| Description of the problem | Regarding the current (2013-2014) nissan recall due to airbag defect: we traded in our 2007 altima for a 2014 model. The 2007 model appeared to have the same airbag defect being described in the current recall. During our ownership of the 2007 model, the passenger seat airbag sensor malfunctioned about 80% of the time--it would mistakenly indicate that no one was in the seat whether the adult sitting there was small or heavy. This occurred with an adult sitting in a normal, upright, centered position. The same thing is happening with our new car. |
