Latches/locks/linkages, hood, latchMay 28, 2020
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2018 Nissan Altima vehicles. If the primary hood latch is inadvertently released, there is an increased likelihood that the secondary hood latch may corrode over time.
Corrosion to the secondary latch may cause it to bind and remain in the unlatched position when the hood is closed. If the primary latch is inadvertently released again and the secondary latch is not engaged, the hood could unexpectedly open while driving, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will install a stronger release spring in the hood release lever, a warning label near the secondary hood latch, and an Owners Manual addendum card with instructions on how to lubricate and maintain the secondary hood latch mechanism, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 30, 2021. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Note: Recall 16V-029 remains open for any unremedied 2013-2015 Altimas and this recall applies to all vehicles covered by 16V-029 even if those repairs have already been performed.

Air bags, sensor, occupant classificationDec 19, 2016
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Altima vehicles manufactured January 3, 2013, to July 29, 2013, 2015-2016 Rogue vehicles manufactured October 14, 2014, to August 12, 2016, and 2016 Maxima vehicles manufactured June 4, 2015, to August 19, 2015. An incorrect Occupant Classification System (OCS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may have been installed in the front passenger seat. The incorrect ECU and seat combination may misclassify the front passenger seat occupant.
If the front passenger seat occupant is misclassified, the air bag may deploy incorrectly in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ECU and update the OCS software free of charge. The recall began February 13, 2017. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash.
If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors. Dealers will reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, and Sentra vehicles, and replace the OCS ECU in LEAF, NV200, NV200 Taxi, Pathfinder, Infiniti Q50, JX35, and QX60 and Chevrolet City Express vehicles, free of charge.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Nissan Altima vehicles manufactured March 6, 2012, to December 31, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the secondary hood latch may bind and remain in the unlatched position when the hood is closed.

The affected vehicles received an incorrect occupant classification system (OCS) control unit during a repair. These OCS control units may incorrectly classify the front passenger seat as empty, when it is occupied by an adult.
If the OCS does not detect an adult occupant in the passenger seat, the passenger air bag would be deactivated. Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the passenger.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will update the OCS software, free of charge. The recall began on November 30, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

THE ADVERTISED MPG FOR THIS VEHICLE IS 38 MPG. 3/22/2014 MADE A TRIP TO TULSA, OK. FILLED UP AT I-430 HEADED TO TULSA AT 6,657 MILES. DROVE 401 MILES AND REFILLED AT 7,058 WITH 13.218 GALLONS 30.3374 MPG. FILLED UP AGAIN AT I-430 AT END OF ROAD TRIP AT 7,221 AFTER 163 MILES WITH 5.085 GALLONS 32.05506391. ALL HIGHWAY! WE BOUGHT A NEW NISSAN ALTIMA LATE IN 2013 WITH A HIGHWAY RATED MILES PER GALLON OF 38. WE LOVE THIS VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR THE GAS MILEAGE. WE WERE DEBATING ON A TOYOTA PRIUS V AND THE ALTIMA WHEN WE MADE OUR PURCHASE AND FELT WE HAD A BETTER BUY WITH THE ALTIMA AND EXPECTED TO GET CLOSE TO THE RATED MPG WHEN ON TRIPS. WE ARE BOTH IN OUR 60'S HAVE GOOD DRIVING RECORDS AND HABITS. WE PREVIOUS OWNED A NEW 2004 TOYOTA PRIUS AND A NEW 2007 PRIUS. I HAVE A SPREADSHEET ON THE 2004 THAT I KEPT FOR SOME TIME REFLECTING ROUGHLY 45 MPG, ABOUT 90% OF THE RATED MPG. THIS WAS AN AVERAGE OF DAILY DRIVING THAT INCLUDED DRIVING FROM OUR RURAL HOME IN THE COUNTY TO WORK IN THE CITY. WE DID NOT KEEP RECORDS ON THE 2007 AS MILEAGE CHECKS SHOWED WE WERE GETTING VERY SIMILAR POSITIVE RESULTS. WE FELT WE SHOULD REASONABLY EXPECT TO ACHIEVE SOME 90% OF THE 38 MPG WHEN DRIVING THE ALTIMA ON ROAD TRIPS. SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 2014 WE CHECKED AND WE WERE NOT GETTING CLOSE TO THE 90%. WE FILLED UP THE TANK AT THE NEAREST STATION TO I-430 ON COLONEL GLENN ROAD IN LITTLE ROCK ON A TRIP TO TULSA, OK. WE FILLED UP AFTER 400 MILES ON OUR WAY HOME FROM TULSA, AND AT THE SAME STATION ON COLONEL GLENN AFTER EXITING I-430. THESE WERE 564 HIGHWAY MILES ON THESE TWO TANKS OF FUEL REQUIRING 18.303 GALLONS FOR A 30.814 MILES PER GALLON. THIS IS ONLY 81% OF THE 38 EXPECTED MILES PER GALLON ON THE STICKER FOR HIGHWAY MILES. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO COME CLOSER TO THE 38 MPG AND WHY IT IS PERMISSIBLE TO GIVE A RATING SO MUCH HIGHER THAN ONE CAN ACHIEVE. *TR

WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR IN THE CITY, SOMETIMES IT WILL GOES "NUMB", IN OTHER WORDS DOESN'T RESPONSE TO MY COMMANDS WHEN SPEED IS 30MPH+RPM IS 2K OR SPEED IS 20MPH+RPM IS 1.5K.(ONLY AT THESE TWO UNIQUE COMBINATION, E.G. IS THE SPEED IS 30MPH+RPH IS 1.5K, THE ISSUE WILL NOT OCCUR). EITHER APPLYING GAS OR BRAKE DOESN'T WORK AS I WHEN MY CAR IS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. THE DURATION OF THIS "NUMB" ISSUE IS USUALLY ABT 10-15 MIN, AND OFTEN HAPPENS WHEN I USE MY CAR FROM COLD START.(BUT THAT USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER A WARM-UP OF 5MIN AND BEING ON THE ROAD FOR ABT 10-15MIN). WHEN THE ISSUE HAPPENS, I FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS CONTROLLING MY CAR INSTEAD OF ME AND MY CAR DOESNT LISTEN TO ME, E.G. MY CAR WAS GOING DOWNHILL SMOOTHLY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT GOES NUMB, I WAS TRYING TO MAKE THE SPEED LOWER THAN 30 MPH BUT WASN'T ABLE TO, LUCKILY IT FINALLY SLOW DOWN WHEN I APPLIED A HARD BRAKE THAT MAKE THE VEHICLE ALMOST STOPPED. THE OPERATION AND SAFETY ISSUE ANNOYS ME. SOMETIMES IT GAVE ME SUDDEN PAUSE ON THE ROAD(20-30 MPH SPEED). I HAVE TOOK MY CAR TO DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES SINCE JUNE 2013, MY TRANSMISSION SYSTEM GOT REPROGRAMMED 2 TIMES. 12/30/2013, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, AFTER THAT MY CAR STARTED OPERATING WEIRD (FEELS LIKE LACK OF POWER). TOOK MY CAR TO DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND GOT TRANSMISSION REPROGRAMMED, PLUS SOME PARTS CHANGED (I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY EXACTLY CHANGED). ALMOST EVERYDAY, I EXPERIENCE MY CAR GOES "NUMB" OUT OF NOWHERE, AND HAD TO LIVE WITH IT BEING UNABLE TO CONTROL MY CAR WHEN IT HAPPENS BECAUSE NISSAN BLAMES THE "COLD" WEATHER IN CALIFORNIA AND MY SENSITIVITY IN DRIVING. *TR

