2007 Nissan Altima Airbags Problems

Your airbag warning light is on, and the dashboard shows "Passenger Air Bag Off" even when someone is sitting in the front passenger seat. A mechanic found that the sensor under the passenger seat that detects occupants has failed and needs to be replaced. This prevents the passenger airbag from deploying properly if there's a crash.

Your driver-side airbag failed to deploy during a major side-impact collision with another vehicle, despite the car passing a safety inspection 30 days earlier with no warning lights. The vehicle was examined by state police, insurance companies, and independent engineers. This failure resulted in serious injury to the driver.

Your passenger side airbag warning light stays on while driving. A mechanic diagnosed that the passenger occupant sensor has failed, which prevents the airbag system from working properly on that side. The fix will likely involve replacing the faulty occupant sensor in the passenger seat area.

AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS BLINKING. ON A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA NO ONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. IT COST $2,000.00. TO REPLACE. NO DON'T HAVE TO BE MOVING. IT'S WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR ON.

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. IT WON'T RESET. THERE IS A PROBLEM AND IN A CRASH MAY NOT DEPLOY CAUSING HARM TO THE PASSENGER. THE LIGHT CAME ON ONE DAY WHEN STARTING IT ONE MORNING. ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET.

TAKATA RECALL, LIGHT OF AIR BAG IS OFF DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND IS BRAKING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE (OCS) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V521000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. SAW THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF" INDICATOR LIGHT STAYED ON WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED ALONG WITH THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT BLINKING IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL (ALL THE TIME). UPON INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE, I FOUND THAT THE "VARISTOR" IN THE OCS CONTROL UNIT (OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM) IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS BAD. THIS VARSITOR IS THE SWITCH THAT ENGAGES THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG WHEN THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED. THIS WAS RECALLED FOR 2007 NISSAN ALTIMAS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V521000. I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD MY CAR (BY VIN) WAS NOT AFFECTED. WHEN I QUESTIONED WHY I WAS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL, I WAS TOLD THAT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE FOR MY REGION WOULD CALL ME. WHEN I WAS CONTACTED, I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS ALREADY CHECKED AND THAT THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM. WHEN I ASKED HOW MY CAR WAS CHECKED WHEN I WAS TOLD IT WASN'T AFFECTED, I WAS TOLD I COULD TAKE IT TO ANY DEALER AND THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE/REPAIR THE ISSUE. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL AND THE COST FOR REPAIR THE REP. TOLD ME MY CAR WAS "X" MONTHS AND "X" MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. I EXPLAINED THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR A REQUIRED SAFETY DEVICE TO BE REPAIRED NOT A ALTERNATOR OR WATER PUMP. THE REPRESENTATIVE WAS VERY SMUG AND BASICALLY TOLD ME TOO BAD. I ASKED IF IT WOULD TAKE SOMEBODY BEING INJURED IN ONE OF THEIR CARS WITH THIS ISSUE FOR THEM TO DO THE RIGHT THING BUT AGAIN WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO ANY DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE REPRESENTATIVE WOULD NOT EVEN HEAR THAT THE ISSUE IN MY CAR COULD BE RELATED TO THE RECALL ISSUE. PHOTO TAKEN WITH ME SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.

TAKATA RECALL THE CAR OFTEN DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED. SOMETIMES IT TAKES MINUTES AND SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING IT.

TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP. AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING. THEY FOUND PASSENGER SIDE OCCUPANT CONTROL UNIT SENSOR FAILURE. THEY SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION AT A COST OF $2123.88. ALSO, THE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD READS 'PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF 2 ' WHEN A ADULT IS SETTING IN PASSENGER SEAT AND WON'T GO OFF. I CONTACTED NISSAN CORP. AND THEY TOLD ME THIS WASN'T COVERED BY RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AND NISSAN NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY. I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONSE IN THIS MATTER. I WASN'T NOTIFIED ABOUT ANY RECALL DURING THE TIME I HAD THIS CAR. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW.

TAKATA RECALL: WE WERE DRIVING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AT LESS THAN 10 MPH (WE WERE LOOKING AT HOUSES). OUT OF NOWHERE MY AIRBAGS BLEW. WE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AND WE LOOKED AROUND TO SEE IF SOMETHING HIT US AND THERE WAS NOTHING. THERE WAS ALSO NO EXTERNAL DAMAGE TO MY CAR. NO ONE WAS HURT SINCE THERE WAS NO MOMENTUM, HOWEVER, NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND THEY REFUSE TO SEND ME THE REPORT. I HAVE LEFT NUMEROUS MESSAGES WITH REP. DEHENRY KIDD (615-725-7639 /CASE NUMBER 29409439).I WAS ALSO TOLD THERE WAS NO ESCALATION PROCESS.

TAKATA RECALL

THE ENGINE SOMETIME STALL AND RAV HIGH WHEN TURNING CORNER

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TURNS OFF WITH ADULT IN THE SEAT. IF ADULT MOVES AROUND THE WARNING LIGHT GOES OUT BUT RETURNS WITHIN MINUTES. ALTHOUGH NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH A VARIETY OF ALTIMA MODEL YEARS THEY IGNORE MY SAFETY COMPLAINT. THE FACTORY SAYS SEE THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE. IF THE SERVICE DEPT VERIFIES THE PROBLEM HAVE THEM CONTACT US. THE SERVICE DEPT SAYS CALL THE FACTORY. SERVICE DEPT SAYS INSPECTION IS MY RESPONSIBILITY AND COULD COST $200 OR MORE. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION BUT I HAVE NOT MONITORED IT WHEN PARKED. CANNOT 100% SAY IT IS ONLY WHEN IN MOTION.

SUNDAY 10\25\15 MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON 118 IN VENTURA COUNTY AT 5AM. A LARGE ANIMAL RAN IN FRONT OF THE CAR, SHE SWERVED AND HIT SOME CONSTRUCTION SIGN/SANDBAGS. SHE LOST CONTROL SPUN ACROSS ROAD, MAY HAVE FLIPPED AND ENDED UP IN A DEEP DITCH. ALL AIRBAGS DEPLOYED BUT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THIS AIR BAG HAS HAD SENSOR PROBLEMS BEFORE AND WAS REPLACED DURING A RECALL BECAUSE I INSISTED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED, THE YOUNG LADY WHO RECEIVED A CONCUSSION YESTERDAY DOESN'T AGREE. THE CAR WAS TOTALLED AND ALL OTHER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED BUT THE ONE THAT HAD ISSUES?

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG OFF WARNING INDICATOR WOULD ILLUMINATE WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPIED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V521000 (AIR BAGS) AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 8,300.

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WARNING THAT AIRBAG IS OFF WHEN PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT. DEALER CANNOT FIX SINCE THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE IT. I HAVE IT ON VIDEO WHILE THE CAR WAS DRIVEN AND PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. I WONDER IF OTHER OWNERS COMPLAINED. I HAVE THIS PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE INDICATING THAT THE AIR BAG WAS DISABLED. WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS UNOCCUPIED, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD INDICATE THAT THE AIR BAG WAS ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT LAST SUNDAY AND MY 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA WAS DAMAGED IRREVERSIBLY WITH THE FRONT OF THE CAR, INCLUDING THE ENGINE, PUSHED INWARD AND THE FRAME OF THE CAR BENT. THE CAR WAS HIT TWICE FIRST BY LEFT SIDE BY A CAR COMING AT 50 MILES PER HOUR AND ON THE RIGHT SIDE WHEN MY CAR TURNED AND HIT THE CAR ON MY RIGHT SIDE. WITH THIS SERIOUS DAMAGE, THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I WILL LIKE SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE IF IT IS BECAUSE OF FLAW IN THE CAR. I CANT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THE ACCIDENT WAS BIGGER AND THE AIRBAG DID NOT WORK... *TR

PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED AT RANDOM TIMES (SOMETIMES FOR ENTIRE 20+ MINUTE TRIPS) REGARDLESS OF THE WEIGHT OF PASSENGER (ALL MORE THAN 100 POUNDS, SOME MORE THAN 200 POUNDS). I BELIEVE THE SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE. NISSAN HAS RECALLED SEVERAL VEHICLES OF MY MODEL YEAR, 2007, AND EVEN MY MODEL, ALTIMA HYBRID, HAS A RECALL, BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. I BELIEVE THAT MY CAR HAS THE DEFECT THAT LED TO THE RECALL, AND EVEN THOUGH I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AT LEAST THRICE, THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN RUN IT ON THE COMPUTER FOR ERROR CODES. GOD FORBID WE HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DOES NOT INFLATE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW AND IS ONGOING. THANKFULLY WE HAVE NOT NEEDED THE AIRBAG. *TR

THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM. I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S. AS INDICATED BY THE SAFETY LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN MY VEHICLE WILL TURN ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER SITTING IN THE SEAT. THIS IS DESPITE KNOWING THE PASSENGER WEIGHS FAR MORE (OVER 150 LBS) THAN THE SAFETY LIMITS FOR WHICH THE AIRBAG SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO TURN OFF. THE AIRBAG INDICATOR WILL LIGHT NOTIFYING US THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS TURNED OFF AND WILL OFTEN REMAIN LIT FOR 20-30 MINUTES AT A TIME, BUT THE TIME WILL VARY. BUT ALMOST 60-70% OF THE TIME WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE FOR LONGER THAN 5 MINUTES, AT SOME POINT IN THE TRIP THE AIRBAG WILL TURN OFF FOR A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME. THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND I HAVE NOTIFIED NISSAN CORPORATE, NEITHER OF WHICH HAS RESULTED IN ANYTHING BEYOND A CURSORY INSPECTION WHICH RESULTED IN NO ACTION BEING DONE. THIS HAS BEEN ON-GOING FOR SOME TIME NOW. THE "INCIDENT DATE" REPORTED BELOW IS WHEN I FIRST BEGAN TO NOTICE THE ISSUE. BUT AGAIN, THIS IS AN ON-GOING ISSUE. RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS THAT ON VARIOUS FORUMS, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE TO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM. AND AGAIN, THIS HAPPENS OFTEN ENOUGH THAT I THINK IT MORE THAN ACCOUNTS FOR SIMPLE "SITTING AWKWARDLY" OR IN A WEIRD POSITION. *TW

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHENEVER SOMEONE SITS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD FLASH INDICATING THAT THE AIR BAG WAS DEACTIVATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER ON MARCH 9TH TO HAVE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR REPLACED. IN DECEMBER THE PROBLEM RECURRED WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATING THAT THE AIR BAG WAS OFF. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE AIR BAG LIGHT AND SENSOR AND THEY SENT A TECHNICIAN TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT OR SENSOR; THEREFORE, THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE RISK INVOLVED DUE TO THE AIR BAG SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING AND THE POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS INJURY IN THE EVENT A CRASH OCCURS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,211.

MY 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 S HAS HAD A ONGOING PROBLEM FOR MORE THEN A YEAR NOW. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE LIGHT STATING AIR BAG IS OFF COMES ON. THE INDIVIDUALS IN THE SEAT ARE OVER 100 POUNDS IN WEIGHT. NISSAN HAS TOLD ME THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE WAY WE ARE SITTING AND THAT THE AIRBAG "SHOULD" WORK. SHOULD IS NOT A OPTION. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN MANY TIMES TO NO AVAIL, INCLUDING A "EXPERT" FROM NISSAN TO FIX THE PROBLEM. CAR IS GOING BACK FOR THE DOCUMENTED 6TH TIME ON THIS CONCERN. *TR

2007 NISSAN ALTIMA HYBRID. PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT ILLUMINATES,INDICATING AIRBAG IS OFF, WHENEVER MY WIFE (5FT 3IN , 118LBS) IS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALER WHO TELL ME THAT SENSOR IS FUNCTIONING "ACCORDING TO NISSAN'S SPECIFICATIONS." WOULD LIKE SOME DIRECTION ON WHAT TO DO NEXT. *TR

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT IS NOT ACTIVE WHILE PASSENGER IS IN SEAT. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. MY WIFE AND I ARE BOTH ABOUT 160LBS AND WHEN WE SIT IN PASSENGER SEAT THE "NOT ACTIVE" AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE. I SUBMITTED AN ISSUE ON NISSAN WEBSITE AND HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING. IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY THERE COULD BE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE PASSENGER. NOW THERE IS A RECALL ON THE PRODUCT BUT DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME MY CAR IS NOT LISTED AND I HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT LOOKED AT WHEN I'M STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC INCIDENT DATE SINCE IT OCCURS SO RANDOMLY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THERE WAS AN OCCUPANT SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AT THE TIME. WHENEVER THE AIR BAG SYSTEM DETECTED THAT AN OCCUPANT WAS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V521000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE FAILURES WERE IDENTICAL. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 22,300. UPDATED 08/21/09. *LJ UPDATED 08/26/09. *JB

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR IN THE SEAT OFTEN DOES NOT DETECT SOMEONE IN THE SEAT AND WILL DISCONNECT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM FROM DEPLOYING IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. SPOKE WITH A NISSAN TECH WHO SAID THE SENSOR IN OPERATING NORMAL; HOWEVER, I KNOW MANY PEOPLE TO INCLUDE THE TECH'S AT THE DEALERSHIP WHO KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE! *TR

