My 2007 nissan altima 2.5 s has had a ongoing problem for more then a year now. The problem is when a passenger is in the passenger seat, the light stating air bag is off comes on. The individuals in the seat are over 100 pounds in weight. Nissan has told me the problem is with the way we are sitting and that the airbag "should" work. Should is not a option. The car has been in many times to no avail, including a…

On the dashboard there is a passenger airbag status indicator. The light comes on when i have a full grown adult. According to the manual the light should not come on when there is an adult in the seat. I asked the dealer about this and the sensor shouldn't trip unless there is someone that weighs less then 100 lbs. My passenger is close to 200 lbs, but the sensor still indicates the passenger airbag system is off.…

This is a recurring problem. I have a 2007 nissan altima 2.5s. As indicated by the safety light on the dashboard, the passenger side airbag in my vehicle will turn on and off repeatedly when i have a passenger sitting in the seat. This is despite knowing the passenger weighs far more (over 150 lbs) than the safety limits for which the airbag should be designed to turn off. The airbag indicator will light notifying…

Exited interstate highway, traveled up ramp, was unable to lift left foot to brake (possibly caught under parking brake pedal, which is close to the brake), traveled through intersection and hit guard rail, causing $8,800 damage to my 7-mo.-old leased 2007 nissan altima. The whole front end crumbled. Because i was not wearing a seat belt, i was thrown into the windshield, hitting and smashing the rear view mirror…

Purchased a 2007 nissan altima 2.5s. 1. First problem started when i heard a loud rattling noise when i start the car (this was 2 months after i bought the car). Increase rpm to 1.5 rpm to get a louder, crisper noise. Took it to the dealer and was told that the heat shield was cracked and needed to be replaced. Took 2 weeks for the dealer to fix the problem. Noise went away. 2. Noise came back again 2 weeks later…

Passenger air bag light is not active while passenger is in seat. This problem happens intermittently. My wife and i are both about 160lbs and when we sit in passenger seat the "not active" airbag light comes on the vehicle. I contacted nissan about it and they said there was no issue. I took it to the dealer and they could not reproduce. I submitted an issue on nissan website and have not heard anything. If i get…

Our vehicle has had problems for almost two years with the passenger airbag light staying on during travel. We have made numerous visits to the dealer, and unless they can replicate it, they cannot fix the problem. We have even made a complaint with nissan. No one seems to know if the airbag is defective or if there is an electrical problem. We are tired of trying to get this resolved through nissan and the dealer.…
