TAKATA RECALL MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN BLINKING SINCE 2014. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I CALLED NISSAN AT THE TIME AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD PAY 40% OF THE REPAIR. I TOLD THEM I WILL NOT PAY FOR AN AIRBAG REPLACEMENT ESPECIALLY WINCE THE TAKATA RECALL WAS SO PREVALENT. THE DEALERSHIP STATED IT WOULD COST OVER $800.00 TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG (INFORMATION I CAN SEND YOU, IF NECESSARY). I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE SEVERAL WEEKS AGO AND WAS ALMOST IN 'T-BONED' BY ANOTHER DRIVER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHO RAN A STOP LIGHT. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO ASSIST ME IN THIS MATTER BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND YOUR DEPARTMENT NEEDS TO ISSUE THE RECALL. SO I NOW AM ASKING FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE, SO I CAN FINALLY HAVE A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG REPLACED. I DO REALIZE I AM NOT ON ANY RECALL LIST BUT I CAN SHOW DOCUMENTATION THAT THE AIRBAG HAS NOT FUNCTIONED IN OVER FOUR YEARS. I WILL GLADLY HELP IN ANY INFORMATION YOU MAY NEED. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED...

TAKATA RECALL. CAR AIRBAG CENSOR NOT WORKING. ALWAYS KEEP BLINKING. GONE TO CORAL SPRINGS NISSAN DEALER. AS PER THEM WHOLE SEAT CUISINE ON PASSENGER SITE NEED REPLACEMENT. THEY HAVE 2 OPINION. AS PER MR. BRANDON ONLY PASSENGER SITE AIRBAG WILL NOT WORK. AS PER SHIA BOTH OF AIRBAG NOT GOING TO WORK. IT IS DANGERS AND COST FOR THAT IS AROUND $ 2100.00. I KEEP ON CHANGING TYRE PRESSURE CENSOR MANY TIME. BUT THIS IS REDICULOUS THAT SUCH A SAFETY REQUIREMENTS DOESN'T HAVE WARRANTY. MY CAR HAS ONLY 66000 MILE. MY DESK BOARD LEATHER IS ALSO CRACKING. MEANS EITHER END UP SPENDING MORE THEN $ 3500 TO KEEP RUNNING BECAUSE OF SAFETY REASON. OTHERWISE MY CAR IS FINE AND FIT. I HEARDLY USE 500 MILES A MONTH. CAN YOU DO SOMETHING.

I OWN A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY ONE EVENING WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN. I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR SEEMS TO GO EVEN SLOWER. IT WAS MYSELF AND MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER. I WAS SCARED TO DEATH. THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE HIGHWAY WAS 70 MPH AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 35 MPH. I PULLED OVER TO A GAS STATION AND A NICE MAN LOOKED AT THE CAR AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. SO GET BACK ON THE WAY TO GO BACK BECAUSE I DIDN'T TRUST THE CAR TO MAKE IT TO MY DESTINATION. IT DID THE AME THING AGAIN. SO I DROVE WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON ALL THE WAY HOME AND PARKED IT. NOW IT DRIVES FINE RIGHT IN THE SMALL TOWN I LIVE IN BUT I CANT DRIVE IT OUT OF TOWN AT ALL, WHICH REALLY DEFEATS THE PURPOSE.

