NHTSA Complaint #10701074 — 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA

SINCE I PURCHASED MY ALTIMA IN 12/2012, 90% OF THE TIME THE "PASS" PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN MY WIFE IS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE HAD THE ALTIMA IN FOR REPAIRS ON THIS ABOUT 5 TIMES AT TAMAROFF NISSAN IN SOUTHFIELD, MICHIGAN, INCLUDING WHEN THERE WAS A RECALL. I'VE HAD IT LOOKED AT TWICE AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. TAMAROFF HAS RELOADED SOFTWARE AND CHECKED THE SENSORS WITH NO LUCK. THEY FINALLY INDICATED THAT SINCE MY WIFE WEIGHS AROUND 110 POUNDS, SHE IS ON THE CUSP OF WHAT THE SENSOR WILL REACT TO. JOKINGLY, THEY INDICATED THAT IF SHE WOULD CARRY SOMETHING HEAVY IN HER LAP, SUCH AS A BOWLING BALL, THE PASS AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD NOT BE ACTIVATED. MY PREVIOUS ALTIMA NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. *TR
