| Description of the problem | I love my altima. But recently it's an expensive pain in the neck. Recently my airbag lights came on. Took it to the mechanic and he said my airbag sensors are not working. Since the sensors is in the seat, i have to pay $3,100 to replace the bottom cuahion in the passenger side of my car. My has wasn't in an accident, there was no moisture in my car to cause this problem. I've looked online and airbag sensor on the passenger side of altimas has gotten a lot of complaints. This is not a cheap fix and there's too many nissan owners complaining about their 2009 nisaan altimas passenger airbag sensor failure. Nissan need to fix this before someone gets hurt. |