WE PURCHASED A NISSAN ALTIMA LAST AUGUST. EVERY TIME I SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, IT SAYS THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS NOT OPERATIVE. THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THAT IT WILL NOT FUNCTION IF A CHILD OR SMALL ADULT OCCUPIES THE SEAT. I WEIGH BETWEEN 111 AND 114 POUNDS. I CALLED NISSAN'S CONSUMER AFFAIRS OFFICE TO DETERMINE THE WEIGHT THAT WOULD TRIGGER THE AIR BAG'S FUNCTIONALITY. I WAS TRYING TO ASCERTAIN WHETHER THE AIR BAG WAS BROKEN OR WHETHER I WAS CONSIDERED A "SMALL ADULT" FOR THIS PURPOSE. WE RECEIVED A VOICE MAIL FROM [XXX], STATING THAT SHE WAS ASSISTING MARK IN THIS MATTER AND THAT MY CASE NUMBER WAS 14039699. SHE FURTHER STATED THAT SHE COULD NOT ANSWER MY QUESTION BECAUSE "THE INFORMATION WAS PROPRIETARY TO THE MANUFACTURER OF THE COMPONENT" AND THUS "NOT AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC." AS A RESULT, THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE AIR BAG IS MALFUNCTIONING. WHILE I UNDERSTAND THAT THE DEPLOYMENT OF AN AIR BAG CAN BE HARMFUL TO LIGHTWEIGHT PASSENGERS, ITS FAILURE TO FUNCTION FOR SOMEONE THAT EXCEEDS AN APPROPRIATE WEIGHT LIMIT IS DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY FATAL. I THEREFORE ASK YOU TO ASSIST ME IN GETTING THAT INFORMATION FROM NISSAN. I FIND IT INCREDIBLE THAT NISSAN IS TELLING ME THAT THIS KEY SAFETY INFORMATION ISN'T AVAILABLE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE LEAVING A STOP, THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT ABOUT 5 MPH AND WHEN I PRESSED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR TO MOVE FORWARD THE ENGINE RPM WENT TO 5000RPM BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. IT MAINTAINED THE CONSTANT SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. AFTER BACKING OFF ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THEN PRESSING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN THE CAR ACCELERATED. THIS EVENT HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND I CONSIDER THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE MAY FAIL TO RESPOND TO A NEED FOR INCREASED SPEED A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I AM SENDING THIS EMAIL TO NOTIFY YOU A POSSIBLE SEVERE SAFETY RISK CAUSED BY THE FAILURE OF AIRBAG PASSENGER DETECTION SENSOR. RECENTLY I FOUND THAT THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT IS MALFUNCTIONING IN CASE A HEAVY BAG WITH 22 LB WEIGHT IS PLACED IN THE RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER SEAT. IF HEAVY BAG IS PLACED IN THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT, THE SEAT PRESSURE SENSOR DETECTS THE HEAVY BAG AS A PASSENGER IS SEATED AND THE CAR SAFETY SYSTEM TURNS ON THE SEATBELT WARNING INDICATOR ON DRIVER'S MONITOR SCREEN. THIS IS THE DETECTION ALGORISM FAILURE FOR SEATBELT DETECTION SYSTEM. SO, TO TURN OFF SEAT BELT WARNING RED LIGHT, I FASTENED THE SEATBELT OF RIGHTSIDE FRONT SEAT EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. THEN THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT (RED) IS TURNED OFF. BUT EVEN THOUGH SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT IS TURNED OFF, THIS FAILURE ALSO MAKES THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG TO STOP FUNCTIONING, AS THE SYSTEM TURNS ON "FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG STATUS INDICATOR" WITH ORANGE COLOR LIGHT. AND THIS MEANS THE AIRBAG IS NOT FUNCTIONING IN CASE OF ACCIDENT IF THE HEAVY BAG IS PLACED IN THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE SEAT OF THE CAR. THIS DETECTION ALGORISM FAILURE MAY LEAD A SEVERE INJURY IN CASE OF ACCIDENT. SO PLEASE REFER AND TEST WITH ABOVE CONDITION, AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BY RECOMMENDING OR TAKING ACTION TO UPGRADE THE FRONT PASSENGER DETECTION ALGORISM AND RELATED SOFTWARE, TO STOP THE MALFUNCTIONING OF FRONT AIRBAG SYSTEM. IF YOU SEE THIS NOTICE, PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR REPLY FOR CONFIRMATION OF RECEIVING THIS MESSAGE. SOLVING AND NOTIFYING THIS PROBLEM IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE INSURANCE COMPANY ALSO MATTERS THIS FAULTS AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY ALSO RECOGNIZES AND MAKES RECORD HISTORY THAT OTHER PASSENGER WAS SEATED IN THE PLS GIVE ME YOUR EMAIL, THAT I MAY SEND FILE ATTACHMENT FOR DETAILED EXPLANATION FOR THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 1ST 2013 NISSAN ON AUGUST 18, 2023 AND IT HAD APPROX. 3,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. AFTER A FEW DAYS, I NOTICED A SPUTTERING IN THE CAR WHEN DE-ACCELERATING AND ALSO WHEN ACCELERATING. AFTER 10 DAYS IT HAD GOT SO BAD, I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER. LUCKILY, IT HAPPENED VERY BADLY WHEN THEY DROVE THE CAR. I SPOKE WITH THE STORE MANAGER AND HE AGREED TO GIVE ME A NEW CAR WITH LESS THAN 100 MILES ON IT. LOW AND BEHOLD. THE NEW CAR STARTED SPUTTERING VERY LITTLE (HARDLY NOTICEABLE) AFTER ABOUT 2,000 MILES. TRYING TO GIVE THE CAR THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, I DIDN'T TAKE IT BACK. FAST FORWARD,,,,,,,THE CAR NOW HAS 14,000 MILES AND IS SPUTTERING MORE AND MORE. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE CAR SOMETIMES SMELLS AS IF IT IS RUNNING A LITTLE HOT WHEN I GET OUT OF THE CAR. I AM TAKING THE CAR IN THIS WEEKEND AND HOPEFULLY THE SPUTTERING WILL BE RECREATED. IF NOT, I WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE THE CAR BACK WHEN IT SPUTTERS AND MAKE CERTAIN TO GET DOCUMENTATION EACH TIME I TAKE IT IN. THIS IS TERRIBLE AND I DON'T WANT TO BE STUCK WITH A CAR WITH ISSUES SUCH AS THIS.

