The passenger seat does not always detect an adult sitting in the seat. The "passenger airbag not on" light comes on, sometimes flickers on and off and on again, when an adult is sitting in that seat. The symptoms appear to be identical to campaign 08v521000, but Nissan says my VIN is not effected. The airbag has not deployed, so I have no way to know if it will work or not, but since there is a partial recall underway for this very thing, I believe that the airbag would not deploy in the event of a crash.

I bought a brand new 2008 Nissan Altima in July 2008. I have had ongoing problems with the passenger airbag light turning on and off while I have a passenger who weighs 125lbs. When the light turns on, this means the airbag will not deploy. I've taken my car to the dealer twice for this problem and they said they can't duplicate it nor fix it. I've called the Nissan consumer hotline number more than a dozen times and just seem to get the run around. I'm told my file was "assigned" to someone, but this "someone" can't seem to return calls nor answer my calls. I'm astounded that this problem with my airbag is not elevated to a priority status as there will be a very large lawsuit against Nissan if my passenger is injured or killed due to the malfunctioning airbag sensor. Please help. I feel totally helpless with this issue.

The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that the passenger side air bag has been failing ever since the vehicle was purchased. She noticed that when a passenger is seated in the passenger seat, the air bag will display off when it should display on. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they reset the air bag module; however, the failure continued. The contact is concerned that the air bag may not deploy in the event of a crash. A report was filed with the manufacturer and they stated that the contact would receive a call back by may 26, 2009. She was also informed that no compensation would be provided because the VIN was not included in the recall regarding the air bag failure. The NHTSA campaign id number was unknown.

The system improperly classifies an adult front seat passenger as a child or as an empty seat, illuminating the passenger air bag is off on the dash. The dealership has stated that when this is illuminated the air bag would not deploy in a crash. They have failed to diagnose this concern stating that there would need to be an error showing up on the driver dash in order for testing to be done. I have noticed that Nissan has a recall for this exact problem with vehicles in the model years of 2013-2017. I believe that this problem extends well beyond the years stated in the recall and should be examined further. Nissan consumer affairs has refused to acknowledge this concern without supporting documentation from a diagnostic testing.
