The air bag deactivated warning light came on while the passenger seat was occupied. the nissan dealer had the car for about 30 minutes and said that it was fixed. the light continued on and off to come on for the next 8 months. i took it to the dealer and they said there was nothing wrong .... just fine with only one error code in the system and that was from the first time. the car is now home and the light has been on and off for periods of between 5 minutes and a few hours twice since. it clearly is not fixed and they had no suggestion for me except to bring it back when the light stays on for a long period (which it does not). some service huh ? *tr
The passenger airbag light on the dash intermittently stays on, indicating that it is disabled, even with a 150 lb adult seated in the passenger seat. this has been a problem since we purchased the car new in 2013. i have taken the car in many times. the most recent time was about one month ago. this was after we had the recall performed a couple of months ago. what they did for the recall did not work, so i took it back to the same dealer, bill robertson nissan. they had the car all day and they said all they did is check the wire connections and they were ok. nissan knows there is a problem with the passenger airbag system on this model (and others) but so far they either can't or won't do what is necessary to fix this. this is a major safety problem as the passenger airbag won't work if this light is on.
Making a left turn when i was almost finish my turn when i was struck by a motorcycle. the motorcycle struck the passenger rear door of my vehicle spinning my vehicle around. caving in the door the airbags never deploy. my passenger lost his eye do to glass shatter in his face and eye!!!! *tr
Passenger air bag light comes on intermittently with an adult passenger in the front seat weighing approximately 150 lbs. the yellow light (middle dashboard) always comes on when car is started. it usually goes out (as it should) after about five seconds. sometimes it stays on -- sometimes for 15 minutes or more. it sometimes comes on after i have been driving for a while. i sometimes pull over and turn off the car and restart and it usually goes out like it is supposed to. took car to dealership where we bought it. they said they couldn't duplicate the problem. they also said there is a recall for some 2013 altimas for air bag weight sensor problems, but that our vin # wasn't included. looking online, it looks like many people are having same problem. this is a definite safety hazard. when light is on, air bags won't deploy if in an accident occurs. *tr
I noticed that the air bag indicator light came on (indicating no one was in the passenger seat) when an adult was sitting in the seat. i called the dealer and also heard that there was a recall. dealer told me that a fix was unknown at the time and that i should wait for a recall notice. i received a recall notice many months later. i took the car in and something was adjusted/fixed per the dealer but problem was not resolved. i was told that i probably was not sitting in the seat correctly or i was under weight. neither are true. dealer retested and said nothing was wrong but i still have the problem with the indicator light. i do not feel confident that the passenger side air bag would deploy if i had an accident. problem is intermittent. i heard recently on tv that other people like me were still complaining. i thought you should know that this problem may be more widespread since i am also experiencing it. hope i never have an accident in this car! *tr
Air bag deployment. the passenger side air bag will not deploy if the person sitting in the passenger seat weighs below 130 pounds. according to nissan the sensor will not activate if the person sitting in the passenger seat weighs below 130 pounds. therefore if we were to get into an accident which requires airbag deployment, it will not deploy. my partner weighs about 110 pounds. according to nissan the nhtsa mandated this and can not change the setting. *tr
Passenger air bag indicator light indicates that airbag remains off while passenger is in the seat. nissan dealer tech claims that this is not a problem; just the way the system works. he wouldn't even look at it. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan altima. the contact stated that the passenger air bag off warning light remained illuminated while a passenger was occupying the seat. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection however the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure and advised the contact that the passenger side air bag was operating normally. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 11,000 and the current mileage was 12,300.
