANAGER TOLD ME TO GO BACK TO CARMAX OR I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE BRAKES TO BE FIXED, AND EVEN CHARGED ME TO ROTATE MY TIRES. I LEFT PAYING HIM FOR A SERVICE THAT I DID NOT ORIGINALLY COME IN FOR. I WENT BACK TO CARMAX AND THEY FINALLY FIXED MY BRAKES, BUT STILL COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG THAT WOULD CAUSE THE EXTREMELY ANNOYING ROARING AND WHINING NOISES.

I AM WAITING FOR A REPLY FROM NHTSA AND THEN WILL JUMP OVER THE DEALERSHIP AND GO TO THE REGIONAL DIVISION OF NISSAN TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR. * PLEASE NOTE: THE TECH I TALKED TODAY DID NOT INDICATE ON THE PRINTOUT MY TOTAL PROBLEM JUST THAT A SENSOR WAS REPLACED. *TR

MY PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS LIGHTING UP STATING THAT IT IS "OFF". I DRIVE MY 72 YR OLD MOTHER AROUND WHO WEIGHS 152 LBS. MY ISSUE BESIDES THE FACT IF WE GET INTO AN ACCIDENT SHE IS NOT PROTECTED BUT SHE HAS A HEART DEFIBULATOR. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS.

WHENEVER MY WIFE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UP FRONT THE "AIR BAG OFF" INDICATOR LIGHTS UP. SHE WEIGHS APPROXIMATELY 105 POUNDS. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN DEALERS, NISSAN REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE AND NISSAN USA IN FRANKLIN, TN ABOUT THE PROBLEM OF NOT HAVING AIR BAG PROTECTION FOR MY WIFE WHEN I AM DRIVING AND THEY ALL SAY THE VEHICLE IS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NISSAN HAS NO FIX FOR IT. MY COMPLAINTS TO THEM FALL ON DEAF EARS. THE DEALER HAS STATED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE IN OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES AND IT IS A LIGHTWEIGHT PERSON PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT JUST BECAUSE MY WIFE IS SMALL THAT DOES NOT ELIMINATE HER FROM THE NEED FOR PROTECTION. WHAT ABOUT OTHER SMALL PEOPLE? I BELIEVE NISSAN IS AVOIDING A RECALL AT THE EXPENSE OF PEOPLE LIKE US. CAN THE NHTSA DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? FOR YOUR INFORMATION, MY COMPLAINT TO NISSAN IS CASE NUMBER IS [XXX].

I HAVE A 2013 ALTIMA THAT WAS PART OF THE AIRBAG RECALL. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL I NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES THE AIRBAG STILL SHOWS TO BE OFF WHEN MY WIFE IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PASSENGER NEEDS TO WEIGH 115 LBS. MY WIFE BORDERLINES THAT WEIGHT. HOWEVER, IF THE LAW STATES THAT A PASSENGER MUST WEIGH 80 LBS TO RIDE IN THE FRONT OF A VEHICLE, THE 115 WEIGHT SET BY NISSAN GIVES ME REASON FOR CONCERN.

I HAVE NOT REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW THEY HAVE DONE ALL THEY CAN. THIS IS HOWEVER VERY BOTHERSOME TO ME AS I HEAR THIS "FIX" IN FACT FIXED NOTHING AT ALL FOR MANY PEOPLE.

SUMMARY: THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED IN LATE MARCH 2014 TO FIX THE PROBLEM OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY, CREATING A SAFETY PROBLEM FOR ADULTS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE CAR WAS SERVICED WITH THE SOFTWARE FIX. IT FAILED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. BOTH THE DEALERSHIP, DICK SMITH NISSAN ON FERNANDINA ROAD, COLUMBIA, SC, AND NISSANUSA STATE IT CANNOT BE FIXED AND ?THERE?S NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO.? ADULT FRONT-SEAT PASSENGERS, INCLUDING A 160-POUND MALE REMAIN UNSAFE. DETAILS: WE SAW THE PROBLEM EARLY IN THE LEASE AND ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT IT. WE WERE TOLD (1) THE ADULT PASSENGER IS IN FACT UNSAFE WHILE THE LIGHT IS ON; (2) THE PROBLEM WAS THE OWNER?S WEIGHT (110) BECAUSE SENSORS THOUGHT SHE WAS A CHILD; (3) THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE BECAUSE ANALYSIS OF THE DATA FROM THE CAR?S COMPUTER DID NOT INDICATE A MALFUNCTION, AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WE RETURNED TO THE DEALER TWO MORE TIMES ABOUT THIS WITH THE SAME OUTCOME. THEN THE RECALL WAS ISSUED, AND THE CAR WAS SERVICED WITH A SOFTWARE FIX ON 5/5/14. THE PROBLEM RECURRED. AMONG OTHER EVENTS, THE LIGHT CAME ON TWICE WITH A 160-POUND MAN IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE A PHOTO OF ONE OF THESE EVENTS TAKEN ON SATURDAY EVENING, 9/13/14. WE HAVE TRIED TO ENGAGE BOTH THE DEALER AND NISSANUSA IN DIALOGUE ABOUT FIXING OUR CAR OR GETTING ANOTHER THAT IS SAFE. THEIR RESPONSE, ECHOING ONE ANOTHER: ?THE PROBLEM CAN?T BE REPLICATED, SO IT CAN?T BE FIXED. THERE?S NOTHING WE CAN DO.? CONCLUSION: WE HAVE A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE FOR ANY ADULT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXABLE, AND NOBODY WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WE SHOULD NEITHER BE STUCK WITH A CAR ALREADY ADMITTED TO BE PERMANENTLY UNSAFE, NOR BEAR THE COST OF GETTING RID OF IT. *TR

JUST FINE WITH ONLY ONE ERROR CODE IN THE SYSTEM AND THAT WAS FROM THE FIRST TIME. THE CAR IS NOW HOME AND THE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND OFF FOR PERIODS OF BETWEEN 5 MINUTES AND A FEW HOURS TWICE SINCE. IT CLEARLY IS NOT FIXED AND THEY HAD NO SUGGESTION FOR ME EXCEPT TO BRING IT BACK WHEN THE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR A LONG PERIOD (WHICH IT DOES NOT). SOME SERVICE HUH ? *TR

AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR A FEW MONTHS, I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD GO ON WITH A PASSENGER SITTING IN THE SEAT. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN IT DID, THE LIGHT COULD STAY ON FOR AN ENTIRE TRIP. IN THIS NISSAN CAR, WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, THAT MEANS THE AIR BAG IS OFF. I TOOK MY CONCERN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED MANY OF THE PARTS UNDER THE SEAT IN AN ATTEMPT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. BY OCTOBER OF 2013, NISSAN SENT A SPECIAL TECHNICIAN TO FIVE TOWNS NISSAN IN INWOOD,NY TO ADDRESS MY PROBLEM. HE REPLACED THE RAILING UNDER THE SEAT BUT TOLD ME THE SYSTEM WAS WORKING CORRECTLY AND THEY WERE JUST MAKING ME HAPPY. HOWEVER, IN MAY OF 2014, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY VERY PROBLEM. IT TURNS OUT MANY OTHERS MUST HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THE RECALL WAS A SOFTWARE RE-PROGRAM OF THE OCCUPANCY SENSOR. BUT, THIS RECALL DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS MANY TIMES AND THEY TREAT THIS LIKE AN INDIVIDUAL PROBLEM. THEY ACTUALLY ASK ME WHAT I WOULD LIKE THEM TO DO. I TELL THEM I WANT THE AIR BAG TO INFLATE DURING AN ACCIDENT SO MY PASSENGER DOESN'T DIE. I'M FED UP WITH THEIR RESPONSE. THE COMPANY THAT MAKES THE SYSTEM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM.

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME, AS I DO NOT KNOW IF THE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY OR NOT IF WE ARE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY WITH THE AIRBAG OFF LIGHT BEING ON WHEN I SIT THERE. THE DEALER LOOKED AT IT ONCE MORE FOR ME YESTERDAY (5/28) AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO. THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHY THE LIGHT ILLUMINATES OR IF THE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY IF I AM INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS NOT A SATISFACTORY ANSWER TO ME. SOMEONE ELSE MUST GET INVOLVED TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED FOR ME. I UNDERSTAND THE DEALERSHIP'S HANDS ARE TIED AS THEY HAVE NO FURTHER DIRECTION/INFO FROM NISSAN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I NEED A RESPONSE AND FIX ON THIS. *TR

MY WIFE IS ABOUT 150 LBS AND THE AIRBAG SEAT SENSOR SHOULD NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH A PERSON OF THIS WEIGHT. I WORKED ON SEAT SENSOR DESIGN FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS AND I KNOW THAT MOST ARE PROGRAMS TO NOT DEPLOY FOR PEOPLE UNDER 80LBS.

THE ONE TIME IT DID NOT, I DROVE AN ADDITIONAL 10 MILES THEN RETRIED THE CAR OFF/ON AND IT RE-SET SO THE AIRBAG DOES WORK.

WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PRECEDED TO CROSS THE INTERSECTION/ PASSED THE SOUTH LANES WHO WERE AT A RED LIGHT AND ALL CARS WERE STOPPED.

WE PURCHASED A NISSAN ALTIMA LAST AUGUST. EVERY TIME I SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, IT SAYS THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS NOT OPERATIVE. THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THAT IT WILL NOT FUNCTION IF A CHILD OR SMALL ADULT OCCUPIES THE SEAT. I WEIGH BETWEEN 111 AND 114 POUNDS. I CALLED NISSAN'S CONSUMER AFFAIRS OFFICE TO DETERMINE THE WEIGHT THAT WOULD TRIGGER THE AIR BAG'S FUNCTIONALITY. I WAS TRYING TO ASCERTAIN WHETHER THE AIR BAG WAS BROKEN OR WHETHER I WAS CONSIDERED A "SMALL ADULT" FOR THIS PURPOSE. WE RECEIVED A VOICE MAIL FROM [XXX], STATING THAT SHE WAS ASSISTING MARK IN THIS MATTER AND THAT MY CASE NUMBER WAS 14039699. SHE FURTHER STATED THAT SHE COULD NOT ANSWER MY QUESTION BECAUSE "THE INFORMATION WAS PROPRIETARY TO THE MANUFACTURER OF THE COMPONENT" AND THUS "NOT AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC." AS A RESULT, THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE AIR BAG IS MALFUNCTIONING. WHILE I UNDERSTAND THAT THE DEPLOYMENT OF AN AIR BAG CAN BE HARMFUL TO LIGHTWEIGHT PASSENGERS, ITS FAILURE TO FUNCTION FOR SOMEONE THAT EXCEEDS AN APPROPRIATE WEIGHT LIMIT IS DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY FATAL. I THEREFORE ASK YOU TO ASSIST ME IN GETTING THAT INFORMATION FROM NISSAN. I FIND IT INCREDIBLE THAT NISSAN IS TELLING ME THAT THIS KEY SAFETY INFORMATION ISN'T AVAILABLE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS.

