Description of the problem	on august 17, 2015 i noticed that my air bag light was flashing in my 2010 nissan altima coupe 3. 5.. The next day i went to my dealership to have it looked at. They informed me that there was a "short' in the steering wheel airbag meaning that the airbag would not deploy if needed. I contacted nissan with my concern about the short being a defect with only 58,133 miles on the car. Airbags should not have "shorts" in them for deployment!!! After 2 weeks they offered to pay for 1/2 of the cost of the replacement of the airbag. This indicated to me that they realized there was a defect with the airbag. I felt that they were responsible for more that just 1/2 half of the cost. They felt different. I was left with no choice but to accept their offer or drive with a defective airbag or pay the full cost of the replacement. This was the 2nd problem i had with an airbag with the car. They covered the cost the 1st airbag. Considering the problems with airbags in nissan cars, i feel this might be another problem for nissan that they do not fully acknowledge. I am curious if there are any other nissan altima owners who have experienced the same problem with the steering wheel airbag.