1. i purchased a new 2013 nissan altima sl in april 2013. after couple of weeks i started noticing passenger air bag off light is always on, whether a passenger sits in passenger seat or not. i went to dealer, they told that there is a recall on passenger airbag sensor and they were waiting for new sensors. after couple of months they received new sensors and they installed it in my car. 2. after installing new sensor i started noticing issues with airbag again. my wife weighs about 110lbs-115lbs, i see 'passenger airbag off' light is on in following scenarios with my wife in passenger seat with seat belt fastened. a. after starting the car 'passenger airbag off' light supposed to on for 7 seconds then go off. but it stays on for a lot more time than that (more than 15 minutes) some times it goes off after 15 min/ 30 min, some times it is always on. this doesn't happen always but happens almost 2-3 times out of 10. if i restart car it works normal again. this happened driving in various speeds from 0 -70 mile/ hour. b. when driving, all of a sudden 'passenger airbag off' light comes on stays on for a while. sometimes it goes off after 15 minutes approximately, some times it stayed on for more than 30 minutes. this happens in very random manner and doesn't always happen. this happened driving in various speeds from 0 -70 mile/ hour with my wife in passenger seat with seat belt fastened. i have took my vehicle to dealer 2 times, they checked but said they couldn't find anything wrong. performed 'passenger weight sensor' reset 2 times suggesting it may fix the problem. but it didn't help. i am still driving my car with weird bugs like this. so in case of accident passenger airbag may not deploy when required, please take an action on nissan to fix this serious safety issue. *tr
The passenger side air bag light will come on intermittently when there are passengers sitting in the seat. the light stays on indicating that the air bag is not functioning. the safety of the passengers are at great risk when this is occurring. the vehicle has been to a nissan dealer numerous times for this safety concern to no avail. *tr
The passenger seat airbag sensor fails to notice a 110 pound passenger in the seat. this results in a warning on the display that the passenger airbag is disabled. the first incident was last fall. the date and mileage above is just a guess, the second time was on or about march 20, 2014 when the warning remained on for about 5 miles or until i stopped and restarted the car at a traffic light. it happened again april 5, 2013. the warning stayed on until i shut off the engine and then restarted it. i am not sure but it may be affected by whether of not her seat belt buckle is engaged before or after the car is started. (please note that this is my wife's car and their is seldom anyone in the passenger seat.) there was a recall for this issue in 2013 and there has been an announcement of a new recall starting soon. both recalls are only for selected vin numbers and neither includes our altima. i checked with nissan corporate customer service and with the dealer and they both confirmed the recalled vehicles do not include our car. the car is titled to my wife [xxx]. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
When the front passenger seat is occupied the passenger air bag light is illuminated indicating the air bag is not activated. this issues has occurred since purchasing the vehicle. i have reported this to the dealership at the 3500 & 7500 service intervals. at the 3500 miles service the action was verified that the sensor was properly calibrated & working properly and should not happen again. the next day the light again came on when my 138 lb son was riding. although this does not occur every single time a passenger is riding, it does occur frequently. at the 7500 mile service i again notified the dealership of the continuing issue. the issue was again verified that the system was working properly. the dealerships response was that the issue was related to using the specified components (seat cushion & sensors) that the nhtsa requires manufacturers to use, leading me to believe the issue is with government specs and not with nissan. if so, the question then would be why doesn't this occur with every car that has an air bag in it's seat? this is the first car i have ever been in that has this issue. with exception that this same issue occurred when i rented a 2013/2014 nissan altima recently on a trip. additionally when i asked, none of my friends or family have ever heard of such an issue. this issue is not resolved. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan altima. the contact stated that the passenger's side air warning lamp illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician diagnosed that the air bag passenger occupant sensor was defective and needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 35 and the current mileage was 4,000.
The car was traveling between 25-30 mph when the driver swerved to miss a deer that had jumped out of the woods. the car went off the road and into some trees and a rock wall. the front end of the car was damaged pretty extensively (total loss), with damage to the drivers side fender and a direct impact to the center of the vehicle pushing the interior bumper approx. 10" back and into the radiator. the airbags did not deploy during this crash. we had been told previously that nissan had a recall for the passenger air bags, and when it was brought to the dealer, nothing was done because they ran a report stating that our vehicle was not due for the recall. after showing the dealer pictures of the damage, their response was that "they couldn't believe that the airbags didn't deploy, and that "they believed that they should have". i have pictures of the damage, and i also have video evidence of my daughter sitting in the passenger seat with the airbag light on stating that the airbag is off. this was shown to the dealer prior to the crash, and still nothing was done to investigate the issue further. when i showed the gm of the dealership the video, and told him that nothing was done to repair it, his response was "god forbid that anyone of us got into an accident and the airbags didn't deploy'!! a few weeks later....that's exactly what happened. i believe there is a huge problem with the airbag systems of these cars, and something should be done before someone is severely injured or killed during a crash. *tr