I AM SENDING THIS EMAIL TO NOTIFY YOU A POSSIBLE SEVERE SAFETY RISK CAUSED BY THE FAILURE OF AIRBAG PASSENGER DETECTION SENSOR. RECENTLY I FOUND THAT THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT IS MALFUNCTIONING IN CASE A HEAVY BAG WITH 22 LB WEIGHT IS PLACED IN THE RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER SEAT. IF HEAVY BAG IS PLACED IN THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT, THE SEAT PRESSURE SENSOR DETECTS THE HEAVY BAG AS A PASSENGER IS SEATED AND THE CAR SAFETY SYSTEM TURNS ON THE SEATBELT WARNING INDICATOR ON DRIVER'S MONITOR SCREEN. THIS IS THE DETECTION ALGORISM FAILURE FOR SEATBELT DETECTION SYSTEM. SO, TO TURN OFF SEAT BELT WARNING RED LIGHT, I FASTENED THE SEATBELT OF RIGHTSIDE FRONT SEAT EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. THEN THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT (RED) IS TURNED OFF. BUT EVEN THOUGH SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT IS TURNED OFF, THIS FAILURE ALSO MAKES THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG TO STOP FUNCTIONING, AS THE SYSTEM TURNS ON "FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG STATUS INDICATOR" WITH ORANGE COLOR LIGHT. AND THIS MEANS THE AIRBAG IS NOT FUNCTIONING IN CASE OF ACCIDENT IF THE HEAVY BAG IS PLACED IN THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE SEAT OF THE CAR. THIS DETECTION ALGORISM FAILURE MAY LEAD A SEVERE INJURY IN CASE OF ACCIDENT. SO PLEASE REFER AND TEST WITH ABOVE CONDITION, AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BY RECOMMENDING OR TAKING ACTION TO UPGRADE THE FRONT PASSENGER DETECTION ALGORISM AND RELATED SOFTWARE, TO STOP THE MALFUNCTIONING OF FRONT AIRBAG SYSTEM. IF YOU SEE THIS NOTICE, PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR REPLY FOR CONFIRMATION OF RECEIVING THIS MESSAGE. SOLVING AND NOTIFYING THIS PROBLEM IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE INSURANCE COMPANY ALSO MATTERS THIS FAULTS AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY ALSO RECOGNIZES AND MAKES RECORD HISTORY THAT OTHER PASSENGER WAS SEATED IN THE PLS GIVE ME YOUR EMAIL, THAT I MAY SEND FILE ATTACHMENT FOR DETAILED EXPLANATION FOR THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

I FIRST HAD THE AIR BAG PASSENGER SENSOR WARNING COME ON AND STAY ON FOR AROUND FIFTEEN MINUTES AND THEN IT WENT OFF. MY WIFE WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IN ALL THESE INCIDENTS. THIS HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SEAT SENSORS. THEY REPLACED THE SENSORS AND PERFORMED THE ZERO POINT RESET ON MAY 31, 2013. PRIOR TO SEPT. 6, 2013 I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OF THE PASSENGER SENSOR WARNING COME ON AND STAYING ON FOR TEN TO 15 MINUTES. ON SEPT. 6TH THEY SECURED SOME CABLES AND PERFORMED ANOTHER ZERO POINT RESET. PRIOR TO FEB. 21, 2014 I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY PERFORMED ANOTHER ZERO POINT RESET ON FEB. 21. ON MARCH 15TH I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ONE NIGHT WHEN WE DROVE 5 BLOCKS FROM A FRIENDS HOUSE AND IT WAS STILL ON WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF. I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER YET BUT THE ZERO POINT RESET DOESN'T SEEM TO BE SOLVING THE PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS BEING PROTECTED OR NOT.

I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP AT THE 3500 & 7500 SERVICE INTERVALS. AT THE 3500 MILES SERVICE THE ACTION WAS VERIFIED THAT THE SENSOR WAS PROPERLY CALIBRATED & WORKING PROPERLY AND SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY THE LIGHT AGAIN CAME ON WHEN MY 138 LB SON WAS RIDING. ALTHOUGH THIS DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY SINGLE TIME A PASSENGER IS RIDING, IT DOES OCCUR FREQUENTLY. AT THE 7500 MILE SERVICE I AGAIN NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP OF THE CONTINUING ISSUE. THE ISSUE WAS AGAIN VERIFIED THAT THE SYSTEM WAS WORKING PROPERLY. THE DEALERSHIPS RESPONSE WAS THAT THE ISSUE WAS RELATED TO USING THE SPECIFIED COMPONENTS (SEAT CUSHION & SENSORS) THAT THE NHTSA REQUIRES MANUFACTURERS TO USE, LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS WITH GOVERNMENT SPECS AND NOT WITH NISSAN.

THIS AIR BAG DEACTIVATED LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AND STAY ON RANDOMLY TO THIS DATE .

PASSENGER PRESENCE DETECTION SYSTEM FAILED TO RECOGNIZE A PASSENGER AND ENABLE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG APPROXIMATELY 30% OF THE TIME. DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE CONTROLLER. SAME ERROR OCCURRED 2 MONTHS LATER. DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE CONTROLLER AND ADVISED AGAINST PLACING ANYTHING OVER ABOUT 10 LBS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AS THIS WOULD CORRUPT THE PRESENCE DETECTION ALGORITHM. BUT THE DEALER COULDN'T OFFER ANY ASSURANCE THAT THE SYSTEM WOULDN'T FAIL AGAIN. *TR

1. I PURCHASED A NEW 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA SL IN APRIL 2013. AFTER COUPLE OF WEEKS I STARTED NOTICING PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON, WHETHER A PASSENGER SITS IN PASSENGER SEAT OR NOT. I WENT TO DEALER, THEY TOLD THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR AND THEY WERE WAITING FOR NEW SENSORS. AFTER COUPLE OF MONTHS THEY RECEIVED NEW SENSORS AND THEY INSTALLED IT IN MY CAR. 2. AFTER INSTALLING NEW SENSOR I STARTED NOTICING ISSUES WITH AIRBAG AGAIN. MY WIFE WEIGHS ABOUT 110LBS-115LBS, I SEE 'PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF' LIGHT IS ON IN FOLLOWING SCENARIOS WITH MY WIFE IN PASSENGER SEAT WITH SEAT BELT FASTENED. A. AFTER STARTING THE CAR 'PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF' LIGHT SUPPOSED TO ON FOR 7 SECONDS THEN GO OFF. BUT IT STAYS ON FOR A LOT MORE TIME THAN THAT (MORE THAN 15 MINUTES) SOME TIMES IT GOES OFF AFTER 15 MIN/ 30 MIN, SOME TIMES IT IS ALWAYS ON. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN ALWAYS BUT HAPPENS ALMOST 2-3 TIMES OUT OF 10. IF I RESTART CAR IT WORKS NORMAL AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED DRIVING IN VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM 0 -70 MILE/ HOUR. B. WHEN DRIVING, ALL OF A SUDDEN 'PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF' LIGHT COMES ON STAYS ON FOR A WHILE. SOMETIMES IT GOES OFF AFTER 15 MINUTES APPROXIMATELY, SOME TIMES IT STAYED ON FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES. THIS HAPPENS IN VERY RANDOM MANNER AND DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN. THIS HAPPENED DRIVING IN VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM 0 -70 MILE/ HOUR WITH MY WIFE IN PASSENGER SEAT WITH SEAT BELT FASTENED. I HAVE TOOK MY VEHICLE TO DEALER 2 TIMES, THEY CHECKED BUT SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. PERFORMED 'PASSENGER WEIGHT SENSOR' RESET 2 TIMES SUGGESTING IT MAY FIX THE PROBLEM. BUT IT DIDN'T HELP. I AM STILL DRIVING MY CAR WITH WEIRD BUGS LIKE THIS. SO IN CASE OF ACCIDENT PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY WHEN REQUIRED, PLEASE TAKE AN ACTION ON NISSAN TO FIX THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WITH AN ADULT PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT WEIGHING APPROXIMATELY 150 LBS. THE YELLOW LIGHT (MIDDLE DASHBOARD) ALWAYS COMES ON WHEN CAR IS STARTED. IT USUALLY GOES OUT (AS IT SHOULD) AFTER ABOUT FIVE SECONDS. SOMETIMES IT STAYS ON -- SOMETIMES FOR 15 MINUTES OR MORE. IT SOMETIMES COMES ON AFTER I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR A WHILE. I SOMETIMES PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART AND IT USUALLY GOES OUT LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP WHERE WE BOUGHT IT. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO SAID THERE IS A RECALL FOR SOME 2013 ALTIMAS FOR AIR BAG WEIGHT SENSOR PROBLEMS, BUT THAT OUR VIN # WASN'T INCLUDED. LOOKING ONLINE, IT LOOKS LIKE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN LIGHT IS ON, AIR BAGS WON'T DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. *TR

