Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2016 Nissan Altima

I recently purchased this vehicle in February of this year. Upon driving a few times, the air bag sensor light appears and stays on my dash along with when I have a passenger in the car, the passenger air bag sensor does not turn off. It is now March and I still have the same issue. According to the carfax report I received when purchasing the vehicle, a maintenance check was conducted by the local Nissan dealer close to me in January, it only shows the current recall of a hood latch (20v315 - that apparently no part is available for). I was advised by a service repair representative that the air bag sensors under the passenger seat are broken and were not repaired during that maintenance check. I questioned as to why with no explanation given. I advised that this is a safety concern and should fall back under the recall from 2016 (16v244) with the service representative stating that it doesn't!! is it possible for this to be fixed under that recall or does a new recall have to be in effect?? looking out for the safety of myself and fellow passengers. Thank you from a very concerned vehicle owner.

Tl- the contact owns a 2016 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that the air bag illuminated when the vehicle was turned on. The vehicle was taken to the robbins Nissan dealer (281-446-3181, located at 18711 highway 59 n, humble, TX 77338)) where the air bag system was updated. The failure recurred and the vehicle was taken back to the same who diagnosed that the front passenger air bag sensor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 81,000. The VIN was not provided. Fe.

Passenger occupant sensor failed after being replaced, airbag stays off while passenger in seat. Seat belt light stays on while seat is in occupied.

I was involved in an accident where I was driving my 2016 Nissan Altima when I rear ended the car in front of me that was stationary at the traffic light. I was traveling approx 30mph, but when I tried to slow down by gently applying my brakes but my Nissan Altima car did not slow down at all. I then slammed the brakes down firmly, still nothing, the abs did not engage at all. I swerved to my right to try and avoid hitting the car in front of me head on. I caught it's right hand back fender, both front air bags deployed, the impact of hitting the mercedes stopped my car- both airbags inflated. My 90lb, 18 yearold son was sitting in the passenger seat. I brought it up to Nissan on two separate occasions was on and off when my son sat in the front seat. On the first occasion Nissan just reset the passenger airbag sensor. It did not solve the issue, the second complaint, Nissan said it would only go off if my son weighed over 110lbs. In this accident the air bag did go off, considering this car was going to be the car he drove- he has his permit right now, so if the driver weighs less than 110lbs it would not deploy. It does not make sense. Secondly, I believe the Nissan Altima brakes failed in the accident. When the tow truck driver picked up the car on its flatbed, he said that it appeared there was something funky with the foot brake, it was rock hard when compressed. The abs completely failed, I never felt it engage after pushing firmly hard on the brakes. There were no skid marks on the road. I noted the road where the accident occurred had two types of fluid on it, one oily one like coolant. The car was recently serviced, by Nissan van nuys, they replaced the transmission. The car drove incredibly well for a week, but the last few days I noted the sluggishness again returned. My tires and brakes which were all fine. They did replace the brake fluid.

My transmission is constantly kicking back at me, this morning 2017-09-27 my transmission completely gave out. Reving is to 5-6 rpm not being able to exceed 10 mph. The drivers side curtain airbag keeps tripping my airbags to deactivate. Have to had the code reset several times. The back up camera looks like it is loosing signal even though it is hard wired, the lane sensor warnings fail, failing to inform of a vehicle in your blind spot. The key fob continuously says key invailed dashboard.

Airbag sensor is according to the Nissan dealer only activating the airbag if the passenger is over 120lbs. My wife is under this weight and the airbag off light is on every time we drive somewhere. Nissan has tried to play it off saying it's actually safer for an adult under 120lbs to have the airbag off. This is completely unacceptable and I do not have this problem in my vw or my Mazda.
