| Description of the problem | We were one of the 2014 nissan altima's that was experiencing the passenger air bag issue: even though a full-sized adult was sitting in the seat, the "air-bag off" would be illuminated. It was brought in under the recall in roughly october of 2014. After getting the car back, we immediately noticed that the light was still coming on when a passenger was present. We were told that it could be due to humidity, as we live in florida. But even during the winter months it still read that the air bag was off. This is concerning if it is a safety issue and nissan is not properly fixing the issue. I heard recently on the news that more complaints are coming forward and i wanted to make sure my voice was heard. Thank you. |
