| Description of the problem | The passenger side air bag light came on as i was a passenger in the front seat of the altima. Therefore, the air bag turned off which is a safety issue. I am a 5'7" adult female weighing around 140 lbs. I contacted nissan corporate offices today and they said there is no recall on this problem for this vehicle. However, i noticed online that there have been numerous recalls for this problem on other nissan altima's, so why not this one? Is this an ongoing issue that has not been corrected? I will also be sending a complaint regarding our 2008 altima that has the same problem. This problem has not been fixed on this 2008 vehicle, either. |
