| Description of the problem | The passenger airbag warning light stays on at all times, and now this week the supplemental airbag warning light has been flashing. I took it to a mechanic and they tell me that the passenger airbag is malfunctioning. If the car was in a collision and someone was seated in the front passenger seat, the airbag would not deploy. I have taken the car to the nissan dealership, while this car was under warranty with same complaint, but they could find nothing wrong. Funny, how 2013-2014 altimas are being recalled for this exact problem, but the earlier model years have not been. |