A SERVICE LIGHT APPEARED ON DASHBOARD FAILING MY STATE INSPECTION. I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS AN ISSUE UNTIL A DIAGNOSTIC WAS DONE. THE SAME ISSUES WERE REPORTED ON MY CAR THAT ARE THE SAME AS THOUSANDS OF OTHER NISSAN ALTIMAS 2008 THAT WERE RECALLED. HOWEVER NISSAN STATED MY CAR WAS NOT UNDER RECALL EVEN THOUGH I REPORTED THE SAME ISSUES THAT ARE UNDER RECALL. THEY REFUSED TO HELP ME OR GIVE ME ANY OPTIONS. THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY COSTS. THE ISSUES REPORTED UNDER DIAGNOSTIC WAS OCCUPANT SENSOR ( PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION) CODE B 1018.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WITH A PASSENGER SITTING IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHEN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AIR BAG LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AND PASSENGER AIR BAG INDICATOR DISPLAYED OFF. VEHICLE HAS A FAULT IN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM, REQUIRING THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT CUSHION ASSEMBLY TO BE REPLACED.
Air bags, Feb 2, 2018
MY 2008 ALTIMA SEDAN HAD ABOUT 50,000 MILES ON IT WHEN IN DECEMBER 2017 I EXPERIENCED AN AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT THAT FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ALONG WITH A WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH THAT INDICATED THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS OFF. THESE WARNINGS APPEARED NO MATTER IF THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS EMPTY OR IF AN ADULT PASSENGER OCCUPIED IT. THIS HAPPENED ANYTIME THE CAR WAS RUNNING (STOPPED OR MOVING AT ANY SPEED). I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED BY ANY ACTIVE RECALLS. FURTHER RESEARCH SHOWED THAT NISSAN VEHICLES HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNINGS RELATED TO SENSORS AND OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMS FOR A BROAD RANGE OF NISSAN AND INFINITI VEHICLES FOR SEVERAL MODEL YEARS SINCE 2007. THERE WAS ONE NHTSA RECALL (#08V-521) RELATED TO THIS ISSUE THAT COVERED MY MODEL AND YEAR, BUT THIS APPLIED TO ONLY A SMALL GROUP OF NISSAN VEHICLES MANUFACTURED IN 2007-2009 THAT EXHIBITED A SPECIFIC DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED ONE MONTH AFTER THE LAST MONTH INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, BUT THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR WAS MANUFACTURED DURING THE LAST MONTH OF PRODUCTION INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE PROBLEMS WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNINGS GO BEYOND THE ORIGINAL RECALL. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE THAT I BELIEVE WARRANTS EXPANSION OF THE ABOVE RECALL OR A NEW RECALL. I DON'T BELIEVE NISSAN IS LIVING UP TO ITS SAFETY RESPONSIBILITIES. I HAVE COMPLETED SIGNIFICANT RESEARCH INTO THIS ISSUE (SEE ATTACHMENT) THAT SHOULD CONVINCE NHTSA OF THE NEED FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THIS DEFECT. I HAVE INVESTED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND CREATING THE ATTACHED REPORT. I WOULD APPRECIATE A RESPONSE FROM NHTSA STATING IF THEY INTEND TO PURSUE NISSAN TO ISSUE ADDITIONAL RECALLS, OR NOT.

DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CRACKING TO THE POINT WHERE I CAN SEE THE FOAM MATERIAL THAT THE DASH IS MADE OUT OF MAKE SEEING OUT THE WINDSHIELD VERY DIFFICULT, ESPECIALLY WHEN COMING OUT OF A TUNNEL DURING THE DAY AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE MOMENTARILY MAKING DRIVING VERY DIFFICULT. BOUGHT A DASH COVER TO HOPEFULLY SLOW DOWN THE PROCESS AND SO I COULD SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD CLEARLY. ALSO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT DOES LIGHTS UP INTERMITTENTLY WHEN NO ONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. BOUGHT THE CAR, 2008 ALTIMA COUPE, IN NORTH FLORIDA AND HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN FLORIDA, GEORGIA AND HAWAII, WHERE I CURRENTLY LIVE, YEAR ROUND. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS AND HAVE LESS THAN 75000 MILES.

SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN 2014, THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY MELTING AND CRACKING TO THE POINT WHERE THE GLARE FROM THE BLACK MELTED DASHBOARD HAS SEVERELY DECREASED VISIBILITY. ADDITINALLY, AS MORE CRACKS HAVE APPEARED THE CAR NO LONGER RECOGNIZES WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND SHOWS THE AIRBAG AS 'OFF.'

THE AIRBAG SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SEAT STOPPED WORKING ABOUT A YEAR AGO. I HAD TO GET MY CAR INSPECTED LAST MONTH TO DRIVE IN THE STATE OF VA AND TO ACCESS THE NAVAL BASE FOR WORK. I FAILED THE INSPECTION BECAUSE OF IT AND HAD TO PAY $705 FOR A NEW SEAT. I SAW A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT WAS TOLD BY NISSAN RECALL DEPARTMENT MY CAR WASN'T COVERED. HOW CAN THAT BE POSSIBLE? I AM REQUESTING A FULL REFUND FROM NISSAN AS THE ISSUE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED IN 2008. I APPRECIATE YOUR ASSISTANCE IN HELPING ME ACCOMPLISH IT.

DASH PAD, WHICH ALSO COVERS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS NOW CRACKED, AND IS STICKY. I KNOW THAT NISSAN SETTLED WITH FLORIDA RESIDENTS FOR THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER, OTHER CARS ARE AFFECTED. IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS, WE HAVE JUST AS MUCH, IF NOT MORE HEAT THAT SEEMS TO BE CAUSING FAILURE OF THE DASH COVER. WE ARE NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR, AS SINCE IT IS CRACKED AND STICKY, WE DO NOT KNOW IF WE WILL BE PROPERLY PROTECTED WITH THE AIR BAG SHOULD WE HAVE A PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, NOT JUST COSMETIC, AND ALL CARS SHOULD BE INCLUDED, NOT JUST FLORIDA. PLEASE REVIEW THIS ISSUE, AND GET ALL OF US COVERED.

A PASSENGER SITTING CAUSES THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO FLASH AND TURNS OFF THE AIRBAG? IF THE SEAT IS EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME OCS CONTROL UNIT, MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED.
