| 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. *nm | |||

| 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 pulling into a parking space in front of the building where i work. i had my foot on the brake and the car accelerated and went over the curb, it accelerated a second time and sped between two trees, then between a tree and building and ended up facing the opposite direction of the parking spot on the sidewalk in front of the building. the car basically did a full u from the parking spot to the sidewalk. my feeling is that i had the wheel turned to the right to park in the parking spot and did not have time to straighten the steering wheel so the car continued to go to the right, hence the u. the driver side air bags went off. i had on several occasions experienced the car hesitating when i would accelerate after stopping at a stop sign or light. the car would hesitate and then resume at a normal speed. once the car resumed speed, the car seemed fine. *tr | |||

| Driving down the interstate at 70mph, the passenger air bag on/off light keeps indicating that the airbag is off, while a adult passenger of sufficient weight is sitting up right, with feet flat on the floor and back against the back of the seat is in the chair. they have replaced the seat bottom once before and that did not correct the problem. there is no straight answer to how much a person has to weigh, but all three of the answers have been under the weight of the occupant. nissan now says to get into another 2006 altima, but there is none available at the nissan dealership which the car is at right now. cannot drive car for fear that the air bag will not deploy if in a frontal accident. *tr | |||
