| Description of the problem | From time to time the warning light that states that the front passenger air bag is not working comes on. When this occured the passengere was an adult at a weight greater than 150 pounds. The only way to get the light to go off and have the air bag work was to turn the car off and then start it again. This has been back to the dealer and they can find nothing wrong and nissan will not do anything. This happened too on an a 2013 model of the altima as well. No one was hurt - the air bag did not open, just this supplemental system stated that it was not working.. |
