| Description of the problem | Hello, i have taken my brand new nissan altima 2014 4 times to the dealership for the problem nissan has been having. When there is someone over the weight limit sitting in the passenger side the air bag light that indicates if its on or off does not come off. Stating that the airbag is off even though someone is sitting in he passenger side with the weight requirement. It all started on 11/10/14 and was told nothing was wrong, took it again on 1/14/15 and they said they found a code ( b00a0-00) indicating the airbag would turn off. They told me they fixed the problem by replacing the sensor and control unit and performed zero point reset. The problem came back again on 2/3/15 and was told that there is nothing wrong and that if it happens just pull over and turn off the car until the lights turn off and does not come back on. Took it again for the same problem in march and was told that they could not do nothing even though they knew it was not working as intended. |
