2008 Nissan ALTIMA Air Bags Frontal Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	706319
Internal NHTSA #	10253370
Manufacurer	NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	ALTIMA
Model Year	2008
File date	01/01/08
Component	AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Passenger airbag light comes on when the vehicle is in motion and an adult passenger (150 + pounds) is in the front passenger seat. This occurs intermittently and sometimes corrects itself and sometimes not. When the light is on the passenger is not protected and therefore subject to serious injury in the event of an accident. I have taken it to the dealer at least three times and each time i am told that the airbag system is working properly. I even took it back with my wife sitting in the front seat and the airbag light was on so they could see for themselves the problem. It did not make any difference to them. This problem occurred immediately after i purchased this vehicle new in december 2007 and continues today. Because the problem occurs intermittently you never know if your front passenger will have airbag protection when riding in the vehicle.
