"the contact owns a 2010 nissan altima. the contact stated that seat air bag warning light remained illuminated after starting the vehicle. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed there was no recall on the vin for the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 191,000."

"my air bag light is on red"

"sensor in the front passenger seat is out making the airbag light blink in the cluster panel. i was told by the nissan dealership that i would need a whole new seat and that would cost over $1000."

"the airbag lights came on and when i took it to nissan, i was told that it will not deploy if a person was to get in an accident"

"the airbag passenger notification light keeps blinking on in the dash. it can be reset, but as soon as a passenger sits in the chair the light comes on again. according to the advisor the sensor needs to be replaced. according to the nissan advisor none of the airbags will deploy if the light is on. this seems to me a very dangerous situation."

"airbag light flashes when car is on whether stationary or in motion. was told its the sensor in the passenger seat cushion and the whole cushion has to be replaced. airbag will not deploy and is a safety issue if not fixed asap. very frustrating...at a cost over $1000.00."

"i am the original owner of this vehicle and this has been an ongoing problem since 2011. my 2010 nissan altima coupe passenger occupant classification system (ocs) reads off when a passenger is seated. i am a 6ft 4in 230 pound individual and the ocs system fails to recognize me when i am seated in the passenger seat. this occurs when the vehicle is in motion, stoped, and driving down the highway. i made my nissan dealer aware of this issue before the first recall in 2013 of the ocs system and they failed to fix this safety issue. my nissan dealer (petro nissan hattiesburg, ms 39402) lead me to believe the problem had been fixed and told me to ignore the ocs off light on my dash. after four nissan altima ocs recalls (03/01/2013, 10/20/2015, 04/26/2016, 12/19/2016) i have grown more concern for the safety of my passengers and myself. as of 12/04/2018 at 5:52 p.m. i have directly contacted nissan customer service. a representative proceeded to tell me that nissan is no longer responsible for the safety defect in their vehicle because it was eight years old as of march 2018. i continued to press nissan's responsibility for the safety defect and after several back-and-forths the representative scheduled a 'specialist' to contact me tomorrow 12/05/2018."
