My wife and I were out driving and I noticed my air bag light was on and so was the yellow light in the middle of the dash that said the air bag was off for the passenger. I took it in for servicing at the dealer in Winchester Virginia and was told two sensors were bad and they had one but had to order the other one. I am fine with that and we set up a time to have the repair done after the part came in. We took it in and it took no time to fix and the light is off now. But after further thinking I though why won't they pay for this? I am only just over the mileage by 1000 miles but of course the time ran out in 2017. I felt they should make an exception since it is a safety issue and the car has so low miles on it.

I was informed by the dealer that Nissan would not do anything about it but they gave me Nissans number to call. I just got off the phone with the man and he said they cannot do anything about it. It would be nice to get reimbursed for the repair especially since it is a safety issue. I am so disappointed and I told the man that too. I am a loyal Nissan owner. I was told at the dealer that it was a federal warranty on the air bag system 5 years or 60 k, is if that is the case I am out of time there too. The man at Nissan says he has not heard of a federal warranty for the air bags. I notice on this web site there are plenty of complaints on these cars and plenty of air bag recalls for Nissan models. Sounds like there should be one for the sensors also. Thank you.

For years now, the airbag "off" indicator lights up sporadically even when an adult is sitting in the passenger seat. It has been to the dealer for reprogramming twice, with no change in how it acts. We have in possession yet another recall notice that the entire airbag system needs replacement. Baloney. They're not tearing apart the entire dashboard and steering column, which would be necessary for such surgery, and then we live with the resulting squeaking noises that will absolutely happen. And no guarantee that such drastic measures will even cure the problem. If the airbag is not functional without this being done, so what? The lack of an airbag does not cause injuries. It's the CRASH that causes the injury. I drove vehicles with no airbags for decades. And lived. I am now enjoying NOT spending all that time at my dealer.

Problems started as soon as one month after purchase. Nissan recall update did not fixed the problem. Imagine every time my wife is sitting next me and it shows air bag light off. It's unsettling. Complained to dealer several times and every time they told me that my wife is too light and system does not register her weight. My wife is a small person and her weight is about 110 LBS. Nissan should do better than this. And now I am having issues with AC blowing hot air. A lot of complaints from drivers but Nissan does not want to do anything to fix the problem. I am not buying Nissan again and would not suggest to anybody. Really bad experience from the start.

For the fourth time since new, the airbag light is on indicating the airbags are not functional.

The drivers side airbag was "repaired" July 14th 2016 when the dealer claimed the connector under the seat was "loose" AGAIN. No objects under the seat, no passengers feet under the seat...cause, unknown

Same day, they "fixed" the recall for the passenger side airbag by resetting the seat sensor. for the third time. The passenger side airbag light is now always on, which states the airbag is off. It doesn't matter if someone is in the seat of not. it is always on.

Nissan uses inferior parts where they shouldn't. What is the point in having inferior connectors under the seat and have a sensor in the seat that never works and prevents the airbag from deploying? The default mode for a defective sensor should be the airbag is ON, not OFF! May as well not have airbags! How many people have died or been seriously injured as a result of the airbags NOT deploying because of defective parts when they should have?

I now get to take it back to Nissan and have them tell me it will cost $1100 to fix and not get it fixed because I don't have $1100 to drop on a two year old car.

Update from Dec 22, 2016: it was repaired Sept 09, 2016, not july 14.

On May 19, 2014 brought my Nissan into Coon Rapids Nissan for a recall on the Airbag system. Previous to this I had no issues with the airbag system. Nissan supposedly performed the "fix". On June 12, 2014 less than a month later I brought the car into the same Nissan dealership because the airbag light was coming on while I had a passenger in the passenger seat. The sensors needed to be replaced and program the system. This however, did not solve the problem. Later same issue arose. I will detail in another posting.

This is 3rd time the 2014 Altima was brought in for Airbag problems. Prior to recall I had no problems. on 05/09/14 I had the recall performed. On June 12, 2014 I brought it in for the second time because airbag light was coming on when a adultn passenger was in the occupant seat. Computer at Nissan verified there was a problem with the "Airbag Pressure Detection Sensor" They replaced the sensor and they said "no more issues at this time."

