2013 Nissan Altima seats problems

“My airbag light has been illuminated for the past few months. It does not illuminate while someone is in the seat. Once reset, it stays off for a while. When checked, the mechanic informed me that the sensor in my passenger seat needs to be replaced. Due to this malfunction, the vehicle may improperly deploy airbags. This has not happened but I’m concerned that it could possibly happen.”

“When Adult sits in passenger seat, the passenger (Air bag off)light is on. Which means the Air bag is off and will not deploy in a accident. When a heavy weight adult sits in the seat, the light turns off. Sensor might be bad in seat. My wife is 140 lbs. light stays on when she sits in the passenger seat .”

“When a passenger sits in the front seat the airbag light on the dashboard indicates the airbag isn't armed. I have had a Nissan dealer "fix" it three times and it starts again in a few weeks. First time dealer said a connection came loose when the seat was adjusted. Same thing the second time and the third time they said they secured the connection. the light came on in a matter of weeks again . I will take the car back for a fourth time soon. I asked the dealer service rep if there were any service bulletins regarding this problem, he said there weren't any, I feel that I can't have the only car with this problem. Whenever there is a passenger in the front seat I worry about being involved in an accident and their airbag not deploying.”

“Both the driver and passenger side seat sensors do not detect when a person is in the seat, causing the air bags to remain off when vehicle is occupied. This is a common issue with the 2013 Altima, but Nissan has not issued a recall to have the seat sensors repaired.”

“ON JUNE 2ND 2019 I WAS TURNING FROM A LOCAL STREET TO RT 303 WHEN HEARD A POP NOISE. IT CAUSED MY WHEEL TO JERK QUICKLY TO THE RIGHT AND MY DASH BOARD LIGHT TURNED ON. WHEN I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE TO LOOK AND SEE WHAT IT WAS I SAW THAT THE BODY OF MY VEHICLE WAS RESTING PRACTICALLY ON THE TIRE. I WENT INTO A PARKING LOT ABOUT 400M WHICH WAS IN FRONT OF AN AUTO BODY. I LEFT IT IN THE PARKING LOT OVER NIGHT AND THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT ACROSS THE STREET WHERE THERE IS AN AUTO BODY. WHEN THEY LIFTED UP MY CAR THEY SAW THAT THE REAR LEFT PART HOLDING UP MY SHOCKS HAD RUSTED AND ERODED AND SNAPPED AND THAT MY REAR RIGHT SIDE WAS RUSTED AND CRACKED.”

“MY LIGHTS REAL DIM AT NIGHT SO I REPLACE THEM WITH NEW LED LIGHTS AND THEY STILL LOOKS DIM I CAN'T SEE NOTHING THIS IS REAL SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GOT KIDS”
