AIR BAGS
FOR SEVERAL MONTHS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT HAS BEEN WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES THE LIGHT SHOWS UNOCCUPIED WHEN AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT. I DON'T KNOW IF THE AIRBAG IS WORKING PROPERLY OR NOT. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE NISSAN DEALER IN LEESBURG, FL LAST WEEK FOR ROUTINE SERVICE AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEY PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND DID NOT FIND ANY FAULT CODES. THEY THEN GOT IN AND OUT OF THE SEAT SEVERAL TIMES AND SAID THE AIRBAG LIGHT DISPLAYED PROPERLY. THE NEXT DAY WITH AN ADULT PASSENGER IN THE SEAT THE LIGHT AGAIN SHOWED UNOCCUPIED. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL REGARDING THIS PROBLEM.

HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE EXTREMELY DIM. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS OFFERED TO REPLACE THEM FOR $700 PLUS THE LABOR!. ARE THEY REPLACING WITH THE SAME LIGHTS SINCE THEY INSIST THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHTS?

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT IS SIGNIFICANTLY DIMMER THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE ONE. I HAVE CHANGED MULTIPLE BULBS AND NONE CAN FIX THE DIMNESS BEING EXPERIENCED. I SUSPECT THIS ISSUE HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE HOUSING AND I KNOW OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME MODEL THAT HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. PS, I'M NOT THE FIRST OWNER OF THE CAR AND I'VE SEEN THIS ISSUE SINCE PURCHASE. SO I'LL SET THE DATE TO TODAY'S DATE.

THE SYSTEM THAT DETERMINES WHETHER THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY ON MY VEHICLE IS NOT FUNCTIONING AND IS DEFAULTING THE AIRBAG TO NOT DEPLOY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALER FOR A QUOTE AND WAS TOLD IT WILL COST UP TO $1,800.00 TO FIX. I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN AT LEAST ONE RECALL PERTAINING TO THIS SYSTEM ALREADY (RECALL NUMBER 15V681000). I ALSO ASKED IF THERE WAS A WAY TO HAVE THE AIRBAG ALWAYS SET TO DEPLOY BUT WAS TOLD THAT WAS NOT POSSIBLE. AN $1,800.00 FIX FOR A CRITICAL SAFETY FEATURE IS A HAZARD THAT WILL DRIVE PEOPLE TO ACCEPT UNDUE RISK. A RECALL FOR AFFECTED NISSAN VEHICLES TO REPLACE THE SYSTEM OR WHICH WOULD DEFAULT THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY WOULD MITIGATE THE RISK TO THE POPULATION.
