Tamara inflators- air bag light in dash flashes continuously

- Staffordsville, KY, USA

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 Altima 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.

- Champaign, IL, USA

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.

The engine sometime stall and rav high when turning corner

- Gwynn Oak, MD, USA

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?

I paid pay $398.48 for air intake cleaner, intake kit, basic inj flush and replacing drive belts & fan. I really didnt understand what that had to do with replacing the automatic cvt transmission.] service advisor ignored memo from corporate office not to place intelligent keys to prevent a "no start fault error". on 7/3/13 the car refused to start due to keys being placed together. New cvt transm installed by trophy Nissan still whines, stalls, hesitates, jerks & gears not shifting right. Due to bad service, rude, nasty, unprofessional people at trophy, I took car to courtesy Nissan, richardson, tx in 7/13, service advisor, bob schille contacted trophy Nissan & refused to check cvt. On 8/10/13 at 110,856 mi, I took car to clear lake Nissan, league city, tx. Cvt was whining, jerking, stalling, hesitating, not shifting properly when test driven but yielded no diagnostic codes. On 6/28/14 - 7/1/14 at 118,531 mi, took car back to courtesy Nissan. I was lied to, car was never test driven nor cvt diagnosed. Took car back to clear lake 11/22 still cvt didn't give diagnostic codes. Went back 12/12/14, cvt gives codes for new cvt after abt 25,000 mi. Now warranty has run out! contacted Nissan usa again via phone, then email 5/18/15.
