2014 altima has been into dealer for passenger air bag issues and twice they have done things, but we still have the problem. A passenger over 125 pounds is sitting in the seat and the air bag light saying the air bag is turned off is on. Have to shut the car off and turn on again and it will then go out. Makes me wonder what it will really do if we are in an accident. *tr

I have researched this, and found other nissan drivers with the same vehicle, or other models report this same issue. Not sure if those…
