| Purchased a new 2013 altima sedan 3.5sl in november 2012. within days noticed that the passenger airbag light was always on, whether a passenger was in the passenger seat or not. took car into dealer and was told that the sensor had been incorrectly calibrated at 200 pounds instead of 0 pounds. they recalibrated the sensor and the airbag light worked fine... for approximately 2 weeks. the passenger airbag warning light is now always on. this issue concerns me because i must assume that the passenger airbag will never deploy. | |||

| The day i purchased the vehicle (1/23/13) the seat belt light would not shut off. the passenger airbag light would also indicate that the passenger airbag was disengaged with a passenger in the vehicle. the dealership (rosenthal nissan of tysons) took the car in back and made some adjustments. the problem apparently went away. tonight (2/9/13) the passenger airbag sensor once again indicated no passenger when my 110 lb wife was sitting in the seat. i tried it with myself (175lb) and again it occurred. this is an unacceptable safety concern. *tr | |||
