| Description of the problem | I own a 2009 nissan altima. Almost always when the passenger rides, the airbag off light turns on, the passenger is not protected. I went to the dealer, mossy nissan in oceanside, and the conclusion is that all nissan altimas have this problem -- this model car needs to be recalled so that sensitive enough sensors are installed to protect passengers - the female adult passenger is 110 lbs and not protected, that's a risk nissan corporation doesn't seem to care about. |
