| Description of the problem | Passenger airbag-off light comes on with passengers between 90 and 120 lb -- well above child weight. Reported to two separate dealers, who claim they found no problems and is not covered by any recalls or service campaigns. Yet this is a very common complain on this model (see forum link below). This seems to be just one crash away from a fatality. Here is the forum link (or go there and search for 2013 altima airbag light) where many people are reporting this problem and not acknowledged by nissan corporate or dealers: http://www. Nissanclub.
