About 2 weeks ago i noticed that my air bag dash light was blinking. So i took my car into the shop and had it diagnosed for $125 (of course) then the service adviser states that a sensor in my passenger seat is not working and it cannot determine if an adult or a child is sitting in the passenger chair. In order for me to fix it i'd have to change out the whole chair assembly. I said why do i have to pay for this,…

Passenger occupant sensor has failed. The amber passenger occupant dashboard light always remains on. This means that even with the seat occupied by an appropriate sized adult, the light says the occupant is not being 'sensed'. Also, the control panel above the steering wheel has a red flashing airbag light. The nissan dealership says the error code indicates a failure in the passenger seat occupant airbag sensor.…

Takata recall - although my car has not yet been affected by he recall i believe that it will be. The passenger airbag sensor is faulty which affects the amber dashboard passenger airbag light from working properly which therefore will not allow the airbag to deploy if in an accident. Or more so allowing the airbag to deploy at any given time without being in an accident. This sensor disarms the whole airbag system…

I was washing my car and then wanted to vacuum it out. I moved the driver seat forward and the back of the drivers seat detached and fell in the back seat. I could not fix it so i took to the dealer who initially wanted $ 1,200.00 to repair. They eventually put the seat in place and told me never to move it again. This is crazy it is a power seat. This has to be a defect from factory. Had i been driving when this…

Approximately a year ago i noticed shiny sticky spots on my dash. Someone told me that it was melting. I have lived in florida all my life and have vehicles older than this one. I have never seen a dash melt and wasn't quite sure that was what was happening. I went to my dealership and they claimed that they have never heard of this. I was looking online and apparently it is a big problem with nissan altima's. I…
