2013 Nissan ALTIMA Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Internal NHTSA #	10537990

Brand	NISSAN
Model	ALTIMA
Model Year	2013
File date	15/05/13
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The airbag light on the dash that signifies if the airbag is off or on is inconsistent. The light is supposed to light for a brief 7 second boot up period then extinguish, regardless if there is a passenger or not... With the exception of a under weight passenger with the seat belt fastened. The most common irregularity observed is for the light to extinguish as expected however with a passenger that weighs well over 100 lbs, the light will come on randomly while the vehicle is at high speed and not extinguish until the vehicle is shut down. The first dozen times or so, i would ask the passenger to move their weight or wiggle to attempt to have the light go out and re-engage the airbag but this was to no avail. Once the light trips while the car is underway, it will not go out. On occasion the behavior is that the light stays on after the boot period and even when a passenger sits and buckles up, the light stays lit. Again, every indication is that there is no airbag during this period. I took the car to a nissan dealer on august 27th and they said they could not find any "codes" and although they could not guarantee me the airbag system was engaging properly, they could not do any more then reset the system until nissan corp was contacted and offered a tech to look into the vehicle vin record and investigate. I contacted nissan and received a case number (119977748)on 8/28 via phone. Nissan contacted me on 8/29 to advise that the would investigate and contact me in early september as to their findings. I am also attempting to determine if there has been any follow up letter to the nissan corp letter 13v-069 dated 2/28 sent to the nhtsa, recall management division indicating that nissan intended to have a recall for a similar problem. *tt
