| Description of the problem | Bought 2013 altima in feb. In march noticed the passenger light was on when someone was sitting in the seat. Followed by on and off frequently. Took the car to the dealer..... Said he found sensor was bad. On nov. 5,2013 it happened and returned to the dealer who said it showed no errors. Told me it was safe but if the light came on take a picture. It came on twice on 11/8/2013. I am at a loss of what to do other than hold nissan libel for not fixing an obvious safety defect. I will return to the dealer later this week in november 2013. How can we get nissan to react to our protection on an obvious complaint from so many owners? |
