| Description of the problem | Driving on the freeway on my 2011 nissan altima 2. 5s at above 65 mph, the passenger air bag light came on showing it was off/ disabled and stayed off for the whole trip duration - about 45 minutes. Air bag light location is in the center of dashboard and should light up when is disabled or no person is sitting on passenger seat. This is clearly a malfunction and should be corrected by the manufacturer to protect human lives. Air bags save lives and they should work all the time not intermittently. |
