Nissan Altima Steering Safety Report | Dec 01, 2012
Reported on Dec 01, 2012
| PASSENGER'S AIR BAG TURNS ON AND OFF RANDOMLY WHILE AN ADULT (150 LBS) IS SITTING WHILE CAR IS MOVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS (0 TO 80 MPH). I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP IN JANUARY AND REPORTED PROBLEM TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE STATED THAT IT WAS NORMAL. I EXPLAINED TO THE MANAGER HOW THAT COULD NOT BE NORMAL BECAUSE THE PASSENGER CAN SUFFER SERIOUS INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH IF WE HAD AN ACCIDENT. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED HE CHECKED THE CAR'S COMPUTER AND THERE WE NO ERROR CODES. THE CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL NISSAN ISSUED IN APRIL. NOW, I'M NERVOUS/WORRIED WHEN I HAVE A SOMEBODY IN THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURNS OFF RANDOMLY. IN ADDITION, THE ELECTRICAL STEERING PUMP MAKES A LOUD VIBRATING NOISE AT LOW SPEEDS. SERVICE MANAGER STATED IT'S NOT NORMAL BUT NISSAN DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR | |
