2008 Nissan ALTIMA Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1005004
Internal NHTSA #	10536495
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	ALTIMA
Model Year	2008
File date	28/12/12
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Traveling on the highway and air bag light comes on while passenger is in the seat. This means the air bag has turned off. The light goes on and off seemingly at random. Passenger was 140 lb woman 5' 7" tall. So, air bag should be functioning the entire time this passenger is in the seat. The nissan dealer tested the air bag and said it was working properly. So, why is the light coming on to turn off the air bag? This needs to be addressed. Is the light sensor not working properly or is the air bag sensor not functioning properly? I have talked to nissan corporate about the problem and the first thing that was said was that the seat belt is the first line of safety in a crash. They also said i would need to take the vehicle in again so they could have a diagnosis that was less than 30 days old. So, taking it to the dealership at least twice within 5 years isn't enough for them to review this situation - a safety situation.
