Nissan Altima Air Bags Safety Report | Apr 01, 2013
Reported on Apr 01, 2013
| PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR WAS OCCASIONALLY SHOWING THAT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WAS DEACTIVATED WHEN THERE WAS AN ADULT PASSENGER SEATED IN THAT SEAT WITH THEIR SEATBELT ON. TOOK IT INTO NISSAN DEALERSHIP THE CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR A FAULTY SENSOR, AND THEY RESET THE SOFTWARE FOR THIS SYSTEM UNTIL THE PART CAME IN. WENT BACK TO SAME DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL TO BE FIXED FOR A SECOND TIME AND THEY AGAIN RESET THE SOFTWARE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER SAID THEY NEED TO RESET THE SOFTWARE TWICE BEFORE REPLACING THE SENSOR. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY STATED THIS WAS NOT TRUE, AND IT SHOULD BE REPLACED NOT SOFTWARE RESET. IF THEY ARE LYING AND CUTTING CORNERS ON REPLACING A RECALLED PART THAT PUTS SOMEBODY'S LIFE IN DANGER, THEN WHAT ELSE ARE THEY LYING ABOUT. *TR | |