HAD NISSAN SERVICE WRITER RIDE WITH ME, THEN HE DROVE THE VEHICLE AND CONFIRMED THE VIBRATIONS. SAID TO RETURN NEXT WEEK JAN 2014 TO FURTHER DOCUMENT. GUESS WHAT, HE SAID THEY HAVEN'T HAD THIS PROBLEM??? HOWEVER, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO NISSAN MANY TIMES OVER THIS PAST YEAR. I NOW BELIEVE THIS VIBRATION IS COMING FROM THE ENG NOT FROM THE CVT SINCE I CAN FEEL THE VIBRATIONS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED (IN PARK OR IN NEUTRAL). NISSAN HAS AN ENGINEERING DESIGN PROBLEM THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE AND FAIL TO ADMIT.

NOTICED CAR SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHILE COASTING AT ABOUT 17 MPH AND THEN ACCELERATING. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A DEFECT WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER THAT CAUSES IT TO SHIFT BETWEEN GEARS AT ABOUT 28 MPH. I TOLD THEM THAT MINE WAS HAPPENING AT ABOUT 17 OR 18 MPH. WAS TOLD THEY WERE LOOKING INTO IT. CALLED AGAIN ABOUT A WEEK LATER, WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW AND NISSAN WAS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OF HAVING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THE CAR PULLED TO THE LEFT. HAD THE ALIGNMENT FIXED. 7 MONTHS LATER I HAD THE CAR BACK IN THE SHOP BECAUSE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT SAID THE AIR BAG WAS NOT TURNED ON. THIS OCCURRED WITH A 128 POUND GIRL IN THE SEAT AND ON ANOTHER OCCASION WITH A 215 POUND MAN IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM AND THAT THE AIR BAG WOULD DEPLOY IF NECESSARY. LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER THAT I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM AND NOW MY ELEC. STABILITY DID NOT START WORKING TILL ABOUT 15 MIN OF SLIPPING AROUND ON SNOW WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. EVER SINCE IT FINALLY CAME ON THE LIGHT NOW STAYS ON THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME AND OCCASIONALLY GOES OFF BUT THE ROADS HAVE BEEN BOTH WET AND COMPLETELY DRY WHEN THIS OCCURS. ALSO NOW MY STEERING WHEEL IS TILTED ABOUT 30 DEGREES TO THE LEFT WHEN I HAVE MY CAR DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT AWAY BECAUSE MY ALIGNMENT HAS WENT COMPLETELY OFF AGAIN BUT EVEN WORSE THAN BEFORE. *TR

