| Description of the problem | Various times the passenger airbag off indicator will come on a stay on even if a passenger is stilling in the seat. It sometimes says on until the car is turned off and then restarted or can stay on for 30 minutes or more and then go off. Sometimes the red dash seatbelt light will come on even when just the driver in the car and the driver's seatbelt is fastened. I have brought the car to the dealer three times relating to this and they did not find anything wrong, the third time the mechanic said that it happens with his altima also and he thinks it is just running a self-test. I don't agree and it worries my passengers when it come on in the middle of a trip. It worries me also that both indicators seem to be random on when they illuminate. Several times when i drop off a passenger and the car remains running and gets out of the car, the red seatbelt indicator comes on as if the passenger is still in the passenger seat without the seatbelt fastened. |
