I purchased a new 2006 altima 4/17/06. The passenger air bag light illuminates intermittently when my 110 lb daughter is in the passenger seat. We took my car in for a new motor (it's a recalled engine oil problem car) and told the dealer about the problem, they said they tested it and could find no fault. When I picked up my car I showed them what happens when my daughter is in the passenger seat, they said they'd look into it with nissan. 4 weeks later the dealer can only offer 'bring your daughter in to sit in another nissan to see if we can create the same problem'. They will not fix it until I bring myself, my car and my daughter in with the car, even though they identify it is a safety issue. Meanwhile, my daughter is not allowed in my car until this issue is resolved fully.

Dt*: the contact stated when the vehicle was started the driver's airbag light illuminated intermittently. Later while driving 55 MPH on normal road conditions, the passenger air bag light also illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealership where an appointment was scheduled to replace the air bag sensors. However, the parts were unavailable to perform the repair and another appointment was scheduled for august 21, 2006. The contact expressed this incident as a safety problem therefore a request was made for a rental car until the parts become available. The request for a rental car was denied by the manufacturer.
I was traveling on the highway about 40 MPH, when another vehicle made a left hand turn in front, causing me to have a head on crash. Driverside air bag operated prefect. Right front airbag did not deploy nor the right seat belt lock causing passenger to hit front dash.
