2013 Nissan ALTIMA Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	991021
Internal NHTSA #	10522087

Model	ALTIMA

File date	13/05/13
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Front seat passenger "airbag off" light operates intermittently when my wife (98 pounds) is the front seat passenger. Nissan engineers and technicians stated that the airbag system on our altima was "operating as it had been designed to operate". This is after replacing the computer and front seat sensors which were determined to be defective. It was suggested that my wife was moving around and that triggered the light to intermittently come on or off. This is not the case, the warning light can come on or go off while my wife is sitting perfectly still in the seat. Front seat passenger safety is very important, that is why airbags are required on new vehicles. Because my wife only weights 98 pounds she should be protected when in the front seat of the car. The consumer affairs representative told me that my wife would be safer with no airbag deployment. With the light on sometimes and sometimes not, where is the front seat protection that the engineers designed?
