2013 Nissan ALTIMA Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1039057
Internal NHTSA #	10563833
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	ALTIMA
Model Year	2013
File date	23/01/14
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I have had the 2013 nissan altima in for service 5 times for the occupancy sensor in the front passenger seat. The air bag is off per the lighted indicator on occasion when a passenger rides in the front passenger seat. I have contacted nhtsa for the specs on the sensor. Nissan submits these specs to the nhtsa for compliance regulations. The specs state that the passenger must be over 108 pounds for the air bag to be activated. In the case of all the front riding passengers in my 2013 nissan altima, this requirement was well exceeded (150+ lbs). Please review the follow link for facts. Http://www. Ecfr. Gov/cgibin/textidxc=ecfr&sid=4e1f9e91060ea3f99991e14608a174c1&rgn=div8&view=text&node=49:6. 1. 2. 3. 37. 2. 7. 43&idno=49 **please note that a 5th percentile human female weighs about 102 lbs and a 5th percentile female test dummie weighs 108 lbs. I am not confident that our local dealership can or will repair the vehicle after 5 attemps (3 sensors and 2 sensors "resets"). I have opened a case with nissan and will be submitting the lemon law documentation. I am seeking full replacement of the vehicle with a new 2013/2014 nissan altima or full amount paid (car, down payment, trade in, tax, tag and tile).