BOUGHT 2013 ALTIMA IN FEB. IN MARCH NOTICED THE PASSENGER LIGHT WAS ON WHEN SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT. FOLLOWED BY ON AND OFF FREQUENTLY. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER.....SAID HE FOUND SENSOR WAS BAD. ON NOV. 5,2013 IT HAPPENED AND RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHO SAID IT SHOWED NO ERRORS. TOLD ME IT WAS SAFE BUT IF THE LIGHT CAME ON TAKE A PICTURE. IT CAME ON TWICE ON 11/8/2013. I AM AT A LOSS OF WHAT TO DO OTHER THAN HOLD NISSAN LIBEL FOR NOT FIXING AN OBVIOUS SAFETY DEFECT. I WILL RETURN TO THE DEALER LATER THIS WEEK IN NOVEMBER 2013. HOW CAN WE GET NISSAN TO REACT TO OUR PROTECTION ON AN OBVIOUS COMPLAINT FROM SO MANY OWNERS? *TR

IN APPROXIMATELY MARCH 2013, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF" LIGHT BEGAN COMING ON WHILE DRIVING OUR 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. AT FIRST, THE LIGHT WOULD COME FOR A MINUTE OR TWO AND THEN GO OFF. AS TIME PROGRESSED, THE OCCURRENCES BECAME MORE FREQUENT AND LONGER IN DURATION. ON MAY 31, 2013, THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE NISSAN DEALER FROM WHICH THE CAR WAS PURCHASED TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CORRECTED. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM AND THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES. NO REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE FREQUENCY AND DURATION OF THE LIGHT COMING ON CONTINUED TO INCREASE. AT ONE POINT DURING A TRIP TO THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES, THE "OFF" LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED FOR MORE THAN TWO HOURS WHILE DRIVING. ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2013, THE CAR WAS AGAIN TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. AGAIN, THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, AND THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES. SUPPOSEDLY, THE DEALER CONTACTED NISSAN FOR ASSISTANCE. IT WAS REPORTED THAT NISSAN DECLINED TO DO ANYTHING SINCE THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES AND THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AGAIN, NO REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF" LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON OCCASIONALLY WHILE DRIVING. ALTHOUGH, WITH THE ARRIVAL OF COOLER WEATHER, THE FREQUENCY AND DURATION ARE LESS THAN THE OCCURRENCES DURING THE SUMMER HEAT. *TR

THE CAR WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN 25-30 MPH WHEN THE DRIVER SWERVED TO MISS A DEER THAT HAD JUMPED OUT OF THE WOODS. THE CAR WENT OFF THE ROAD AND INTO SOME TREES AND A ROCK WALL. THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS DAMAGED PRETTY EXTENSIVELY (TOTAL LOSS), WITH DAMAGE TO THE DRIVERS SIDE FENDER AND A DIRECT IMPACT TO THE CENTER OF THE VEHICLE PUSHING THE INTERIOR BUMPER APPROX. 10" BACK AND INTO THE RADIATOR. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING THIS CRASH. WE HAD BEEN TOLD PREVIOUSLY THAT NISSAN HAD A RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAGS, AND WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER, NOTHING WAS DONE BECAUSE THEY RAN A REPORT STATING THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT DUE FOR THE RECALL. AFTER SHOWING THE DEALER PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE, THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT "THEY COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY, AND THAT "THEY BELIEVED THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE". I HAVE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE, AND I ALSO HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE OF MY DAUGHTER SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON STATING THAT THE AIRBAG IS OFF. THIS WAS SHOWN TO THE DEALER PRIOR TO THE CRASH, AND STILL NOTHING WAS DONE TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE FURTHER. WHEN I SHOWED THE GM OF THE DEALERSHIP THE VIDEO, AND TOLD HIM THAT NOTHING WAS DONE TO REPAIR IT, HIS RESPONSE WAS "GOD FORBID THAT ANYONE OF US GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY'!! A FEW WEEKS LATER....THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. I BELIEVE THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEMS OF THESE CARS, AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED DURING A CRASH. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH THAT SIGNIFIES IF THE AIRBAG IS OFF OR ON IS INCONSISTENT. THE LIGHT IS SUPPOSED TO LIGHT FOR A BRIEF 7 SECOND BOOT UP PERIOD THEN EXTINGUISH, REGARDLESS IF THERE IS A PASSENGER OR NOT...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A UNDER WEIGHT PASSENGER WITH THE SEAT BELT FASTENED. THE MOST COMMON IRREGULARITY OBSERVED IS FOR THE LIGHT TO EXTINGUISH AS EXPECTED HOWEVER WITH A PASSENGER THAT WEIGHS WELL OVER 100 LBS, THE LIGHT WILL COME ON RANDOMLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS AT HIGH SPEED AND NOT EXTINGUISH UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SHUT DOWN. THE FIRST DOZEN TIMES OR SO, I WOULD ASK THE PASSENGER TO MOVE THEIR WEIGHT OR WIGGLE TO ATTEMPT TO HAVE THE LIGHT GO OUT AND RE-ENGAGE THE AIRBAG BUT THIS WAS TO NO AVAIL. ONCE THE LIGHT TRIPS WHILE THE CAR IS UNDERWAY, IT WILL NOT GO OUT. ON OCCASION THE BEHAVIOR IS THAT THE LIGHT STAYS ON AFTER THE BOOT PERIOD AND EVEN WHEN A PASSENGER SITS AND BUCKLES UP, THE LIGHT STAYS LIT. AGAIN, EVERY INDICATION IS THAT THERE IS NO AIRBAG DURING THIS PERIOD. I TOOK THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALER ON AUGUST 27TH AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY "CODES" AND ALTHOUGH THEY COULD NOT GUARANTEE ME THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WAS ENGAGING PROPERLY, THEY COULD NOT DO ANY MORE THEN RESET THE SYSTEM UNTIL NISSAN CORP WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED A TECH TO LOOK INTO THE VEHICLE VIN RECORD AND INVESTIGATE. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND RECEIVED A CASE NUMBER (119977748)ON 8/28 VIA PHONE. NISSAN CONTACTED ME ON 8/29 TO ADVISE THAT THE WOULD INVESTIGATE AND CONTACT ME IN EARLY SEPTEMBER AS TO THEIR FINDINGS. I AM ALSO ATTEMPTING TO DETERMINE IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY FOLLOW UP LETTER TO THE NISSAN CORP LETTER 13V-069 DATED 2/28 SENT TO THE NHTSA, RECALL MANAGEMENT DIVISION INDICATING THAT NISSAN INTENDED TO HAVE A RECALL FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM. *TT

