2008 Nissan Altima seats problems

Filed Nov 17, 2022 · Airbags, Seats · AR

The passenger side air bag is faulty due to AN INTERRUPTION OF SIGNAL BETWEEN THE OCS AND THE AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT. This has been verified by an independent service center and puts passengers at risk. The airbag will not work without the entire seat being replaced. The airbag light shows that the system is “OFF”. This make and model had a recall issued but my VIN was not included but should have been included.

Glue is bleeding thru the dash on my 2008 nissan altima. It is causing a glare on the windshield that makes it hard to see, so bad that I have to lean over to find a spot that does not affect my vision of the traffic in front of or coming towards me. This is a road hazard and left unattended will eventually cause a wreck. I also have a couple of other problems, the front seats are loose and slid when I had to slam on my brakesfeel and I am not at all comfortable that if I had an accident that this would attribute to additional injury. Also, I have had the low tire scensor replaced at my own expense to only have it come back on at which time I found out this was a known problem with this year model, would have been nice had the dealership told me there was nothing wrong, instead of taking my money. I have researched and found that all three of the problems I have are known problems that have been repeatedly reported to nissan only to be told they are not recalls and are extremely high in cost out of pocket. I have been complaining to them for two years to no avail. They sent me to a dealer in town at one point who reiterated to me verbatim what I was told by them online after he gave the dash a quick look. I live in louisiana, I travel to texas several times a year. That is when the problem with the dash started. No way to clean, it is one big sticky mess and only getting worse. I bought the vehicle, they were happy to take my money, the least they could do is fix known problems. Toyota recalled one of their vehicles with the same bleeding glue dash problem. Nissan should be as forthcoming with their customers, won't buy another, will seriously affect the resale value of this one. Shame on nissan! My formal complaint signed, sealed and delivered!

The airbag sensor on the passenger seat stopped working about a year ago. I had to get my car inspected last month to drive in the state of virginia and to access the naval base for work. I failed the inspection because of it and had to pay $705 for a new seat. I saw a recall for this problem but was told by nissan recall department my car wasn't covered. How can that be possible? I am requesting a refund as the issue was a safety recall in 2008.

A passenger sitting causes the airbag light to flash and turns off the airbag? If the seat is equipped with the same ocs control unit, my vehicle should have been included. I am experiencing the same problem as the recall in november 2008 that did not include my VIN? Nissan concluded I should pay the dealer to check it out.

When an adult is setting in the passenger seat the air bag indicator light will periodically go on. This has been an ongoing issue for years. St. Charles nissan tech found occupant sensor failure to be causing the issue. There is a recall involving this issue, the federal safety agency campaign id number 08v521000. My car's VIN is not part of the open recall, however, since it is the same problem in the same year vehicle, I wondered if the recall should be expanded. I have not been informed at what VIN they stopped in the recall.

The passenger seat has an electronic device that is not communicating with the car computer.it is showing a yellow light indicating that the passenger airbag is off. This happens all the time when the car is on. Stationary or driving.

The seat is lifted and sliding especially when I brake or accelerate. It is unstable and sways from side to side. This is a common issue that I read with nissan seats and I am afraid.
