Nissan Altima Air Bags Safety Report | Aug 01, 2013
Reported on Aug 01, 2013
| 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 | |
