When an adult passenger (my wife) rides in the passenger seat, the airbag off light comes on. she weights 107. nissan has looked at it and says no problem found.the light comes on when the vehicle is moving and when stopped. this means that my wife does not have a working airbag in the event of an accident. *tr
I have been in a few accidents and my airbags don't work.
Airbag light still on after recall. found airbag control unit code stored abnormal voltage after airbag reprogram was performed. replaced airbag control unit and tested system airbag light no longer on.. per dealer 9/2/16. 10/27/16 i took back to dealer airbag light still not coming off with adult passenger most of the time . sometimes it would work other times light telling airbag was off would not work. it's back at dealer and only has 10,000 miles. i'm really concern for the safety of my family.
Recalled due to the air bag light not working properly. went into dealer and was fixed. 3 times since then the same thing has happened. dealer feels it's not a problem!
After the airbag module was reprogrammed so the light would come on when the passenger seat was empty my brother who weighs 240 pounds sat in the passenger seat after i started the car and we drove away the light did not go out until 20 minutes past. my concern is does the system think he is under 50 pounds?
I was driving through a green light northbound. a truck driving eastbound hit me on the drivers side of car twice resulting in my vehicle facing east bound. airbags did not deploy in a car accident
Having fixed a recall related to airbag sensors, the passenger side airbag light keeps going off (indicating the airbag is off) even when occupied by a 130 pound passenger sitting properly in the vehicle seat (back straight against set back, knees bent at edge of seat, feet flat on the floor) with seatbelt on properly (lapbelt across hips/lap and shoulder belt across the shoulder) this happens repeatedly, though to had to select 1 date to file this report.
Passenger air bag turned off a few times since new. took in to dealer for recall to reprogram. was told light would be on until an adult sat in the seat. several adults have sat in seat with adequate weight to sense presence. air bag is still off and has been off since reprogrammed. dealer should have had person sit in seat to verify operation prior to releasing an unsafe vehicle to customer. have not returned to the dealer.

Car was reprogrammed for the "ocs" fix. have same problem still.
I received a recall notice for my 2015 altima for the ocs module. this shuts off the front passenger air bag if the person sitting in the seat isn't heavy enough to be an adult. i took it into the dealer and they reprogrammed it according to the recall directions. two days later i was riding in the front passenger seat while my wife was driving and noticed the light was on that tells you the front passenger air bag is off. i called the dealer and they said it might not have taken the whole program and they would do it again. when i took it in the service person wouldn't even look at it other than to sit in the passenger seat and tell me it was fine because the light didn't come on. in the year i owned it the light only came on twice with an adult in the passenger seat before the recall. the service person even tried to tell me the air bags will work with the light on saying they are off. that's not what the paperwork says that the same dealership gave me when they did the recall work. so now i'm left with a car that someone in the front passenger seat could get injured or killed if there's an accident and the air bag is off because the ocs module isn't reading their weight right. i filed a complaint with nissan north america and they told me after conferring with the dealer there is nothing they can do to help me. what!!!

On or around 6/20/16 i received a nhtsa ans nissan north america, inc recall notice regarding the occupant classification system (ocs) in my vehicle. i scheduled an appointment for 6/28/16 with nissan of union city, where i purchased my vehicle. my vehicle was serviced on the aforementioned date, and i was informed by nissan of union city that the recall malfunction was corrected. however, that is not the truth. the ocs has apparently been turned off completely, thereby causing a safety risk to myself and my passengers. with this function turned off, the vehicle restraint system may not work. i need the system to be tested because i have not been assured of the safety of the system by nissan of union city after the issue was allegedly corrected by them. please investigate my complaint.

