CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2014 Nissan Altima shows multiple problem trends, continuing the poor reputation of the 2013 Altima, prompting us to give it our "Beware of the Clunker" badge.
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The airbag light comes on the dash and will not turn off. When the vehicle was brought to the dealership they stated the VIN was not included on the vehicle recall list although we are encountering the same issues. The issue occurs whether the car is still or in motion and whether the seat is occupied or not. It's not safe to have a passenger.
On 8/31/2018, I took my 2014 Nissan Altima into the fred hass Nissan svc, dept. For an oil change, in tomball tx and while there, reported that the supplemental air bag warning light was remaining on after 7 seconds and remained on all the while the vehicle was being driven. The service advisor stated that code found was cleared and no repair was recommended. On 9/5/2018, I spoke with (xxxx), svc, mgr. At fred Nissan and informed him that the supplemental air bag warning light was on again. Mr. (xxxx) made a 7am appointment for me to bring my vehicle to the svc. Dept., on 9/6/2018 for further diagnosis and he would contact Nissan for recommendations. Later on, mr. (xxxx) informed me that he had spoken with someone at Nissan and was told that Nissan would not cover the cost of any current or future repairs to the supplemental air system, even though it was a safety issue. Unfortunately, the gold extended warranty I purchased does not cover malfunctions of supplemental air bag system or any of its components. The supplemental air bag warning light continues to come on upon a cold and warm start and remains on while the vehicle is being driven.

I know these takata airbags have already been recalled, why was my car not included? Nissan dealer states that there is no, takata airbags. For my safety and that of my husband. I would like to have my airbags replaced and free for charge, because of the hassle that I'm going through.
With passenger sitting in passenger seat with seat belt on, the light is on the dash at various times, when in park as well as when driving, the air bag is off. We have taken it to the dealership numerous times to report this issue, but it continues to occur.
Takata recall while stopped on a busy street waiting to make a left hand turn, I was rear-ended by a large SUV. My airbag did not deploy and I suffered severe pain to my head, neck, shoulders and back. My Altima was later declared a total loss as a result of the accident.
