On saturday morning on the 8th of june 2019, i went to start my car. after i did so both of my airbag lights stayed on. even while driving down the road the lights stay on until the car is turned off. i called the nissan dealership of south strand nissan in myrtle beach, sc on june 10, 2019 and they said there could be multiple reasons for the issues, that i needed to go and have the car looked at. i do not remember the agents naklme, and i do not have the money to have them fix a problem that i honestly believe should never be an issue if th3y and the nhtsa did their job right with quality/safety control.

I own a 2008 nissan altima. i was driving down a major highway one evening when all of a sudden the car begins to slow down. i press the gas pedal and the car seems to go even slower. it was myself and my youngest daughter. i was scared to death. the speed limit on the highway was 70 mph and my car would not go over 35 mph. i pulled over to a gas station and a nice man looked at the car and could find nothing wrong with it. so get back on the way to go back because i didn't trust the car to make it to my destination. it did the ame thing again. so i drove with my hazard lights on all the way home and parked it. now it drives fine right in the small town i live in but i cant drive it out of town at all, which really defeats the purpose.

My 2008 altima sedan had about 50,000 miles on it when in december 2017 i experienced an air bag warning light that flashed on the instrument cluster along with a warning light on the dash that indicated the passenger air bag was off. these warnings appeared no matter if the passenger seat was empty or if an adult passenger occupied it. this happened anytime the car was running (stopped or moving at any speed). i went online and found out that my vin was not covered by any active recalls. further research showed that nissan vehicles had many problems with passenger air bag warnings related to sensors and occupant classification systems for a broad range of nissan and infiniti vehicles for several model years since 2007. there was one nhtsa recall (#08v-521) related to this issue that covered my model and year, but this applied to only a small group of nissan vehicles manufactured in 2007-2009 that exhibited a specific diagnostic trouble code. my vehicle was manufactured one month after the last month included in this recall, but the passenger seat air bag sensor was manufactured during the last month of production included in ...
