2010 Nissan Altima Airbags Problems

Your airbag warning light stays on after you start the vehicle. This light typically indicates a problem with your airbag system that needs attention. You'll need to have a dealer scan your vehicle's airbag system to identify and fix the underlying issue.

My air bag light is on red

Sensor in the front passenger seat is out making the airbag light blink in the cluster panel. I was told by the Nissan dealership that I would need a whole new seat and that would cost over $1000.

The airbag lights came on and when I took it to Nissan, I was told that it will not deploy if a person was to get in an accident

AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE THE VERY NEXT DAY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AN IT STARTED HAVING ELECTRIC PROBLEMS

THE AIRBAG PASSENGER NOTIFICATION LIGHT KEEPS BLINKING ON IN THE DASH. IT CAN BE RESET, BUT AS SOON AS A PASSENGER SITS IN THE CHAIR THE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. ACCORDING TO THE ADVISOR THE SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ACCORDING TO THE NISSAN ADVISOR NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY IF THE LIGHT IS ON. THIS SEEMS TO ME A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES WHEN CAR IS ON WHETHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. WAS TOLD ITS THE SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION AND THE WHOLE CUSHION HAS TO BE REPLACED. AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF NOT FIXED ASAP. VERY FRUSTRATING...AT A COST OVER $1000.00.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE 2011. MY 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE PASSENGER OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) READS OFF WHEN A PASSENGER IS SEATED. I AM A 6FT 4IN 230 POUND INDIVIDUAL AND THE OCS SYSTEM FAILS TO RECOGNIZE ME WHEN I AM SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, STOPED, AND DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I MADE MY NISSAN DEALER AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE THE FIRST RECALL IN 2013 OF THE OCS SYSTEM AND THEY FAILED TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. MY NISSAN DEALER (PETRO NISSAN HATTIESBURG, MS 39402) LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN FIXED AND TOLD ME TO IGNORE THE OCS OFF LIGHT ON MY DASH. AFTER FOUR NISSAN ALTIMA OCS RECALLS (03/01/2013, 10/20/2015, 04/26/2016, 12/19/2016) I HAVE GROWN MORE CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS AND MYSELF. AS OF 12/04/2018 AT 5:52 P.M. I HAVE DIRECTLY CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE. A REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT NISSAN IS NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY DEFECT IN THEIR VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS EIGHT YEARS OLD AS OF MARCH 2018. I CONTINUED TO PRESS NISSAN'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SAFETY DEFECT AND AFTER SEVERAL BACK-AND-FORTHS THE REPRESENTATIVE SCHEDULED A 'SPECIALIST' TO CONTACT ME TOMORROW 12/05/2018.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING INTERMITTENTLY WHEN CAR IS ON.

TAKATA RECALL. ON NOVEMBER , 12 2016, I TOOK MY 2010 NISSIAN ALTIMA INTO GRIFFIN NISSIAN'S DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY VEHICLE LOOKED AT DUE TO AN AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON THE DAY PRIOR, WHILE IN MOTION. IT'S STILL ON PARKED ALSO. IT NEVER GOES OFF. AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE IN A SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED ME AND STATED THAT THE PROBLEM IS A SENSOR INSIDE THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS GONE BAD AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED WAS THAT COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURE AND HE ADVISED ME THAT HE WASN'T SURE. HE ADVISED IT WOULD BE AN ESTIMATED COST OF AROUND $600.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR THE SENSOR. I THEN RESEARCH THE ISSUE ABOUT THE SENSOR, AND MY RESEARCH SHOWED THAT SEVERAL VEHICLES HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I CONTACTED NISSIAN MANUFACTURE. AND I EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM MY CAR HAD AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT SOMEONE WOULD VIEW THE CASE AND CONTACT ME BACK. THE NEXT DAY SOMEONE FROM NISSIAN MANUFACTURE CONTACTED ME AND ADVISED I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THE AIRBAG ISSUE AT MY OWN EXPENSE. I STATED TO THEM THAT THIS ISN'T A PART THAT HAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND SHOULD BE BACKED BY THE MANUFACTURE AND I EXPRESS HOW THAT SENSOR NOT WORKING CORRECTLY COULD CAUSE MY FAMILY AND I HARM IF WE WERE TO GET INTO A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS FAIL TO DEPLOY. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE FROM GRIFFEN NISSIAN ON 10-15-2014, THE CAR WAS USED, AND HOWEVER I TAKE MY VEHICLE TO GRIFFEN NISSIAN EVERY TIME ITS NEED TO BE SERVICE AND TO HAVE ROUTINE OIL CHANGES.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING 45 MPH DOWN THE STREET AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON MY DASH. I SEE THAT THERE WERE RECALLS FOR NEWER MODELS BUT NOT MY MODEL. CAN YOU TELL ME WHY?