After owning my vehicle for less than a month , an indicator light came on indicating that the passenger side air bag was now deactivated even though the front passenger seat was occupied by an adult . after the vehicle ignition was turned off and restarted the light disappeared . a few days later the light once again came on to indicate that the air bag was off with an adult in the seat . i took it to the dealer to be serviced ... and was told that it was probably caused by the person " not sitting in the seat correctly " and proceeded to show me how a passenger should sit in the seat ! i explained that once it was on , the light never went back off no matter how the passenger sat .the light continued to warn that there was no active airbag ! after the dealer investigated they said that nothing was wrong with the sensors . they said that" the sensors take a while to adjust " . i inquired as to why nissan had just recalled the 2013 altimas for this same problem ( recall 13v069000 )... but i was told that the problem had been fixed on new vehicles like mine . this air bag deactivated light continues to come on and stay on randomly to this date . the dealer says the only way to diagnose it correctly is to bring the vehicle in while the airbag light off is illuminated . needless to say this is difficult to do .it is going back in for this problem next week . at this point i am unsure whether or not i truly do have active passenger side airbags ... i don't want to have that answered when it is too late ! search the internet ( altima forums ) and you will see a large number of people with the same issue, as well as the same hollow explanation ! *tr
Airbag light is on with front passenger (more than 115lb). went trough the recall (13v069000 )with the replacement of the sensor in passenger seat. it didn't help and at dealership i am told that they can't do anything about it. *tr
Purchased a new 2013 altima for almost 40,000 and since the beginning the car air bags has worked only if you are sitting on your seat before you start the car. big safety concern because we noticed once on the freeway when he had to brake hard that the airbags were off , i could have died. had nissan enginheer test it and they told me i just need to turn the car off and then on after a new person boards the car, ridiculous. i need help ad nobody will do anything. do not buy this car save yourself! told them we did not purchase a car with a major safety problem like this and nissan wont fix this. it has been 4 years now. we have papers that show how many times we have called and brought the car in and nothing. hiring a lawyer is our next step

The passenger side air bag light came on as i was a passenger in the front seat of the altima. therefore, the air bag turned off which is a safety issue. i am a 5'7" adult female weighing around 140 lbs. i contacted nissan corporate offices today and they said there is no recall on this problem for this vehicle. however, i noticed online that there have been numerous recalls for this problem on other nissan altima's, so why not this one? is this an ongoing issue that has not been corrected? i will also be sending a complaint regarding our 2008 altima that has the same problem. this problem has not been fixed on this 2008 vehicle, either. *tr

Passenger presence detection system failed to recognize a passenger and enable the passenger side air bag approximately 30% of the time. dealer reprogrammed the controller. same error occurred 2 months later. dealer reprogrammed the controller and advised against placing anything over about 10 lbs in the passenger seat as this would corrupt the presence detection algorithm. but the dealer couldn't offer any assurance that the system wouldn't fail again. *tr
2013 nissan altima. consumer writes in regards to problems with the passenger seat air bag warning light. *smd the consumer stated the passenger seat air bag light has been on continuously. after doing some research, he found it was caused by the failure of the sensor in the seat that determined whether the seat was occupied by an adult or a child. the consumer installed spacers between the passenger seat rails and the seat in order to raise the seat by one inch. the nissan dealership informed the consumer that altering the vehicle voided the warranty covering the faulty sensor. the consumer believed the changes he made resulted in the passenger seat still being more firmly anchored to the floor pan of the vehicle than the power seat that sat beside it. as far as the sensor was concerned, it could not tell the difference between the seats original configuration and the alterations that he made. the consumer asked the service manager if he restored the seat to its original configuration, would it be considered un-altered; he said no. the very fact that he removed the seat constituted altering it.
i have received a recall on my cars airbags. i have attempted twice to take my car in to have this recall taking care of. the first time, they ( heritage nissan in rome, ga) did not have the part. that was frustrating enough. nissan issued a recall but didn't have the part to fix it. today i took my car back to heritage nissan again today to have this recall fixed. i was told by [xxx] "they didn't have time" really? you didn't have time to fix a safety recall on my car. i called the nissan corporation and was told to simply take it to another dealership.i don't have all day to be running around trying to find someone to fix my car. i did not buy my car at heritage nissan ( bet you can't guess why) but it is closer to my house. nissan recommended pye nissan in dalton. i would have to drive an hour from there to have it fixed. this is ridiculous. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

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 received 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. ihave 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 occurring, or a safety issue being repaired once and it is still occurring 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 occurring in the new rogues. i have had 2 separate 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. *tr
First and foremost, this vehicle is not safe since the air bag light for the passenger has never worked. more than 6 times the dealer has tried to fix to no avail. i wont let passengers sit in the front for their safety. i always have them sit in the back. it looks like i am their employee/driver. also a huge problem is the cvt transmission. it shudders, grumbles and the whole car vibrates intermittently. first the dealer said it was the alternator and replaced it, that didnt fix it so they said it was a bolt, that wasnt it, finally they just gave up and said they dont know and "they cant reproduce the problem" its all a scam. this car is defective.
