2013 Nissan ALTIMA Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Brand	NISSAN
Model	ALTIMA
Model Year	2013
File date	23/10/15
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Passenger side airbag light does not cycle off when a adult is on board. This occurs aprox 15% of the time and requires the car to be shut down and restarted. This mitigates the problem most of the time. Car has been in for repairs for this problem on 3 occasions to include the spring 14 algorithm recall. If anything, the computer reprogram made it worse. Nissan dealers have no fix and ignore the problem. Dealer treats me like it is my imagination even though i have video recorded the light on at speed several dozen times. My car is a lease and it is going back in 6 months. This problem is dependent on the "boot" process failing. The light does not come on during travel if it properly cycles when the car is started. If the light successfully goes out 5 seconds after start, it stays out. I am assuming that the passenger airbag is engaged and will function? This problem has occurred from the very first day until now, ongoing.... 35800 miles.