TAKATA INFLATORS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HE SAID IT WAS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. HE SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL. I JUST SEEN WERE NEWER MODELS HAVE RECALLS ON THEM. I WAS WONDERING WHY MY MODEL DOESN'T.

SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG SENSOR DID NOT WORK. HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHICH CONTAINED THE SENSOR FOR THE AIRBAG. NISSAN HAS RECALLED 2013 ALTIMAS TO CORRECT THIS EXACT PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY IT COST ME $800. TO CORRECT MY PROBLEM. I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY OWNER OF AN EARLIER MODEL TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

THE PASSANGER AIR BAG LIGHT IS STAYING ON SHOWING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF. TOOK TO NISSIAN AND THEY ARE TELLING ME ITS THE SENSOR AND THAT THE WHOLE SEAT HAS TO BE REPLACED. IM NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS BUT NISSIAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. I SEE THEY RECALLED 2013-2016, BUT I THINK THEY NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS YEAR MODELS TOO. ITS THE SAME ISSUE THE OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THE ONES THAT ARE RECALLED. IM SO FRUSTRATED. AIR BAGS SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE FIXED IMMEDIATLY AT NO COST! WE BUY A CAR TO FEEL SAFE WHEN WE ARE DRIVING NOT TO WORRY ABOUT OUR SAFETY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, A SECOND VEHICLE CRASHED INTO ITS REAR BUMPER WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH.

MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000. UPDATED 09/08/16*LJ *CN

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR HAS MALFUNCTION WHICH CAUSED THE INDICATION LIGHT FLASHING. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSTIC THE PROBLEM AND THE RESULT WAS TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SEAT. SINCE IT WAS THE AIRBAG SENSOR MALFUNCTION, IT WILL AFFECT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG IF ACCIDENT HAPPENS. THIS IS NOT A WEAR & TEAR ISSUE. IT IS THE MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. I AM AWARE THAT LATER MODELS OF NISSAN'S VEHICLE HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE, NISSAN CORPORATION REFUSED TO REPLACE THE SEAT AT THEIR COST SINCE THIS PARTICULAR MODEL WAS NOT IN THEIR RECALL LIST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHEN THE CONTACT RELEASED THE BRAKE PEDAL COMING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE TAPPED THE REAR OF THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. WITHOUT WARNING, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT AND PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH ON A DAMP ROAD, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE OVERPASS. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A PARKING LOT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

ON AUGUST 17, 2015 I NOTICED THAT MY AIR BAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING IN MY 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE 3.5.. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO MY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A "SHORT' IN THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG MEANING THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY IF NEEDED. I CONTACTED NISSAN WITH MY CONCERN ABOUT THE SHORT BEING A DEFECT WITH ONLY 58,133 MILES ON THE CAR. AIRBAGS SHOULD NOT HAVE "SHORTS" IN THEM FOR DEPLOYMENT!!! AFTER 2 WEEKS THEY OFFERED TO PAY FOR 1/2 OF THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG. THIS INDICATED TO ME THAT THEY REALIZED THERE WAS A DEFECT WITH THE AIRBAG. I FELT THAT THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE THAT JUST 1/2 HALF OF THE COST. THEY FELT DIFFERENT. I WAS LEFT WITH NO CHOICE BUT TO ACCEPT THEIR OFFER OR DRIVE WITH A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG OR PAY THE FULL COST OF THE REPLACEMENT. THIS WAS THE 2ND PROBLEM I HAD WITH AN AIRBAG WITH THE CAR. THEY COVERED THE COST THE 1ST AIRBAG. CONSIDERING THE PROBLEMS WITH AIRBAGS IN NISSAN CARS, I FEEL THIS MIGHT BE ANOTHER PROBLEM FOR NISSAN THAT THEY DO NOT FULLY ACKNOWLEDGE. I AM CURIOUS IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG.

PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF LIGHT INDICATES INOPERATIVE PASSENGER AIR BAG WHEN ADULT PASSENGER IS SEATED. APPARENT SPORADIC OPERATION OF AIR BAG. SERIOUS SAFTEY HAZARD! WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED? AIR BAG SENSOR INDICATES SOMETIMES IT IS OPERATING PROPERLY, AND OTHER TIMES DANGEROUSLY INOPERATIVE. AND IT IS NOT A WEIGHT ISSUE. I ONCE HAD THE LIGHT TURN OFF (MEANING THE AIR BAG WAS ENGAGED TO OPERATE IN A CRASH) BASED ONLY ON THE WEIGHT OF MY BRIEFCASE (HOLDING A LAPTOP) ON THE SEAT! SO IT IS CLEARLY A SENSOR ISSUE. LIGHT ALSO GOES ON OR OFF SEEMINGLY AT WILL. WHILE DRIVING, IT SOMETIMES CHANGES SEVERAL TIMES (ON VS. OFF) DURING A TRIP. STARTED AROUND 22,000 MILES IN ABOUT 2013, AND STILL ERRATIC AT 32,000 MILES IN 2015 (LOW MILEAGE CAR) BASED ON A REVIEW OF PAST COMPLAINTS, THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN, UNADDRESSED PROBLEM OF THIS MODEL SINCE 2010, AND COMPRISES WHAT APPEARS TO BE A WHOPPING PERCENTAGE OF ALL COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE! REFERENCE NHTSA NUMBERS 10705119, 10693858, 10621721, 10551401, 10538101, 10508652, 10462938, 10398851, 10386702 TO DATE. DEALER SAID SENSOR IS IN SEAT, AND ENTIRE SEAT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED TO FIX. REALLY? COST ABOUT $1,000, SO I NOW KNOW WHAT A LIFE IS WORTH TO NISSAN - LESS THAN $1,000, RIGHT? MAYBE A LAWSUIT WOULD HELP, BUT THEY KNOW PROVING THE AIR BAG SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE IS DIFFICULT AND EXPENSIVE FOR THE AVERAGE CONSUMER. KISS YOUR LOVED ONES BEFORE DRIVING WITH THE "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" WARNING LIGHT LIT! WHY THE NHTSA AND NISSAN REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS WELL ESTABLISHED, AND HIGHLY RISKY DEFECT IS TRULY BEYOND ME. CONSIDER A DIFFERENT VEHICLE UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS FINALLY ADDRESSED, IF EVER.

THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG DOESN'T WORK. THE "PASS AIR BAG OFF" LIGHT IS ON AND THE AIR BAG CLUSTER PANEL LIGHT IS FLASHING. I RESET THE LIGHT BUT IT CAME ON AGAIN WHEN SOMEONE SITS IN PASSENGER SEAT. LOOKING AROUND ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS A HUGE COMPLAINT FOR 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

AIR BAG DEFECT. SENSOR FAILURE CAUSING PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG TO BE NON-FUNCTIONAL. DIAGNOSED BY KERRY NISSAN, FLORENCE, KENTUCKY 41042. PHONE 859-371-8191. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM IN 2010 NISSANS. THE COST OF THE REPAIR EXCEEDS $600. PART FAILURE PUTS THE PUBLIC AT RISK. IN ADDITION, THE PART IS NOT READILY AVAILABLE, SO CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH SOMEONE IN PASSENGER SEAT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR FAILED TO DETECT WHEN THE SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

REPEATED OCCURRENCE OF THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT ON WHEN A PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE LIGHT TURNED ON AFTER MY VEHICLE WAS SERVICED FOR A NEW RADIO NEEDING TO BE INSTALLED AND THE REAR SPEAKER BLEW. THE LIGHT HAS BEEN RESET TWICE BUT STILL TURNS ON. WARRANTY IS OUT AND DEALER STATED FRONT PASSENGER SEAT NEEDS REPLACED WHICH IS TOTAL COST OF 1,000. THERE IS RECALL ON THE 2013 2014 MODELS FOR SAME ISSUE. THIS YEAR SHOULD BE ADDED . THE CAR HAS LOW MILES TO HAVE THIS ISSUE. *TR

