Brand	NISSAN
Model	ALTIMA
Model Year	2013
File date	27/09/15
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The car randomly displays the front passenger airbag deactivation light when the seat is either occupied by someone weighing 130-180 pounds or the seat is empty. All components of the front passenger system have been replaced and recall number 14v138000 has been performed. Since this randomly happens, nissan says "if they can't duplicate the problem, they cannot and will not fix it." this started at approximately 20,000 miles and has continued since. The vehicle was being driven on the roadway and the light will sometimes come on. A nissan rep said today, october 29, 2015, that if the front passenger airbag was to deploy while occupied by my wife(5' 5" 180 pounds) or daughter(4' 10" 130 pounds) that "they would be seriously hurt or killed if the airbag deployed." i have pictures and videos showing the malfunction. It has happened on numerous dates.
