2008 Nissan ALTIMA Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1280647
Internal NHTSA #	10862900
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	ALTIMA
Model Year	2008
File date	01/01/08
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The system improperly classifies an adult front seat passenger as a child or as an empty seat, illuminating the passenger air bag is off on the dash. The dealership has stated that when this is illuminated the air bag would not deploy in a crash. They have failed to diagnose this concern stating that there would need to be an error showing up on the driver dash in order for testing to be done. I have noticed that nissan has a recall for this exact problem with vehicles in the model years of 2013-2017. I believe that this problem extends well beyond the years stated in the recall and should be examined further. Nissan consumer affairs has refused to acknowledge this concern without supporting documentation from a diagnostic testing.

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