Airbag light for passages seat belt is on. I had one of them repaired before. What do I do now?.

6 Seats problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2019

The airbag light is always on. When the car is taken to a dealer for inspection, they said that the sensor under the seat is not working properly. We worry that the airbag may not deploy during an accident because the seat cannot sense the people sitting on it. It is definitely dangerous the problem has been identified by a Nissan dealer. The vehicle was inspected by the manufacturer. The airbag light stays on, even after the dealer clearing the code. It seems a lot of Nissan Altima have a similar problem.

8 Seats problem

Failure Date: 07/21/2016

I am contacting you over repeated issues with my 2014 Nissan Altima sl. This is my second complaint filed to NHTSA for this vehicle's airbag. As you are aware, a recall was issued and has been performed on my vehicle. My issue is that the passenger seat won't arm the airbag if my wife sits in the seat. I have multiple videos of this issue. My most recent visit to my Nissan dealer resulted in them stating they couldn't fix anything as they couldn't pull an error code. The very next day, the issue happened again with my wife in the passenger seat and again I recorded it. I opened a complaint with Nissan corporate. After a frustrating phone call this evening, and a lot of ambitious double talk on Nissan's part, the Nissan representative said that the issue was that my wife was too lite. My wife weighs between 103 and 108 pounds as she fluctuates a bit. She stands 5 foot 3 inches tall. The Nissan representative, delisa said that Nissan doesn't recommend anyone under 4 feet 9 inches or less than 120 lbs in the passenger seat. This was never told to me two years ago when I was looking at purchasing the car, or through any of the 6-8 service tickets I have opened regarding this issue with multiple different fixes attempted. ( I can get the exact number as soon as my dealer provides the requested information. ) I would have never bought the car knowing my wife couldn't ride in the front passenger seat. I asked for this in writing from the Nissan representative but she said she could not provide that. She said it was only for their internal records. I pressed her on the fact that they were saying my wife couldn't sit in the front seat. Her reply was that she didn't say that, only that Nissan doesn't recommend someone less than 120 pounds in the passenger seat. Is it possible to be contacted by the NHTSA to clarify what Nissan is saying and if it is accurate?.

The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 12,000.

10 Seats problem

Failure Date: 01/05/2015

The pass. Side air bag off light do not all ways turn off when someone is setting in pass. Seat. Nissan last year had a recall for this problem, they reloaded the OCS software for this problem. I have had 3 problem so far sense the recall. Most of the time there is no one but me in the car so I do not have a idea of how often it could had fail if someone was in the pass. Seat with every trip. I have only taken the car once to the dealer for this problem because the first time I did not think anything about it. The second time I took it to the dealer and after checking it out, they told me that there was noting they could or would do because they had no failure and that Nissan will not let them replace any parts unless there is a failure as Nissan will not pay for the item. Open ref. # 19611123 with Nissan and was told about the same thin, except Nissan said that it was the dealer call but they would not pay for no failure part replacement. I believe is a safety problem and someone with power should look into it, do to the fact there have already been a recall for this problem. No one I talk to at the dealer or on the phone to Nissan would or could do anything about it. The internet has many write up about this problem that no one will do anything about. I guess they are waiting for someone to be badly injured or killed to take the problem serious.

11 Seats problem

Failure Date: 08/26/2014

The front passenger air bag lite stays on while the passenger is seated. Indicating the air bag is in-operative. The dealer performed updates, both software and hardware. The problem was never fixed ! after demanding a factory engineer to inspect the car, the result was: some of these cars , this failure will happen, and there is nothing that can be done" his recommendation was , drive to the side of the road, turn off the car and re-start the car and the "computer" will be reset ! now in excess of 4500 miles, it still fails !.