OUR VEHICLE HAS HAD PROBLEMS FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STAYING ON DURING TRAVEL. WE HAVE MADE NUMEROUS VISITS TO THE DEALER, AND UNLESS THEY CAN REPLICATE IT, THEY CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE EVEN MADE A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW IF THE AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE OR IF THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. WE ARE TIRED OF TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED THROUGH NISSAN AND THE DEALER. WE DO NOT WANT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT TO SEE IF THE AIRBAG WORKS PROPERLY. *TR

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT RANDOMLY GOES ON WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE CAR IS DRIVING. IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES - ONCE WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING BUT SERVICE WAS CLOSED ON THAT SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THREE OTHER TIMES THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM. WAS TOLD IT WOULDN'T EFFECT SAFETY OF PASSENGER. JUST GOT RECALL IN MAIL (1-9-2009) AND READ ONLINE THAT THE RECALL WAS BACK IN NOVEMBER, HAD I KNOWN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER LEMON LAW. *TR

ON 6/2/2008, I REPORTED TO THE NISSAN DEALER THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ALERT LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON SEVERAL INTERMITTENT OCCASIONS WHEN AN ADULT WAS FULLY SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE DEALER CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND REPORTED: "INSPECTED EVERYTHING WORKING AS DESIGNED". ON 10/2/2008, NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V521000 REPORTED A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER ON 12/4/2008 AND THE DEALER PERFORMED NISSAN'S TEST FOR THE PROBLEM UNDER THE RECALL. THE DEALER REPORTED THAT NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. ON THE NEXT DAY AND TWICE MORE IN THE FOLLOWING SEVERAL DAYS, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ALERT LIGHT WAS AGAIN ILLUMINATED WHEN AN ADULT WAS FULLY SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER ON 1/7/2009 AND THE DEALER AGAIN CHECKED THE VEHICLE ACCORDING TO NISSAN'S PROCEDURES AND STATED THAT NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. IT SEEMS CLEAR THAT NISSAN'S PROCEDURE EMPLOYED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE RECALL IS NOT FULLY RELIABLE IN DIAGNOSING THE CONDITION THAT CAUSES THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THIS LEAVES FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS IN POTENTIAL DANGER. *TR

AIR BAG FAILURE NISSAN HYBRID-- THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG AUTOMATICALLY DEACTIVATED ITSELF EVEN WHEN ADULT (EG. 110 POUNDS AND 5FEET 2 INCHES TALL) SITS UPRIGHT. IT ALSO DEACTIVATES OR ACTIVATES FREQUENTLY WHEN THE PASSENGER IS NOT ADJUSTING HIS/HER POSITION AND THERE IS NO NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN ROAD CONDITION. THE BEHAVIOR IS ERRATIC AND HAPPENS 75% OF THE TIME. I AM AFRAID FOR THE LACK OF PROTECTION BY THE AIR BAG SYSTEMS IN THE CASE OF DISASTER. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE BY NISSAN SO FAR. 2 DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AREN'T ABLE TO EXPLAIN THE SYMPTOMS. ONE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT SHOULD WORK BEYOND 120 POUNDS. NISSAN'S GUIDELINE IS FIFTY POUNDS AND NOT 100. THE OTHER DEALERSHIP RAN AN ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTIC ON THE CIRCUITRY AND DIDN'T IDENTIFY ANY MALFUNCTION. *TR

ON THE DASHBOARD THERE IS A PASSENGER AIRBAG STATUS INDICATOR. THE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN I HAVE A FULL GROWN ADULT. ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL THE LIGHT SHOULD NOT COME ON WHEN THERE IS AN ADULT IN THE SEAT. I ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT THIS AND THE SENSOR SHOULDN'T TRIP UNLESS THERE IS SOMEONE THAT WEIGHS LESS THEN 100 LBS. MY PASSENGER IS CLOSE TO 200 LBS, BUT THE SENSOR STILL INDICATES THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SYSTEM IS OFF. THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST MONTH. I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT SERVICED. *TR

