Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2015 Nissan Altima

I just called Nissan. On June 8 18 I took my car to chandler Nissan for pre purchase inspection. They said it had a recall for the transmission, checked it and said everything looked fine. I received a quote on the extended warranty while there. I later called and emailed to extend my warranty but kept getting the run around. Fast forward to this weekend, getting on the freeway no acceleration at all. Rpm just through the roof. Its done that a few times now, since the day I bought it (after inspection) it would lag to accelerate just not totally like it did now. I'm a girl and thought that was normal it just didn't pick up and go and whined a little. Todays miles = 61850. Called Nissan, they will look into it and get back to me. . . The car had 57468 miles at the time of inspection and was under warranty. The other issue was about a month ago, before I hit 60k the side airbag alert went off. After restarting the car it disappeared. Took it to midway Nissan and they said could be a faulty sensor or could be a defect in the airbag but its not covered under warranty. They quoted $1400 to fix that. I forgot to tell the Nissan rep that when I called but I will do so when they call me back. Hoping they will be helpful. I will update as I get more info.

Takata recall passenger side airbag sensor is functioning abnormally. It will show the airbag off when there is no one and nothing in the seat at times and then will show the airbag to be functioning at others. It will also be erratic when I am sitting in the passenger side. I weight 120 lbs. Most times the airbag will show it is off and only register on for brief periods.

Niissan has tried to repair the passenger side airbag four(4) times. Intermittently turns off with passenger in front passenger seat. They have tried everything, but will not take car back. This was a recall already issued. To make matters worse my rental car is a 2017 Nissan Altima & it does the same thing. This happens when car is in motion or parked & running. This is a problem since June 2016. All videoes are too long to add.

The contact owned a 2015 Nissan Altima. While driving 35 mph and making a left turn, a vehicle crashed into the front driver's side of the contact's vehicle. The driver's side air bag deployed. The driver sustained injuries to the knee, neck, back, and right hand, which required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and deemed a total loss. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was unknown.

Car in motion passager side air bag senor comes on and says off when someone setting in seat.

When stationary and driving, the front passenger side airbag says off when my wife is sitting in the front passenger seat. She weighs 106 lbs. The light will go off eventually but comes on all the time she is sitting in the seat. It goes on whether on a city street or highway at any speed.

Tl-the contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that the when the passenger side seat was occupied, the air bag sensor failed to recognize that the passenger was in the seat. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the passenger side air bag sensor needed to be recalibrated. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was unavailable. Ss.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that the passenger side air bag indicated that the passenger side seat was occupied when there was no occupant.

The failure mileage was 19,875.

While driving alone on 03/12/2015 noticed the airbag auxiliary light come on in my new 2015 Nissan Altima. The Altima was serviced for this on 03/18/2015 and the light was reset with the technician stating the passenger side airbag sensor was under recall. Then, while driving on 03/22/2015 the airbag auxiliary light came on once again, also when I was the only occupant in the vehicle. The Altima was serviced again for this issue on 03/25/2015 where the technician stated objects left on the passenger seat (laptop bags, etc. ) can cause the sensor to go off and that it's a known issue. They recommended to not put anything onto the passenger seat aside from an adult person. Although I have placed a bag onto the passenger seat a couple of times while driving, the airbag auxiliary light never came on while anything or anyone was in the passenger seat. Then again today, 03/26/2015, the airbag auxiliary light came back on in my 2015 Nissan Altima while I was driving with nothing/no one in the passenger seat.

Since the purchase of the vehicle in sept 2014, I have had recurring issues with the passenger side air bag. When my daughter, who is 5'9" and weighs 150 lbs is in the seat the "air bag off" light will randomly illuminate. She is not fidgeting in her seat. She is sitting evenly in the seat and not moving. I have taken it to the Nissan dealer 4 times. The first two times they claimed to have read the error messages and reprogrammed it. The issue continued, the third time it was in, they replaced the sensor in the seat. The problem persisted after the sensor was replaced. I was then directed by the dealer to file a claim with Nissan. I did so and they dispatched a dealer service technician to evaluate the car. He claimed that he could not recreate the issue and that there was nothing that Nissan could do. His report indicated that the "system is working as designed". I received a copy of a technical service bulletin dated August 29, 2014 which states that occupant classification system (OCS) responds to different seating posture and may be operating normally. I was also told by the technician that if it happens to have the passenger get out and get back in to reset the system. I have never had a car where the passenger had to sit a certain way or get out of the car to make the air bags work properly!! I requested to have my case escalated to the next level and was told there was not a next level. The safety of my children is of extreme importance to me and I have no assurance that the system will work if tested. Unfortunately, the only way to test it would be to get in an accident. I do not want to take that chance!! I have requested a buy back from Nissan and am awaiting their response.