ON 02/25 I WAS T-BONED BY SOMEONE THAT RAN A RED LIGHT WHO WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND HIT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR/QUARTER PANEL AND I WAS WONDERING WHY IT IS THAT MY SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY? FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, IN A COLLISION WITH THAT KIND OF SPEED AND THE PLACEMENT OF THE IMPACT, THE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED BUT IT DID NOT. WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING REPAIRED, I ASKED THE BODY SHOP TO CHECK INTO WHY IT DID NOT, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FIRING PIN FOR THE AIRBAG, WAS SMASHED TO PIECES. WHICH FURTHER TELLS ME THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY CAR TO MAKE THE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOY. I AM JUST GRATEFUL THAT MY PASSENGER AND MYSELF WERE BOTH UNINJURED FROM THE INCIDENT BESIDES A SLIGHT CASE OF WHIPLASH. EVERYONE INCLUDING THE POLICE OFFICERS THAT ARRIVED ON SCENE AND THE BODY SHOP WERE AMAZED THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE WAS NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT TO HELP PROTECT HER. *JS

MY PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT FLICKERS WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING OR EVEN AN ADULT IS SITTING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT WAS COMMON FOR IT FLICKER BASED ON THE WEIGHT OF THE PASSENGER. NOW, I SEE THAT 2013 - 2014 HAVE HAD A RECALL WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR

DEAR SIR OR MADAM --' MY 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA SUFFERS FROM THE SAME PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT ISSUES NISSAN ANNOUNCED TODAY, 3/26/2014, IN LATER MODELS (2013-2014). THIS SUGGESTS THAT THE FAILURE OF AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY ON NISSAN VEHICLES IS MORE WIDESPREAD--AND COVERS MANY MORE YEARS--THAN NISSAN HAS STATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE SEAT CUSHION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF WHEN SOMEBODY IS SIT ON THE PASSENGER SIT SOMETIMES IS ON AND OFF I TOOK MY CAR FOR CHECK UP TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOT PROBLEM CODES IN COMPUTER BUT THE CAR CONTINUES WITH THE PROBLEM BUT I ASKED ANOTHER PEOPLE AND THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WE NEED HELP BECAUSE THIS DANGEROUS IN A CRASH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED HOWEVER, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE DRIVER WAS REPORTED INJURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SALVAGE YARD AND WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER. A CONTRACTOR INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE AN AIR BAG FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

COMPUTER DOES NOT DETECT FRONT SIDE PASSENGER (ADULT) WHO WEIGH LESS THAN 125 POUNDS AND HENCE AIRBAGS ARE NOT ACTIVATED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, BEFORE THE COMPUTER FINALLY DETECTS AN OCCUPANT. NISSAN CLAIMS THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE AND THE WEIGHT IS SET BY FEDERAL REGULATIONS AND THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WITH THE NUMBER OF ADULT US POPULATION LESS THAN 125 POUNDS BEING HIGH, THIS PRESENTS A GRAVE SAFETY RISK ESPECIALLY IN THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING. *TR

2010 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE PURCHASED THE CAR IN SEPTEMBER 2010. HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AT NISSAN QUALITY OF TEMECULA FOR MULTIPLE ISSUES. THE FIRST ISSUE IS THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON STATING THAT THE AIR BAG IS TURNED OFF AND THIS IS WHEN THERE IS AN ADULT OF 200 POUNDS SITTING IN THE PASSANGER'S SEAT. I AM VERY CONCERNED OF OUR SAFETY IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT.THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAG WILL GO OFF. THE TRANSMISSION IS ALSO GIVING US PROBLEMS.CAR IS STALLING AND JERKING WHILE DRIVING. THE MASTER WARNING LIGHT IS ALSO COMING ON AND I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED TO THE AIRBAG NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN IN SEVERAL TIMES SINCE SEPTEMBER AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. NISSAN WAS OKAY WITH US LEAVING THE LOT KNOWING THAT THE AIR BAGS WERE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. *TR

I OWN A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA, BOUGHT IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR. I WAS REAR-ENDED TODAY BY A LARGE PICKUP TRUCK WHICH FORCED ME TO HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AS WELL AND MY AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED. MY FACE ACTUALLY JUST TOUCHED MY STEERING WHEEL! I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT UNLESS THE CAR IS HIT IN PRECISELY THE RIGHT POINT NEAR A SENSOR THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY!! I HAVE NEVER HEARD SUCH A STUPID EXCUSE AND AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING IF MY CAR GETS "TOTALED" OF GOING WITH A DIFFERENT MAKE - NOT NISSAN! I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF ONE OF MY GRANDCHILDREN HAD BEEN IN THE CAR. I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL TO BE CHECKED OUT AND THANKFULLY I AM "OK" ALTHOUGH MY BACK IS IN PAIN AS WELL AS MY NECK! THEY SAID I MAY HAVE TO RETURN FOR AN MRI IF IT GETS WORSE. *TR
