Nissan Altima Air Bags Safety Report | Dec 14, 2013
Reported on Dec 14, 2013
| DRIVING WITH A PERSON IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH ILLUMINATED TO INDICATE THE AIRBAG HAD TURNED OFF. IT DID THIS TWICE ON THE SAME DAY. THE PERSON SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS 175 LBS, WELL BIG ENOUGH THAT THE SENSORS SHOULD HAVE DETECTED. THIS APPEARS, FROM NUMEROUS ONLINE FORUMS, TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. PRIOR TO MANUFACTURE OF MY 2013 ALTIMA (06/2013) A RECALL WAS CONDUCTED FOR THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY, POST RECALL, THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. MANY PEOPLE COULD BE KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED AS A RESULT OF THIS SAFETY FAILURE. *TR | |
