Nissan Altima Air Bags Safety Report | Aug 14, 2013
Reported on Aug 14, 2013
| 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. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND WEIGHT OF THE PASSENGER RANGED FROM 130 TO 180 POUNDS. 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. I NOTICED THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND I HOPE THESE COMPLAINTS WILL EVENTUALLY GET DESIRED RECALL ATTENTION. *TR | |
