Nissan Altima Air Bags Safety Report | June 20, 2013
Reported on June 20, 2013
| 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 | |
