Nissan Altima Air Bags Safety Report | Jan 10, 2014
Reported on Jan 10, 2014
| SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JUNE I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WILL GO ON FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN SOMEONE OVER 100 LBS IS SITTING THERE. I TOOK IT IN TODAY AND THEY TESTED THE SENSOR AND RESET IT. THEY SAID THAT EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL AND IF IT DID IT AGAIN TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND HAVE THE PASSENGER SIT PROPERLY ON THE SEAT AND NOT HALF WAY. IT IS INTERMITTENT AND HAPPENS ONLY OCCASIONALLY. I KNOW THAT THE PASSENGERS ARE SITTING FULLY ON THE SEAT AND WORRY THAT THE AIR BAG IS NOT GOING TO WORK WHEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO. I SEE SEVERAL POSTINGS ON YOUTUBE ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM AND CUSTOMERS COMPLAINING THAT THEIR DEALERS CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM AND TO BRING IT IN WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. I ALSO NOTICED A RECALL FOR OCCUPANT SENSORS ON THIS MODEL AND WONDER IF THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED. | |
