There is a fault in the sensor for the front passenger-side seat airbag. It fails to properly sense that an adult is occupying the seat. The airbag-off indicator light often is lit when an adult who weighs approximately 102-105 pounds, is sitting in the front passenger seat. I brought this to the attention of our dealer, clay Nissan of newton, mass. In December 2015. The dealer charged me $99. 99 but failed to fix the problem. Their report stated that the airbag system was "operating as designed. " obviously it wasn't. Newer Altima models have been recalled for this exact problem. The 2011 Altima also should be recalled ASAP.
Driving on the freeway on my 2011 Nissan Altima 2. 5s at above 65 mph, the passenger air bag light came on showing it was off/ disabled and stayed off for the whole trip duration - about 45 minutes. Air bag light location is in the center of dashboard and should light up when is disabled or no person is sitting on passenger seat. This is clearly a malfunction and should be corrected by the manufacturer to protect human lives. Air bags save lives and they should work all the time not intermittently.
When passenger (approx 150 lbs) sitting in passenger seat, air bag light off. This occurred January 2012, noticed again 5/2012, both times took to dealer. Contacted Nissan directly 8/2013. Want this issue documented as it's not consistent; therefore, when you take to dealer they cannot duplicate this and do nothing.
Vehicle was backed into at approximately 0-5mph at 2,100 miles while legally parked. Since then, neither south point Nissan of austin TX or town north Nissan of austin TX have been able to explain why my srs airbag light comes on. 12+ repair attempts, almost 3 months in service (two days from now it'll have been in for a whole month this time alone) insurance carrier blames Nissan for veh. Defect, Nissan blames collision. I have full coverage and extended warranty youd think somebody here would make me whole. Nissan techs are literally "throwing parts" at the car (module, sensor, etc) with no conclusive diagnosis in 6 months and now they've torn my dashboard and car apart to replace all of the srs wiring -- but said wiring harness is on "back order" with no eta. Lemon law apparently doesnt cover me and attorneys wont touch it because of stupid inconsequental parking lot collision which does not explain suspected major component failure or suspected wiring issues safely deep inside the car/dashboard. Please explain how getting backed into destroyed wiring inside the car. This is a serious electrical/safety defect.
