I took my vehicle in for the first airbag recall and they fixed the issue. The airbag issue reoccurred again when someone would sit in the passenger seat, the vehicle still showed the passenger airbag disabled. I had people of various weights sitting there ranging from 70 pounds to 140 pounds. This happened over several weeks and when I took my car in, they fixed it again. Now it's happening for a third time.
2016 Nissan Altima sr: The front passenger airbag is off when an adult is in the seat. This is an internment problem. Nissan customer service and dealer stated there is nothing they can do and the airbag is not issue. Lithia Nissan of fresno, dealer explanation was the passenger was not sitting correctly. Looking to see if anyone else is having this issue. This issue has been since I purchased the vehicle. The vehicle was in new condition.
The front passenger air bag off light continues to come on with passengers in the seat at various speeds. Nissan has attempted to correct this issue at least four times without success. There is also an noticeable vibration in or near the drive train when ever engine is operating at or near 1750 RPM that also has not been eliminated.
Recall 16V244000 airbag light stays on with my wife in pass seat ~ 50% of time. Brought to dealer three times but not fixed. Nissan cs no assistance to fix. Works ok in other vehicles when she is in pass seat.
Airbag sensor is according to the Nissan dealer only activating the airbag if the passenger is over 120lbs. My wife is under this weight and the airbag off light is on every time we drive somewhere. Nissan has tried to play it off saying it's actually safer for an adult under 120lbs to have the airbag off. This is completely unacceptable and I do not have this problem in my VW or my Mazda.
