Consumer Description

THE "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" WARNING LIGHT MAY COME ON WHEN AN ADULT OR LARGE TEENAGER IS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS FAILURE HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY. AT TIMES, THE WARNING LIGHT WILL GO OFF AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING. IT APPEARS THAT EITHER THE SEAT SENSOR(S) OR THE SOFTWARE THAT READS THE SENSOR(S) AND DETERMINES THE SIZE/WEIGHT OF THE FRONT PASSENGER MAY BE FAULTY. I AM AMAZED THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL OF THE 2013 ALTIMA FOR THIS ISSUE, GIVEN THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE. *TR
