What 2014 Nissan Altima owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Drivers side seat heater switch caught fire and burned winter jacket sleeve. Fire was extinguished before car was lost.
The contact owns a 2014 NISSAN Altima. The contact stated that the airbag warning light was illuminated. The dealer was contacted and stated that the airbag harness under the driver’s seat had malfunctioned. The airbag and seat had not been replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact was informed that the repair was not covered under the warranty. The approximate failure mileage was 41,000.
The airbag light is always on. When the car is taken to a dealer for inspection, they said that the sensor under the seat is not working properly. We worry that the airbag may not deploy during an accident because the seat cannot sense the people sitting on it. It is definitely dangerous The problem has been identified by a Nissan dealer. The vehicle was inspected by the manufacturer. The airbag light stays on, even after the dealer clearing the code. It seems a lot of Nissan Altima have a similar problem.
The driver's seat is loose. 2 screws came out and you can rock the seat back and forth. But still attached.
Airbag light for passages seat belt is on. I had one of them repaired before. What do I do now?
My 2014 nissan altima "sl" broken seat frame. The seat started rocking while driving. Thinking it just needed the seat screws tightened, I was looking for the screws and found out it was the seat frame and this is not a unique problem but happens with nissan products. The seat may break causing the back support to unexpectedly recline while driving and cause an accident. I found this online while trying to figure out "how to repair nissan" https://youtu.be/imsvbjqgvkw .. The problem is not unique to altima's but murano's as well. The rocking takes place while sitting and driving. Very noticeable when breaking and accelerating. Also this car is dangerous because of the defective seat, seat frame.

My back seats left & right seat latches are not catching
I am contacting you over repeated issues with my 2014 nissan altima sl. This is my second complaint filed to the federal safety agency for this vehicle's airbag. As you are aware, a recall was issued and has been performed on my vehicle. My issue is that the passenger seat won't arm the airbag if my wife sits in the seat. I have multiple videos of this issue. My most recent visit to my nissan dealer resulted in them stating they couldn't fix anything as they couldn't pull an error code. The very next day, the issue happened again with my wife in the passenger seat and again I recorded it. I opened a complaint with nissan corporate. After a frustrating phone call this evening, and a lot of ambitious double talk on nissan's part, the nissan representative said that the issue was that my wife was too lite. My wife weighs between 103 and 108 pounds as she fluctuates a bit. She stands 5 foot 3 inches tall. The nissan representative, delisa said that nissan doesn't recommend anyone under 4 feet 9 inches or less than 120 lbs in the passenger seat. This was never told to me two years ago when I was looking at purchasing the car, or through any of the 6-8 service tickets I have opened regarding this issue with multiple different fixes attempted. ( I can get the exact number as soon as my dealer provides the requested information.) I would have never bought the car knowing my wife couldn't ride in the front passenger seat. I asked for this in writing from the nissan representative but she said she could not provide that. She said it was only for their internal records. I pressed her on the fact that they were saying my wife couldn't sit in the front seat. Her reply was that she didn't say that, only that nissan doesn't recommend someone less than 120 pounds in the passenger seat. Is it possible to be contacted by the federal safety agency to clarify what nissan is saying and if it is accurate?