SAFETY CONCERN, PROPER OPERATION OF AIR BAGS (SRS LIGHT ON). THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASING A BRAND NEW NISSAN ALTIMA 2013, A MAJOR LIGHT INDICATOR CAME ON. THIS LIGHT BROUGHT UP CONCERNS. ARE THE AIR BAGS WORKING PROPERLY? WILL THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY CORRECTLY UPON IMPACT? ARE THE AIR BAGS WORKING AT ALL? WILL THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING? WILL THE AIR BAGS IMPLODE AND AFFECT THE STEERING PROCESS? IS THIS AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS AN ELECTRONIC OR ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION? AFTER BUYING A BRAND NEW VEHICLE, SHOULD I EVEN HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES, QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE SAFETY CONCERN, THE LIST OF ELECTRONIC, ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL ISSUES CONTINUES FOR THE NEWLY BOUGHT VEHICLE. THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE POWER STEERING, THE BRAKE SYSTEM, BUBBLING PAINT AND CONCERNS WITH THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND INTERIOR COMPARTMENT OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED VEHICLE. ALL THIS IS REFLECTED IN EACH OF THE INVOICES SUBMITTED FOR YOUR PERUSAL. IN ADDITION, UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT CONTINUOUSLY HAS A ROUGH IDLE, A ROUGH START AT TIMES THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT. HE IS AT A LOSS BECAUSE WHO SHOULD HE TAKE HIS VEHICLE WITH THIS CONCERN? ALL IN ALL, SIR ALL THESE VEHICLE DISCREPANCIES ARE TROUBLING TO HAVE WITH A BRAND NEW NISSAN ALTIMA 2013 AND ALL OF THESE ISSUES WITHIN THE LAST NINE MONTHS. ALSO, THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER STEERING, THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND CONCERNS WITH THE ENGINE AND INTERIOR COMPARTMENTS.

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PROBLEMS WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON CONTINUOUSLY. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, HE FOUND IT WAS CAUSED BY THE FAILURE OF THE SENSOR IN THE SEAT THAT DETERMINED WHETHER THE SEAT WAS OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT OR A CHILD. THE CONSUMER INSTALLED SPACERS BETWEEN THE PASSENGER SEAT RAILS AND THE SEAT IN ORDER TO RAISE THE SEAT BY ONE INCH. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT ALTERING THE VEHICLE VOIDED THE WARRANTY COVERING THE FAULTY SENSOR. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE CHANGES HE MADE RESULTED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT STILL BEING MORE FIRMLY ANCHORED TO THE FLOOR PAN OF THE VEHICLE THAN THE POWER SEAT THAT SAT BESIDE IT. AS FAR AS THE SENSOR WAS CONCERNED, IT COULD NOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SEATS ORIGINAL CONFIGURATION AND THE ALTERATIONS THAT HE MADE. THE CONSUMER ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER IF HE RESTORED THE SEAT TO ITS ORIGINAL CONFIGURATION, WOULD IT BE CONSIDERED UN-ALTERED; HE SAID NO. THE VERY FACT THAT HE REMOVED THE SEAT CONSTITUTED ALTERING IT.

I GOT NISSAN ALTIMA 2013 IN SEP. 2012 AND SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN TAKING THIS CAR EVERY MONTH TO DEALERSHIP FOR AIRBAG OFF INDICATOR, WHICH REMAINS LIT EVEN WHEN PASSENGER IS SEATED WITH SEAT BELT ON.

THE MOST SERIOUS OF THESE INCIDENTS WAS, WHEN I DROVE MY CAR FOR 15 MILES (2 MILES ON CITY STREET AND 13 MILES ON FREEWAY). SO FAR, I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES, THEY WOULD RESET SOME SENSORS BUT IT HASN'T MADE ANY DIFFERENCE. I WAS TOLD IT COULD HAVE BEEN BECAUSE OF THE WAY PASSENGER WAS SITTING, SO ONE TIME I ASKED PASSENGER TO JUMP ON THE SEAT, THAT 180LB PASSENGER WAS JUMPING IN THE SEAT BUT THE AIRBAG OFF LIGHT STILL REMAINED ON.