I HAVE HAD THE 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA IN FOR SERVICE 5 TIMES FOR THE OCCUPANCY SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE AIR BAG IS OFF PER THE LIGHTED INDICATOR ON OCCASION WHEN A PASSENGER RIDES IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE CONTACTED NHTSA FOR THE SPECS ON THE SENSOR. NISSAN SUBMITS THESE SPECS TO THE NHTSA FOR COMPLIANCE REGULATIONS. THE SPECS STATE THAT THE PASSENGER MUST BE OVER 108 POUNDS FOR THE AIR BAG TO BE ACTIVATED. IN THE CASE OF ALL THE FRONT RIDING PASSENGERS IN MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA, THIS REQUIREMENT WAS WELL EXCEEDED (150+ LBS). PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOW LINK FOR FACTS. HTTP://WWW.ECFR.GOV/CGIBIN/TEXTIDXC=ECFR&SID=4E1F9E91060EA3F99991E14608A174C1&RGN=DIV8&VIEW=TEXT&NODE=49:6.1.2.3.37.2.7.43&IDNO=49 **PLEASE NOTE THAT A 5TH PERCENTILE HUMAN FEMALE WEIGHS ABOUT 102 LBS AND A 5TH PERCENTILE FEMALE TEST DUMMIE WEIGHS 108 LBS. I AM NOT CONFIDENT THAT OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP CAN OR WILL REPAIR THE VEHICLE AFTER 5 ATTEMPS (3 SENSORS AND 2 SENSORS "RESETS"). I HAVE OPENED A CASE WITH NISSAN AND WILL BE SUBMITTING THE LEMON LAW DOCUMENTATION. I AM SEEKING FULL REPLACEMENT OF THE VEHICLE WITH A NEW 2013/2014 NISSAN ALTIMA OR FULL AMOUNT PAID (CAR, DOWN PAYMENT, TRADE IN, TAX, TAG AND TILE). *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT TO INDICATE AIRBAGS ARE OF COMES ON WHEN I HAVE AN ADULT PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. CAN TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE LIGHT MAY STAY OFF - VERY INCONSISTENT. SAME PASSENGER RIDES IN A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA FRONT SEAT WITH NO ISSUES. HAS HAPPENED WITH 2 DIFFERENT PASSENGERS AND NEITHER HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE. BOTH ARE ADULTS WEIGHING APPROXIMATELY 100 POUNDS. TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE - NO RESOLUTION. DEALER SAYS WORKING AS EXPECTED. *TR

WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED INDICATING THE AIR BAG IS NOT ACTIVATED. THIS ISSUES HAS OCCURRED SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP AT THE 3500 & 7500 SERVICE INTERVALS. AT THE 3500 MILES SERVICE THE ACTION WAS VERIFIED THAT THE SENSOR WAS PROPERLY CALIBRATED & WORKING PROPERLY AND SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY THE LIGHT AGAIN CAME ON WHEN MY 138 LB SON WAS RIDING. ALTHOUGH THIS DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY SINGLE TIME A PASSENGER IS RIDING, IT DOES OCCUR FREQUENTLY. AT THE 7500 MILE SERVICE I AGAIN NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP OF THE CONTINUING ISSUE. THE ISSUE WAS AGAIN VERIFIED THAT THE SYSTEM WAS WORKING PROPERLY. THE DEALERSHIPS RESPONSE WAS THAT THE ISSUE WAS RELATED TO USING THE SPECIFIED COMPONENTS (SEAT CUSHION & SENSORS) THAT THE NHTSA REQUIRES MANUFACTURERS TO USE, LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS WITH GOVERNMENT SPECS AND NOT WITH NISSAN. IF SO, THE QUESTION THEN WOULD BE WHY DOESN'T THIS OCCUR WITH EVERY CAR THAT HAS AN AIR BAG IN IT'S SEAT? THIS IS THE FIRST CAR I HAVE EVER BEEN IN THAT HAS THIS ISSUE. WITH EXCEPTION THAT THIS SAME ISSUE OCCURRED WHEN I RENTED A 2013/2014 NISSAN ALTIMA RECENTLY ON A TRIP. ADDITIONALLY WHEN I ASKED, NONE OF MY FRIENDS OR FAMILY HAVE EVER HEARD OF SUCH AN ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED. *TR

THE CENTER CONSOLE AIR BAG LIGHT BECOMES ILLUMINATED AFTER THE PASSENGER HAD BEEN SEATED IN THE CAR FOR SOME TIME, INDICATING THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG HAS BEEN DISABLED.. TOOK THE CAR IN TO NISSAN AS I WAS ALERTED TO A RECALL. I WAS TOLD MY SENSOR DID NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED, JUST REPROGRAMMED. THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. THE PASSENGER IS OVER 150 POUNDS. THE LIGHT COMES ON AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN OPERATIONAL, THE LIGHT ALWAYS GOES OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. THE PASSENGER IS USUALLY READING, SO THEY ARE SITTING STILL. WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON, NISSAN INDICATES THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT WORK IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR BACK TO NISSAN 4 TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. SINCE THE COMPUTER INDICATES NO ERRORS, NOTHING GETS FIXED. WHEN I LEAVE THE DEALER, THERE IS ALWAYS A REASON WHY NOTHING GETS FIXED AND I AM ALSO TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR. I AM VERY CONCERNED ON THE SAFETY OF THE PASSENGER SINCE THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IF THIS LIGHT IS ON. *TR