Pass air bag off with 115 pound passenger in seat. fifth time. must stop car pass gets out then back in and light goes out. dealer finds no error message and can not find problem. car demonstrates this problem when first entering car. because the light goes through a test mode you may not notice problem until underway. dealer unable to duplicate problem. i am very concerned for passenger safty we live in ct, usa problem started at <5,000 miles. now over 10,000 miles with same proble. not temperature related.
Passenger front airbag intermittently deactivates even with a 120 pound adult sitting in the seat. warning light that the air bag is deactivated comes on. on other random trips the air bag appears to be armed, with no warning light. car is a rental vehicle.

The passenger "air bag light" does not go out when i have an adult passenger in the car. this has been a continuous problem since i purchased the car nissan dealership says there is no problem indicated when tested. nissan regional office says they are checking into it at this time and will not authorize any repairs, and if i continue to have a problem, go to the dealership meanwhile the "passenger air bag light" remains on when i have a passenger in the seat. i can not get any proper response from nissan.
My altima is only 2 months old and did not start 4x already. it seems to do this first thing in the morning when the car is cold. my steering wheel is vibrating constantly and i can feel a vibration with my foot on the accelerator. there is a loud noise like a constant dentist drill under my hood that is louder every time i turn. the dealership just replaced my power steering pump and there is no change! my passenger airbag light is on when there is a passenger in the car. it will go off during drive time. it does not matter if i have my purse, a bag, heavy books or a person-it sporadically goes off and on while i am driving. i do not feel safe knowing the airbag will not deploy in a crash! lithia nissan has checked the sensor, but it is still doing it. i owned a 2008 altima and 2011 altima that never required service other than oil changes and air in my tires. i am very disappointed with this 2015 piece of junk! i can hear wind noise no matter what speed i am driving. i feel like i am in a crash test every time i slow down. nissan tech said it is the new cvt transmission. honda, lexus, toyota, mercedes and audi have cvt and it is a smooth ride! why does nissan cvt jerk you around? the car is so cheaply made the speakers are popped up and paint is chipping. i have reported my issues to nissan corp. and bbb. the newest issue is the rpm rev up as i sit at red lights. i want nissan to rebuy this car back!
The passenger side front seat sometimes will not detect an adult occupying the seat and disables the air bag for that passenger. adults ranging in weights from 115 pounds to 120 pounds. it appears like a manufacturing defect.

My air bag says it is off when someone is sitting in the seat. it doesn't do it ever time but it has done it quite a bit. when i took it to my dealership i bought it from they told me there isn't anything they could do because the light was working properly when i took it to them.

From time to time the warning light that states that the front passenger air bag is not working comes on. when this occured the passengere was an adult at a weight greater than 150 pounds. the only way to get the light to go off and have the air bag work was to turn the car off and then start it again. this has been back to the dealer and they can find nothing wrong and nissan will not do anything. this happened too on an a 2013 model of the altima as well. no one was hurt - the air bag did not open, just this supplemental system stated that it was not working..

Since original purchase (new) 11/30/14, the passenger airbag indicator system has not worked correctly. 3 complaints ( on site, in writing) thru nissan dealer have not corrected problem. question is, will passenger side airbag work if in a collision? malfunction may result in major injury or death. dealers only explanation is to wait 15 seconds before driving with a passenger. indicator system works and fails indiscriminately.
While driving alone on 03/12/2015 noticed the airbag auxiliary light come on in my new 2015 nissan altima. the altima was serviced for this on 03/18/2015 and the light was reset with the technician stating the passenger side airbag sensor was under recall. then, while driving on 03/22/2015 the airbag auxiliary light came on once again, also when i was the only occupant in the vehicle. the altima was serviced again for this issue on 03/25/2015 where the technician stated objects left on the passenger seat (laptop bags, etc.) can cause the sensor to go off and that it's a known issue. they recommended to not put anything onto the passenger seat aside from an adult person. although i have placed a bag onto the passenger seat a couple of times while driving, the airbag auxiliary light never came on while anything or anyone was in the passenger seat. then again today, 03/26/2015, the airbag auxiliary light came back on in my 2015 nissan altima while i was driving with nothing/no one in the passenger seat. *tr