NISSAN ENGINEERS AND TECHNICIANS STATED THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM ON OUR ALTIMA WAS "OPERATING AS IT HAD BEEN DESIGNED TO OPERATE". THIS IS AFTER REPLACING THE COMPUTER AND FRONT SEAT SENSORS WHICH WERE DETERMINED TO BE DEFECTIVE.

THIS IS NOT THE CASE, THE WARNING LIGHT CAN COME ON OR GO OFF WHILE MY WIFE IS SITTING PERFECTLY STILL IN THE SEAT. FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SAFETY IS VERY IMPORTANT, THAT IS WHY AIRBAGS ARE REQUIRED ON NEW VEHICLES. BECAUSE MY WIFE ONLY WEIGHTS 98 POUNDS SHE SHOULD BE PROTECTED WHEN IN THE FRONT SEAT OF THE CAR. THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT MY WIFE WOULD BE SAFER WITH NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. WITH THE LIGHT ON SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES NOT, WHERE IS THE FRONT SEAT PROTECTION THAT THE ENGINEERS DESIGNED? *TR

Mileage: 17

I PURCHASED THE CAR IN SEPTEMBER AND HAVE OBSERVED THAT WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND MAY OR MAY NOT GO OFF AFTER I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR A CONSIDERABLE PERIOD OF TIME. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER WHEN I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR THE SCHEDULED TUNE-UP AND OIL CHANGES BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THEY HAVE SUGGESTED THAT IT MIGHT BE CAUSED BY INSUFFICIENT WEIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SEAT, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO TELL ME WHAT IS THE MINIMUM WEIGHT REQUIREMENT. I FIND THAT HAVING THE WARNING LIGHT ON IS VERY DISCONCERTING SINCE IT MAY BE INDICATING A SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WHILE A PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE BUYING THE CAR ON 3/202013. THE CAR HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER AT LEAST 5 TIMES AND I'M TOLD EVERYTHING IS WORKING CORRECTLY. NISSAN NEEDS O CORRECT THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

MY "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY AS MANY OTHER USERS HAVE REPORTED. THIS HAPPENS WITH ADULTS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BETWEEN 115-130LBS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THEY DID A FACTORY RESET. THE PROBLEM DIDN'T GO AWAY. THE SECOND TIME, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS WORKING FINE EVEN THOUGH THE TECHNICIAN AGREED THE PROBLEM WOULD CONCERN HER TOO IF IT WAS HER CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

Mileage: 2,000

SO I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF SWITCH TURNS ON WHILE AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE SEAT AND CAR IS BEING DRIVEN. I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN FOR REPAIRS 4 SEPARATE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME THEY PERFORMED A "ZERO POINT" RESET. A FEW DAYS WENT BY AND IT DID IT AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK 2 TIMES AFTER THAT AND THEY KEPT SAYING THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH I HAVE VIDEO OF IT ON MY PHONE. SO I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THEY WOULD SAY ABOUT IT AND THE MANY OTHER PROBLEMS I AM EXPERIENCING. THEY HAD MY CAR FOR 10 DAYS. I PERSONALLY SPOKE AND TEST DROVE WITH THE TECHNICIAN AND HE TOLD ME HE PERFORMED THE ZERO POINT RESET AGAIN. BUT WHEN I PICKED IT UP THE PAPERWORK ONLY STATES THAT THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND NO WORK WAS PERFORMED. BUT LAST NIGHT THE SAME NIGHT I PICKED IT UP IT DID IT AGAIN AND AGAIN I HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE OF IT SWITCHING OFF WHILE SITTING IN IT AND DRIVING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKES NISSAN FIX IT. OH AND THE LOANER CAR WHICH WAS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE DID THE SAME EXACT THING AND I HAVE 2 VIDEOS OF IT. *TR

PASSENGER'S AIR BAG TURNS ON AND OFF RANDOMLY WHILE AN ADULT (150 LBS) IS SITTING WHILE CAR IS MOVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS (0 TO 80 MPH). I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP IN JANUARY AND REPORTED PROBLEM TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE STATED THAT IT WAS NORMAL. I EXPLAINED TO THE MANAGER HOW THAT COULD NOT BE NORMAL BECAUSE THE PASSENGER CAN SUFFER SERIOUS INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH IF WE HAD AN ACCIDENT. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED HE CHECKED THE CAR'S COMPUTER AND THERE WE NO ERROR CODES. THE CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL NISSAN ISSUED IN APRIL. NOW, I'M NERVOUS/WORRIED WHEN I HAVE A SOMEBODY IN THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURNS OFF RANDOMLY. IN ADDITION, THE ELECTRICAL STEERING PUMP MAKES A LOUD VIBRATING NOISE AT LOW SPEEDS. SERVICE MANAGER STATED IT'S NOT NORMAL BUT NISSAN DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

ALSO, I GOT SEVERAL LETTERS OF RECALLS ON THIS CAR, SUCH AS THE SENSORS ON THE AIRBAGS AND THE SPARE TIRE BEING OVER-INFLATED.

PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, EVEN WITH A PERSON OVER 100 LBS. IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AND THEY "RECALIBRATED" THE SENSOR, BUT THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE RECENT PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN, SO IT APPEARS THAT NISSAN HAS NO IDEA HOW TO FIX THIS. BY READING THESE COMPLAINTS ON SAFERCAR.GOV, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE. HOW LONG WILL NISSAN'S CUSTOMERS BE FORCED TO DRIVE AROUND WITH COMPROMISED SAFETY SYSTEMS? *TR

WELL I NOTICED THAT MY PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT WAS ON WITH A PASSENGER SITTING IN THE VEHICLE, IT HAS DONE THIS MANY TIMES, AND I EVEN HAVE A VIDEO OF ME SITTING IN IT AND I WEIGHT 180LBS WITH THE LIGHT ON WHILE THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. EACH TIME THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE RESET THE SEAT. IT IS STILL DOING IT, THE VIDEO CAME AFTER THE THIRD TIME AND JUST 3 DAYS AGO. I CALLED NISSAN ABOUT THIS AND MY OTHER BIG PROBLEMS AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS THROUGH NISSAN AND YET I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN 3 SEPARATE TIMES AND THEY STILL KEEP TELLING ME ITS OK. NO SIR. NISSAN SEEMS TO JUST NOT CARE I HAVE ASKED THEM MANY TIMES FOR A NISSAN REP TO COME OUT AND LOOK AT MY CAR AND THEY JUST KEEP TELLING ME TO TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER. THE PROBLEM IS ALL THE NISSAN DEALERS AROUND ME ARE OWNED AND MANAGED BY THE SAME COMPANY. AND NISSAN WILL NOT HELP ME WITH A LOANER CAR IF I DRIVE IT 200 MILES AWAY TO THE NEXT DEALER. SO I AM JUST SCREWED. VERY UPSET WITH HOW NISSAN RUNS THEIR BUSINESS. THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST NISSAN EVER! *TR