Passenger air bag off light has been on 9 times while with 140 to 200 lb passenger seated. notified nissan service department and i was informed that it would be difficult to trouble shoot this problem as no code would be generated therefore it would have to have the light on for them to troubleshoot. and i know the light won't stay on long enough for that to happen. also i was told my car was not up for recall. *tr

2013 nissan altima. consumer writes in regards to vehicle passenger seat air bag malfunction. *smd the consumer stated upon leaving the dealership, he noticed a light on the dashboard indicating the passenger seat air bag was not functioning. when the consumer called the dealership, he was advised by the salesperson, that his wife should jump up and down on the seat to correct the problem. on july 3, 2013, the consumer returned to the dealer to correct the problem. the consumer was informed the computer did not indicate there was a problem, and since the vehicle only had a few hundred miles, it should be ok. on july 13, 2013, the consumer returned to the dealer, where the consumer informed them, the light appeared on the dashboard on three separate occasions, while driving on the highway. the consumer insisted that the proper repair be made, only to be told that removing the seat and changing the sensor could not be accomplished at his request and under no condition would the repair be implemented without a recall notice from nissan.
Front passenger seat airbag light comes on while a passenger is sitting in the front seat. this has happened many times since buying the car on 3/202013. the car has been back to the dealer at least 5 times and i'm told everything is working correctly. nissan needs o correct this safety issue. *tr
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 performed 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 performed 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 performed. 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. *tr
The light that indicates my passenger frontal air bag will not deploy is coming on when a normal sized adult is in the front seat. apparently, this is tied to a sensor which is supposed to disable the air bag if someone has a small child (between 30 lbs and 80 lbs) in the front seat due to the increased risk of injury with an airbag deployment. when i first bought the car, it happened approximately 10% of the time i had an adult in the front seat. i have taken my vehicle into the nissan dealership twice for this issue. once i was told that it was inspected with no issues found. and the second time, the dealership performed a re-programming of the computer according to a tsb from nissan that they had on file. since the re-programming was done, the frequency has increased to roughly 30% of the time an adult is in the front seat. the size of the passenger is irrelevant. it happens equally often when my 135 lb wife is in the front seat as it does when my dad or father-in-law (both roughly 180 lbs - 200 lbs) are in the front seat. i love the car, but this safety issue needs to be addressed. the previous recall/tsb has not resolved or even improved the issue. it actually made it worse. *tr

Passenger air bag light stays on while passenger is sitting in the seat. problem started a couple of weeks after i leased brand new car. the problem is ongoing for over a year now. the fox nissan dealership cannot replicate the problem so nissan will not offer any resolution. i've been trying for a year now and the problem persists, nissan or dealership cannot say if the airbag will work in the case of a crash. i'm paying monthly lease payments on a car that may or may not be safe. what ever happened to customer service? took the car in last friday for the airbag recall, problem is still there after dealership updated the software problem. both fox nissan dealership and nissan regional field rep said there is nothing more they can do since they can't replicate the problem. apparently the photos of the problem they had me take we're to make me feel like they actually cared. i can't believe i'm continuing to make payments on this unsafe vehicle. *tr

2013 nissan altima - contacted dealer shortly after purchase concerning passenger airbag disable light coming on when my wife (105 lbs) is sitting in the passenger seat. dealer could not reproduce error and no error codes were found. re-call was performed in may 2014, and did not resolve the issue. after many visits to the dealer complaining about the unresolved passenger airbag issue we were told the seat belt is the primary protection and the airbag is only supplementary. feb 2014 dealer was finally able to reproduce the problem by placing two 50 lb salt bags in the passenger seat. dealer contacted nissan technical support for assistance, but they were told it was within allowable limits, therefore its okay and nothing will/can be done. after purchasing what we thought to be a quality vehicle @ $30,000+ only to find out we have no airbag protection was very disappointing to say the least, unfortunately this will not be corrected until there is a fatality associated with this issue. current mileage is 23,731. *tr
