Nissan Altima Air Bags Safety Report | Dec 09, 2013
Reported on Dec 09, 2013
| BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND HAVE CONTINUAL PROBLEM WITH PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON SAYING THE AIR BAG IS OFF WHEN A PASSENGER OF MORE THAN 125 POUNDS IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. CAR HAS BEEN TO NISSAN SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO COMPUTER CODES. I'VE DOCUMENTED THIS HAPPENING 9 TIMES SINCE JULY AND I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS. WHEN I SEE THE LIGHT, I STOP THE CAR, TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND LIGHT GOES OUT. ONE TIME THE PASSENGER MOVING AROUND IN THE SEAT CAUSED THE LIGHT TO GO OUT. I DO NOT HAVE CONFIDENCE THE AIR BAG WILL WORK IF NEEDED. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA HAS JUST ABOUT WASHED THEIR HANDS OF TRYING TO FIX IT AND TELL ME THE SYSTEM IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. FRUSTRATED~! | |