A few times after this the airbag light would come on again while driving and with an adult passenger. I brought it in again on Jan 30,2015. AGAIN they found codes for the passenger occupant sensors and according to their report "replaced pass occupant sensors." cleared codes and according to them "no more issues at this time"

However Six days later just starting a long vacation trip on Feb 5 2015 the airbag light came on again. Thankfully after 1 1/2 hours the light went off. The lingering problem and anxiety we have is --do we know that the system is even functioning properly when the light is off.

I had purchased a new Altima S in July 2014 and started getting lots of problems, I paid around $8,000 for this car and within 6 months had to face lots of problems starting with the electrical system then followed by the air bags and then recently even got a recall letter from Nissan. I had to trade in the car and the dealer straightaway depreciated $3000 instead of understanding my situation . I had to buy a new model of Nissan Altima SV and thus ended up paying $5000 extra. Why can't Nissan understand the plea of client and at least provide me back the reimbursement of the loss that I had to sustain owing to faulty machinery in that car. I had been to the dealer so many times and all the time they said that there was no issue, they could not detect nor fix the issue, which is really quite embarrassing.

I AM WRITING REGARDING PROBLEMS WITH THE NISSAN AIR BAG SAFETY SYSTEM IN MY 2014 ALTIMA. I PURCHASED A 2014 ALTIMA IN AUGUST AND HAVE HAD A RECURRING INTERMITTENT PROBLEM OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON AND REMAINING ON WHEN I HAVE AN ADULT PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE. MY WIFE WEIGHS 120 POUNDS YET IT IS NOT INFREQUENT FOR THE LIGHT TO GO ON WHEN WE START THE CAR AND THEN REMAIN ON FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, USUALLY BETWEEN FIFTEEN AND THIRTY MINUTES. IT MAY ALSO COME ON AND STAY ON IF SHE GETS IN THE CAR AFTER I HAVE STARTED IT.

SINCE LOCAL TRIPS ARE OFTEN LESS THAN THIRTY MINUTES, THERE ARE TIMES WE COMPLETE A SHORT TRIP WITHOUT THE LIGHT GOING OUT. THE LIGHT WILL ALSO COME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE WE ARE DRIVING. DURING ONE OF THESE EPISODES THE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE, REMAINED ON FOR JUST OVER AN HOUR, AND THEN WENT OFF. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR EVALUATED BY NISSAN TWICE AND ARE REPEATEDLY TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. I ALSO WROTE AND SPOKE WITH NISSAN CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THERE IS NOTHING UNDER THE SEAT. THERE ARE NO CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND MY WIFE IS NOT TURNING AROUND IN THE SEAT. I HAVE PICTURES (I CAN FORWARD IF DESIRED) THAT SHOW THE PROBLEM WHILE WE ARE ON THE ROAD.

FAST FORWARD TO APRIL 20, 2015, AT THE REQUEST OF NISSAN, I MET AN ENGINEER NAMED PETER AT THE DEALER. AFTER A SHORT DRIVE AND AN INSPECTION IN THE SHOP HE SAID THE SYSTEM WAS OPERATING NORMALLY AND THEN PROCEEDED TO DOWNPLAY THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FRONT AIR BAG SAYING, "THE SEAT BELT RESTRAINTS AND THE SIDE AIR BAGS WILL PROVIDE THE PROTECTION NEEDED IN THE EVEN OF AN ACCIDENT. REALLY? IN OTHER WORDS, NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

I have brought my Altima back to dealership numerous times. The Passenger Air Bag Off light comes on and stays on when passenger seating in car. Also, the light comes on for approximately 10 minutes then shuts off when no passenger is in front passenger seat! I have video and have given same video to my service manager several times. They still have not fixed the problem. First started in November 2014 now March 2015. Car has been back to dealer 3 times, they either cannot recreate or are still scratching their heads.

I will upload video and photos as soon as I copy from my phone.