I HAVE REPORTED TO NISSAN SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT MY VEHICLE HAVING SQUEAKY BRAKES. THEY SUPPOSEDLY ADDED A STINT TO QUIET THE BRAKES BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK. ALSO THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. *TR

ON AT LEAST THREE OCCASIONS THE AIR BAG INDICATOR HAS INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. IN ALL OF THESE CASES AN ADULT HAS OCCUPIED THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS ISSUE IS NOT CONSISTENT.

THERE IS A RECALL FOR NISSAN ALTIMAS OF MY MODEL YEAR, BUT NOT MY VEHICLE. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. WHEN I TEST-DROVE THE VEHICLE IN JANUARY, THE SALESMAN (~130 LB) WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND JOKED THAT HE OFTEN TRIGGERED THE AIRBAG SHUT-OFF BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WEIGH ENOUGH. BUT I ASSUME THE WEIGHT MAXIMUM FOR SHUT-OFF HAS TO BE AROUND 70 POUNDS. *TR

PASSENGER AIR BAG INDICATOR TURNS ON, RANDOMLY ? EVEN WHEN PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED. IT MEANS PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF - IT WILL NOT INFLATE IN A CRASH.

ALTHOUGH SITTING ON THE SEAT PROPERLY AND USING THE SEAT BELT PROPERLY IT DOESN'T MATTERS BECAUSE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF LIGHT ALWAYS ILLUMINATE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN A CRASH. I REALLY WANT TO KNOW NEED AIR BAG FOR WHAT??? NISSAN ALREADY RECALLS SOME CAR SAME ISSUES. I BRING MY CAR NISSAN DEALER,THEY DO NOTHING AND SAY"THIS IS NORMAL" AND HAVE SAME PROBLEMS MY CAR'S VIN# NOT INCLUDE THE RECALLS SO THEY DON'T FIX OR REPLACE ANYTHING. IT IS RIDICULOUS. ALSO ALTIMA HAS WEIRD WINNING HIGH PITCH NOISE ALL THE TIME AND DRIVE LOW RPM TO CHANGE TO HIGH RPM MAKES VERY LOUD RUMBLING KNOCKING NOISE.IT SEEMS LIKE A DRIVE BELT AND TENSIONER PROBLEMS.

AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR I NOTICED THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR WAS VIBRATING WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS. THEN THE DEALER REPLACED THE MIRROR SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL THEY FIXED THE VIBRATING PROBLEM. BUT NOW, THE MIRROR THEY REPLACED IT WITH SEEMS TO BE A GENERIC MIRROR, SEEMS LIKE A CONVEX MIRROR AND THE OBJECTS AND VIEW LOOK DEFORMED. IT ISN'T A FLAT MIRROR AND THE DEALER SAID THAT IS NORMAL AND ALL THE CARS HAVE THAT SAME MIRROR. THAT IS A LIE BECAUSE WHEN THEY CHANGED MY VERY FIRST MIRROR DUE TO VIBRATING, IT WAS FLAT AND CLEAR. THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN SOLVED BUT NOW THEY REPLACED 2 SENSORS THAT ARE ON RECALL AND WAITING FOR A THIRD SENSOR ON THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG TO BE REPLACED AS WELL DUE TO RECALL.

I TOOK DELIVERY ON A NEW NISSAN ALTIMA 3/15/2013, AND THE NIGHT BEFORE, I SAW ONLINE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSORS, SO I ASKED DEALER TO CHECK ON THIS BEFORE I TOOK DELIVERY. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY THAT RECALL SINCE IT WAS MANUFACTURED AFTER THAT 'BATCH'. I NOTICED THE NEXT DAY THAT THE RED DASH AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON, AND ALSO NOTICED THAT THE YELLOW PASSENGER AIRBAG 'OFF' LIGHT WAS ON, EVEN THOUGH NOBODY WAS IN THAT SEAT, NO OBJECT THERE, ETC. I DROVE MY WIFE IN THE CAR A FEW DAYS LATER, AND BOTH RED AND YELLOW LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHETHER SHE WAS IN THE SEAT, OR I WAS IN THE SEAT, OR NOBODY WAS IN THE SEAT. I CHECKED THE OWNERS MANUAL, AND IT INDICATED THAT BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT IF THESE LIGHTS WERE ON. RETURNED TO DEALER ON 3/20/2013 AFTER TELLING THE DEALER THAT I REFUSED TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE UNTIL THIS WAS REMEDIED. AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD INVESTIGATE, THEY PROVIDED A RENTAL CAR. I STILL HAVE A RENTAL CAR AS OF 3/23/2013, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD FOR 3 DAYS NOW THAT NISSAN HAS INFORMED THE DEALER THAT THEY WANT TO SEND THE DEALER AN ENTIRE 'PASSENGER SEAT STRIP', BUT CANNOT PROVIDE INFORMATION ON WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE OR WHEN IT WILL SHIP. AFTER READING THE RECALL DESCRIPTION, MY VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING EXACTLY THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE RECALL NOTICE - BOTH RED AND YELLOW AIR BAG LIGHTS ARE ON AND REMAIN ON ALL THE TIME. I ASKED AGAIN FOR THE DEALER TO CHECK IF MY VEHICLE WAS COVERED BY THE RECALL, THEY SAID NO. HOW CAN IT BE THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED? THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT ANOTHER CUSTOMER JUST HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN, AND THE RENTAL CAR AGENCY TOLD ME THEY JUST ORDERED SEVERAL NEW ALTIMAS AND THAT THEY HAD TO RETURN ONE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.

