AIR BAGS - FRONTAL
09/27/2010	12000
	2010 nissan ultima coupe purchased the car in september 2010. have taken the car in for service at nissan quality of temecula for multiple issues. the first issue is the air bag light goes on stating that the air bag is turned off and this is when there is an adult of 200 pounds sitting in the passanger's seat. i am very concerned of our safety in the case of an accident.this is a huge safety issue and i am not convinced that if there is an accident the air bag will go off. the transmission is also giving us problems.car is stalling and jerking while driving. the master warning light is also coming on and i'm not sure if this is related to the airbag not working correctly. the car has been taken in several times since september and nothing has been done. nissan was okay with us leaving the lot knowing that the air bags were not working correctly.
POWER TRAIN

	I own a 2010 nissan altima coupe 2.5 and have had problems with acceleration. when i come to a stop, i push the gas pedal down tothe floor and experience very little speed then it accelerates thereafter. i have had problems where there are vehicles behind me at a stop then when its time to accelarate my vehicle takes time to accelarate almost causing rear end accidents.

	After a hard application of the brakes (abs activates) and stop, the vehicle fails to accelerate at a normal rate of speed. pushing the accelerator to the floor does not increase the speed of the vehicle. there is a delay before the vehicle will accelerate normally. nissan reports there is nothing wrong with the transmission or the brakes. the process occurs everytime after the abs is activated and rapid acceleration is attempted. *tr

POWER TRAIN - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

	After a hard stop on highway, car transmission was locked in a higher gear, thus accellaration on highway was extremely difficult, and was rear ended, car was driving at 5mph on the highway following and could not accelarate. there is a serious transmission problem with this make.
