Nissan Altima Air Bags Safety Report | Feb 02, 2013
Reported on Feb 02, 2013
| I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW (NISSAN ALTIMA 2013 - 3.5SL) AND FOUND OUT AFTER 2 DAYS THAT THE PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG LIGHT WAS WORKING IN A SPORADIC MANNER. MY WIFE WEIGHS 112 LBS. AND THE SENSOR WILL NOT WORK TO PROTECT HER TO INFLATE - AS THE LIGHT INDICATES THE AIRBAG IS OFF. I SAT IN THE SEAT AT 160 LBS. AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THEN CAME BACK ON. THE DEALER SAID IT HAD NO SOLUTION THAT I HAD TO DRIVE IT THAT WAY. THE SEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWED A HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE NISSAN FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. THIS NOTICE OF COMPLAINT IS CONCERNING WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS DEFECT THAT IS LIFE THREATENTING AND WHY THE NHTSA HAS NOT STEPPED IN TO PROTECT THE CONSUMER. *TR | |
