2010 Nissan Altima airbag problems

AIR BAGS

Around 12:30 pm Sysco driver [XXX] illegally parked on the San Diego California street blocking off traffic. I made a note of the drivers identification because of the awkward closeness to my vehicle. I went to an appointment about an hour away and upon my return I immediately noticed tension and pulling with my suspension that was not there before. I contact Sysco corporate office to report the incident and they said they will take care of it and to make a police report. I call immediately and am put on hold for nearly 90 minutes then am disconnected. I go to make an in person report and the police department is closed on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I notify the department of transportation and the California attorney general of my situation and how my car is not working like before. This should be investigated.

My name is [XXX] and I can be reached at [XXX]...The dashboard has many cracks on it and it looks like it's melting too by the sun rays. It's very sticky when you touch it too. Vehicle tends to slow down a lot when I am driving as if I am about to get transmission problems soon. I see many people who already complained this transmission issue. My car has about 130,646 miles on it. The passenger air bag is consistently on and I hope it won't deploy on its own.

Sensor in the front passenger seat is out making the airbag light blink in the cluster panel. I was told by the Nissan dealership that I would need a whole new seat and that would cost over $1000.

THE AIRBAG PASSENGER NOTIFICATION LIGHT KEEPS BLINKING ON IN THE DASH. IT CAN BE RESET, BUT AS SOON AS A PASSENGER SITS IN THE CHAIR THE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. ACCORDING TO THE ADVISOR THE SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ACCORDING TO THE NISSAN ADVISOR NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY IF THE LIGHT IS ON. THIS SEEMS TO ME A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE 2011. MY 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE PASSENGER OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) READS OFF WHEN A PASSENGER IS SEATED. I AM A 6FT 4IN 230 POUND INDIVIDUAL AND THE OCS SYSTEM FAILS TO RECOGNIZE ME WHEN I AM SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, STOPED, AND DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I MADE MY NISSAN DEALER AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE THE FIRST RECALL IN 2013 OF THE OCS SYSTEM AND THEY FAILED TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. MY NISSAN DEALER (PETRO NISSAN HATTIESBURG, MS 39402) LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN FIXED AND TOLD ME TO IGNORE THE OCS OFF LIGHT ON MY DASH. AFTER FOUR NISSAN ALTIMA OCS RECALLS (03/01/2013, 10/20/2015, 04/26/2016, 12/19/2016) I HAVE GROWN MORE CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS AND MYSELF. AS OF 12/04/2018 AT 5:52 P.M. I HAVE DIRECTLY CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE. A REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT NISSAN IS NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY DEFECT IN THEIR VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS EIGHT YEARS OLD AS OF MARCH 2018. I CONTINUED TO PRESS NISSAN'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SAFETY DEFECT AND AFTER SEVERAL BACK-AND-FORTHS THE REPRESENTATIVE SCHEDULED A 'SPECIALIST' TO CONTACT ME TOMORROW 12/05/2018.

TAKATA RECALL. ON NOVEMBER , 12 2016, I TOOK MY 2010 NISSIAN ALTIMA INTO GRIFFIN NISSIAN'S DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY VEHICLE LOOKED AT DUE TO AN AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON THE DAY PRIOR, WHILE IN MOTION. IT'S STILL ON PARKED ALSO. IT NEVER GOES OFF. AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE IN A SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED ME AND STATED THAT THE PROBLEM IS A SENSOR INSIDE THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS GONE BAD AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED WAS THAT COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURE AND HE ADVISED ME THAT HE WASN'T SURE. HE ADVISED IT WOULD BE AN ESTIMATED COST OF AROUND $600.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR THE SENSOR. I THEN RESEARCH THE ISSUE ABOUT THE SENSOR, AND MY RESEARCH SHOWED THAT SEVERAL VEHICLES HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I CONTACTED NISSIAN MANUFACTURE. AND I EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM MY CAR HAD AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT SOMEONE WOULD VIEW THE CASE AND CONTACT ME BACK. THE NEXT DAY SOMEONE FROM NISSIAN MANUFACTURE CONTACTED ME AND ADVISED I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THE AIRBAG ISSUE AT MY OWN EXPENSE. I STATED TO THEM THAT THIS ISN'T A PART THAT HAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND SHOULD BE BACKED BY THE MANUFACTURE AND I EXPRESS HOW THAT SENSOR NOT WORKING CORRECTLY COULD CAUSE MY FAMILY AND I HARM IF WE WERE TO GET INTO A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS FAIL TO DEPLOY. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE FROM GRIFFEN NISSIAN ON 10-15-2014, THE CAR WAS USED, AND HOWEVER I TAKE MY VEHICLE TO GRIFFEN NISSIAN EVERY TIME ITS NEED TO BE SERVICE AND TO HAVE ROUTINE OIL CHANGES.