I HAVE TAKEN MY ALTIMA TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG PASSENGER SENSOR FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE LIGHT INDICATING THAT THE AIR BAG IS FUNCTIONING IS COMING ON AND OFF RANDOMLY WHEN SOMEONE IS SEATED THERE. SOMETIMES IT WILL INDICATE THAT THE AIR BAGS ARE SHUT OFF FOR THE ENTIRE TIME THAT SOMEONE IS SEATED, AND SOMETIMES IT WILL COME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. THIS IS IRREGARDLESS OF THE WEIGHT OF THE PASSENGER. ALSO, IT WILL MALFUNCTION WHEN NO ONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I AM UNSURE WHETHER THE AIR BAG WILL FUNCTION IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT IN THIS STATE. NISSAN HAS REPLACED THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION 3 TIMES WITH NO EFFECT, AND TELLS US THAT IS THE ONLY PART THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. LAUGHABLY, THEY ALSO TELL ME THAT THE PASSENGERS MUST BE SQUIRMING AROUND. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS THAT ARE FILED HERE, I FEEL THAT IT IS PRUDENT FOR NHTSA TO TAKE ACTION. *TR

I DRIVE A 2007 ALTIMA AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AND AT TIMES STAYS ON FOR A WHILE, UP TO 15 MILES WHILE DRIVING. WE'VE TOOK IT TWICE TO GET FIX AT THE DEALER SHIP AND THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACE THE SEAT LINER AND THAT WORKED FOR TWO WEEKS AND THE BACK TO THE SAME THING. WE TOOK BACK AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. AGAIN THE LIGHT COMES ON ONCE IN A WHILE AND THE DIRECTOR AT THE DEALER SHIP ASK US TO BRING IT BACK, AGAIN THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WE ALSO PURCHASE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND AS OF NOW IT'S STILL MALFUNCTIONING EVERY SO OFTEN. I'M JUST WORRY IT WILL NOT PERFORM PROPERLY WHEN NEEDED. NOW I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I DON'T FEEL SAFE TO CARRY MY FAMILY IN THE PASSENGER SEAT ANYMORE. *TR

I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THEY HAVE BEEN A CONCERN WITH 2007 NISSAN'S, MY AIR BAG SEEMS TO COME ON AND OFF WHEN IT WANTS TO I DIDN'T KNOW IF THIS WAS THE WAY THEY WORK OR IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH IT. BECAUSE WHEN SOME ONE IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IT GOES ON AND OFF CONSTANT. I WILL PUT A DATE IN, BUT CANT BE CORRECT IF IT IS THE CORRECT DATE BUT I PURCHASED MINE IN MAY 2007 I NOTICED IT ABOUT A FEW MONTHS LATER. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS JUST RECENTLY KILLED ON 10/25/2007 DUE TO THE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING ON HER BRAND NEW 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. SHE WAS HIT ON THE HIGHWAY, HIT THE MEDIAN HARD AND LOST BUMPER AND THEN T-BONED IN THE OPPOSITE LANES. HER AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED AND SHE DIED FROM A BROKEN NECK!!!! *TR

I OWN A 05 ALTIMA. RECENTLY I WAS HIT FROM REAR, NO INJURY, BUT AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WAS SENT FOR REPAIRS AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE REAR END COLLISION WAS NOT THE CAUSE OF SENSOR FAILURE BUT THE FACT THE COMPUTER CHIP BURNED. MY QUESTION IS HOW LONG WILL THIS CHIP LAST AND IF YOU SHOULD GIVE YOUR CUSTOMERS A HEADS UP ON THIS INFORMATION ? *TR

WITHIN A WEEK OF PURCHASING THE CAR I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT INDICATING THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS OFF WOULD ILLUMINATED WHEN THE 180 LB HUSBAND WOULD SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT PROPERLY RESTRAINED. NOT ONLY WOULD IT COME ON AND STAY ON, BUT IT WOULD GO OFF AFTER A LITTLE WHILE THEN COME BACK ON. A WHILE LATER, IT WOULD COME BACK ON, THEN GO OFF AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR RESET THE COMPUTER, BUT THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. AT THIS TIME, I HAD A 55 LB CHILD SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND BUCKLE UP THE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. AS I UNDERSTOOD , IT WAS DESIGNED TO COME ON IN THIS SITUATION. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SINCE PUT A SEAT FROM A NEW VEHICLE . NISSAN WAS IN NO HURRY TO SHIP THE DEALER A NEW SEAT INTO THE CAR, BUT THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. NOW, WHEN I HAVE ARTICLES THAT WERE SOMEWHAT HEAVY , 20-30 LB, ) IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WITHOUT THE SEAT BELT BUCKLED THE LIGHT WILL COME ON, GO OFF, AND COME BACK ON AGAIN MULTIPLE TIMES AT ODD INTERVALS. I DIDN'T BELIEVE THE SENSOR IS WORKING PROPERLY WHEN ANYONE WAS IN THE CAR.*AK
