2013 Nissan ALTIMA Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1143600
Internal NHTSA #	10668768
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	ALTIMA
Model Year	2013
File date	25/10/14
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	As many others have previously reported, this 2013 altima will not detect an adult passenger (140+ lbs) and will turn off the passenger airbag. The initial safety recall work was performed on the car (prior to our purchase of the vehicle), but the problem continues to happen. We have talked to several dealers who have not been able to do anything to fix the problem because it appears that nissan doesn't know how to fix it. This huge safety concern makes the car unusable when we need to have more than one person in the car and we cannot get the airbag to work properly. Nhtsa: please force nissan to do something about this issue!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