THE "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" WARNING LIGHT MAY COME ON WHEN AN ADULT OR LARGE TEENAGER IS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS FAILURE HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY.

IT APPEARS THAT EITHER THE SEAT SENSOR(S) OR THE SOFTWARE THAT READS THE SENSOR(S) AND DETERMINES THE SIZE/WEIGHT OF THE FRONT PASSENGER MAY BE FAULTY.

I AM A FEMALE AND WEIGH 136 POUNDS AND MY HUSBAND RIDES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL AT TIMES AND HE IS 160 POUNDS, SO THERE IS DEFINITELY ENOUGH WEIGHT.

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON MEANING THAT THE AIRBAG IS NOT ACTIVATING NO MATTER WHO IS SITTING ON THE SEAT. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ONE WEEK AFTER WE PURCHASED IT AND THEY "SUPPOSEDLY" RESET THE SENSOR. WE LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTED IMMEDIATELY. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER A WEEK LATER AND A NISSAN ENGINEER WAS THERE THAT DAY AND HE LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. A PERSON'S LIFE COULD BE LOST BECAUSE OF THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT. NISSAN SHOULD SERIOUSLY LOOK INTO THIS AND RECALL THE CARS BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS TO ANY OF US WHO PURCHASED THIS CAR. WE CAN'T BELIEVE THAT KNOWING THAT THERE IS THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM, THEY WILL NOT EVEN TRY TO FIX IT. IT SHOWS LACK OF CONCERN AND RESPONSIBILITY ON THEIR PART FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. WE ARE GOING TO USE THE "LEMON LAW" AND RETURN THE CAR SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. SAFECAR.GOV AND THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE.

I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR ALL OF A WEEK. THERE ARE AT LEAST 2 MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS. THE FIRST IS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE LIGHT ON THE DASH INDICATES THAT THE AIR BAG IS "OFF" WHEN MY WIFE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEATS. SHE IS AN ADULT, HEIGHT ABOUT 5' 2" AND WEIGHS APPROX. 120 LBS. APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. CALLS TO NISSAN ARE A WASTE OF TIME AT THIS POINT AS I'M TOLD NOTHING ABOUT HOW THIS WILL BE RESOLVED. THE OTHER ISSUE IS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION, AT ABOUT 1200-1500 RPM THERE IS A VIBRATION AND ITS VERY NOISY. IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE THE CAR IS GOING TO DIE OUT.

I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SINCE THE CAR IS FULLY COVERED BY WARRANTY. THEY ORDERED A NEW SENSOR FROM NISSAN AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITH THE NEW SENSOR. THEY HAVE HAD MY BRAND NEW VEHICLE (500 MILES) FOR 6 DAYS. I READ ON-LINE BOARDS THAT INDICATE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH 2013 NISSAN ALTIMAS (HTTP://WWW.NISSANCLUB.COM/FORUMS/2013-NISSAN-ALTIMA-DISCUSSION-2-5-3-5/331394-PASSENGER-AIRBAG-LIGHT.HTML) AND AM VERY CONCERNED I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. I MAY BE RETURNING IT UNDER THE LEMON LAW. *TR

THERE IS AN INTERMITTENT PASSENGER AIRBAG DETECTION ISSUE WITH 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 SV. THERE WERE IN MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN A FULL GROWN PERSON(WEIGHT > 150LBS) SITTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, WHILE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN, 'PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OFF' INDICATOR WOULD TURN ON, INDICATING THAT CAR IS NOT DETECTING ANYONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND IN RESULT AIRBAGS WERE TURNED OFF. THIS WARNING INDICATION STAYED ON THROUGHOUT OUR DRIVE AND SOMETIMES TURNED OFF AFTER 10-15 MINUTES OF DRIVE AND IN OTHER OCCASIONS IT DIDN'T TURN OFF AT ALL UNTIL CAR WAS TURNED OFF. IF THIS WAS JUST A FEATURE ISSUE THEN MUCH LOWER PRIORITY SHOULD BEEN ASSIGNED BUT IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE/CONCERN AND I REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION. A BLATANT DISREGARD FROM THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS ISSUE MAY RESULT IN DEATH, INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. I REQUEST THE HELP OF NHTSA FOR QUICK AND THOROUGH INVESTIGATION ON THIS MATTER. THANK YOU! *TR

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE AN ADULT OVER 125 LBS IS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH MULTIPLE ADULTS OF VARIOUS WEIGHTS. IF THE CAR IS STOPPED, TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON IT USUALLY CLEARS THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER FOUR TIMES. EACH TIME THEY HAVE DONE SOMETHING ELSE TO TRY TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING. I AM AWAITING A CALL BACK FROM THE MANAGER OF THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT MY PASSENGER WILL NOT BE PROTECTED BY A WORKING FRONT AIR BAG. I HAVE SEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON LINE AND SEEN MANY POST OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS FOR THE 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. I HAVE ALSO SEEM MANY INSTANCES OF THIS PROBLEM WITH PREVIOUS ALTIMA MODELS AND OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DOES NOT ENGAGE WHEN INDIVIDUALS SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE AIRBAG SENSOR SHOWS THE AIRBAG NON-OPERATIONAL EVEN WHEN INDIVIDUALS OF APPROPRIATE SIZE AND WEIGHT ARE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. NISSAN HAS NO KNOWN FIXES FOR THE SITUATION AND STATE THAT ITS A "BREAK IN" PERIOD. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR PURCHASED ONE WEEK AGO. SERIOUS INJURY COULD RESULT FROM AN NON-OPERATIONAL AIRBAG AND I AM NOT WILLING TO WAIT FOR THE BREAK IN PERIOD.

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 SL. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WITH A PERSON IN THE PASSENGER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WAS INDICATED AS BEING OFF. THIS IS HAPPENING WITH FULL GROWN ADULTS ALL OF WHOM HAVE BEEN OVER 150 POUNDS. I BELIEVE THIS TO HE A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE CARS SEAT CUSHION. ONCE DRIVING FOR 10-15 MINUTES THE LIGHT GOES OFF INDICATING AIRBAG IS NOW ON. THIS USUALLY OCCURS IF THE CAR IS ALREADY RUNNING AND A PASSENGER ENTERS THE VEHICLE. *TR
