| Description of the problem | 2010 nissan altima coupe purchased the car in september 2010. Have taken the car in for service at nissan quality of temecula for multiple issues. The first issue is the air bag light goes on stating that the air bag is turned off and this is when there is an adult of 200 pounds sitting in the passanger's seat. I am very concerned of our safety in the case of an accident. This is a huge safety issue and i am not convinced that if there is an accident the air bag will go off. The transmission is also giving us problems. Car is stalling and jerking while driving. The master warning light is also coming on and i'm not sure if this is related to the airbag not working correctly. The car has been taken in several times since september and nothing has been done. Nissan was okay with us leaving the lot knowing that the air bags were not working correctly. |
