The driver seat airbag seems to be disabled. I am seeing a airbag warning light for driver airbag in the dashboard. The dealership doesnt see to car and a 4yr old car should not have airbag issues when it has never been in an accident. The driver seat seatbelt also seems to be disabled, if i step on the break the seatbelt doesnt seem to be gripping me its still freely moving which it shouldnt be. This is a big safety issue and seems to be a manufacturing defect.

Altima

I was rear-ended in my car while at a red light. The car hit me 35 mph plus., Pushing me into the Tahoe in front of me. My shoulder strap driver side DID NOT restrain me and NONE of the air bags deployed. I flew forward towards the steering wheel and dash. Do to me being very short I didn't get hurt, just stiff neck, shoulders. The collision company who did my work stated that the seatbelt should have restrained me and at least 1 airbag should have deployed. I contacted Nissan and I was told that the air bags and seatbelts are only suppose to work in a roll over to prevent from being thrown from the vehicle and that the airbags and seatbelts are working properly. Nissan never offered to check to make sure that the safety components are working properly. There were no warning lights on before or after the accident. Over $10,000 worth of damage was done.

Altima 4-cyl

  • 30,000 miles
A truck turned quickly in front of my wife which made her hit him in the side of his truck while she was traveling at approx. 55mph. The truck was traveling southbound on highway and she was traveling northbound on a foggy day.she hit her brakes slid about 30 ft before striking the side of his F150 tearing his rear axles out and damaging her 2018 Altima in the front end badly. The problem is none of the impact devices deployed: Air bags nor seat belts or anything deployed. She hit the steering wheel with her chest and knees went into dash and had to be taken to the emergency room and has rib, back, and neck pain for several days. I think we may have a defective car and have contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs division for an investigation of the vehicle. The picture is from the accident scene, you can see both vehicles.
