2009 Nissan ALTIMA HYBRID Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1361559
Internal NHTSA #	10959173
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	ALTIMA HYBRID
Model Year	2009
File date	10/02/17
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The passenger seat sensor to detect an occupant and enable/disable the passenger airbag failed. This is an item critical to occupant safety that is not a wear-and-tear item and one which should reasonably be expected to last the life of the vehicle. As a result, the passenger side airbags will not work as intended when occupied by an occupant of the appropriate weight per the sensor's setting. It is apparent that many altima vehicles, models before and after my 2009 year model, have experienced failure of the same extremely expensive to replace component. Nissan is not willing to address this item voluntarily; therefore, nissan should be ordered by the nhtsa to replace this critical safety component through a recall. Failure of the nhtsa to act will likely lead to many injuries or fatalities due to the failure of a part which should not have a limited warranty and which nissan, as a responsible vehicle manufacturer, should repair/replace at no cost to its customers who purchased its vehicles due to their advertised safety ratings.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
