CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2013 Nissan Altima has multiple problem trends including the CVT transmission, and now that this model is out of warranty, it earns our "Avoid Like The Plague" badge.
Well my car has been repurchased from Nissan because of how many times I have had my sensor replaced and yet my airbag kept coming on, I made my first complaint the day after purchasing the car. SO I got a full refund of my purchase. it was like pulling hairs, but Nissan KNOWS there is a problem.
Well I have dropped my car off for the 5th time for this same issue, This time they told me they replaced the passenger sensor, but could not get it to reset, so they had to order another sensor and my car sat for 3 extra days but they installed them, and I recieved my vehicle back on July 5th and on July 6th. the light showing my passenger airbag is off was on while an adult is sitting in the seat. I have tried to have nissan purchase the car back but ll they tell me is that they do not interpret that my car falls under the lemon law but in my state it is if i have a problem repaired 3 or more times and the problem is still occuring, or a safety issue being repaired once and it is still occuring then it will fall under it, so now I have to go and spend more time and money on a lawyer. This is a serious problem. It is also occuring in the new rogues. I have had 2 seperate Rogue loaner cars and they both too have the passenger airbag turn off while an adult is sitting in the seat. I have videos of all three vehicles.
SO I have been having this problem Ever since I purchased this vehicle. The passenger air bag off switch turns on while an adult is sitting in the seat and car is being driven. I have brought it in for repairs 4 separate times. The first time they preformed a "Zero point" Reset. A few days went by and it did it again. I took it back 2 times after that and they kept saying they could not duplicate the problem even though I have video of it on my phone. So I took it to a different dealership to see what they would say about it and the many other problems I am experiencing. They had my car for 10 days. I personally spoke and test drove with the technician and he told me he preformed the zero point reset again. But when I picked it up the paperwork only states that they could not reproduce the problem and no work was preformed. But last night the same night i picked it up it did it again and again I have video evidence of it switching off while sitting in it and driving. This is a HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, and someone needs to makes nissan fix it. oh and the loaner car which was a 2013 nissan rogue did the same exact thing and I have 2 videos of it.
Took car in to dealership. They put it on computer and found no problem. They called Nissan and was told all systems operating to specification. If an accident happens and the airbags didn't work correctly would that be a problem? Please don't wait until someone dies to take this matter serious.
Well I noticed that my passenger airbag off switch light comes on while someone is sitting their. I have brought this in to nissan 3 different times and I am still experiencing this issue. I even took a video yesterday of me i weigh 175lbs sitting in my seat properly and the light was on while the car was being driven. The first 2 times it went in they said the recalibrated it both times. the third they told me they could not duplicate the problem. I am geeting very concerned with this new vehicle as there has been many safety problems with this vehivle and i am being told it is normal operation. I am just waiting to get into an accident and my airbags not deploy. I know I will get millions from Nissan!
