2007 Nissan Altima

I DRIVE A 2007 ALTIMA AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AND AT TIMES STAYS ON FOR A WHILE, UP TO 15 MILES WHILE DRIVING. WE'VE TOOK IT TWICE TO GET FIX AT THE DEALER SHIP AND THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACE THE SEAT LINER AND THAT WORKED FOR TWO WEEKS AND THE BACK TO THE SAME THING. WE TOOK BACK AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. AGAIN THE LIGHT COMES ON ONCE IN A WHILE AND THE DIRECTOR AT THE DEALER SHIP ASK US TO BRING IT BACK, AGAIN THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WE ALSO PURCHASE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND AS OF NOW IT'S STILL MALFUNCTIONING EVERY SO OFTEN. I'M JUST WORRY IT WILL NOT PERFORM PROPERLY WHEN NEEDED. NOW I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I DON'T FEEL SAFE TO CARRY MY FAMILY IN THE PASSENGER SEAT ANYMORE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT SHOULD DISPLAY OFF WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT, OR WHEN A CHILD UNDER 90 POUNDS SITS IN THE SEAT. HOWEVER, THE AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO DISPLAY THAT THE AIR BAG WAS DEACTIVATED EVEN WHEN AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 14,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THEY HAVE BEEN A CONCERN WITH 2007 NISSAN'S, MY AIR BAG SEEMS TO COME ON AND OFF WHEN IT WANTS TO I DIDN'T KNOW IF THIS WAS THE WAY THEY WORK OR IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH IT. BECAUSE WHEN SOME ONE IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IT GOES ON AND OFF CONSTANT. I WILL PUT A DATE IN, BUT CANT BE CORRECT IF IT IS THE CORRECT DATE BUT I PURCHASED MINE IN MAY 2007 I NOTICED IT ABOUT A FEW MONTHS LATER. *TR

EXITED INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, TRAVELED UP RAMP, WAS UNABLE TO LIFT LEFT FOOT TO BRAKE (POSSIBLY CAUGHT UNDER PARKING BRAKE PEDAL, WHICH IS CLOSE TO THE BRAKE), TRAVELED THROUGH INTERSECTION AND HIT GUARD RAIL, CAUSING $8,800 DAMAGE TO MY 7-MO.-OLD LEASED 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE WHOLE FRONT END CRUMBLED. BECAUSE I WAS NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT, I WAS THROWN INTO THE WINDSHIELD, HITTING AND SMASHING THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND CRACKING THE WINDSHIELD. INJURIES SUSTAINED WERE NOT SERIOUS, BUT THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO INJURIES AT ALL IF THE AIR BAGS HAD DEPLOYED. NONE OF THEM DID. I AM NOW VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND ANY PASSENGERS I MIGHT HAVE IN MY CAR. THE DEALERS SERVICE CENTER SAID THAT THE IMPACT WAS TOO HIGH UP ON THE FRONT END TO TRIGGER THE SENSORS. IF MY VEHICLE HAD SLID UNDER THE REAR OF A TRUCK, I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN SPITE OF BEING SURROUNDED WITH AIR BAGS. *TR

PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S. 1. FIRST PROBLEM STARTED WHEN I HEARD A LOUD RATTLING NOISE WHEN I START THE CAR (THIS WAS 2 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR). INCREASE RPM TO 1.5 RPM TO GET A LOUDER, CRISPER NOISE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE HEAT SHIELD WAS CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. TOOK 2 WEEKS FOR THE DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. NOISE WENT AWAY. 2. NOISE CAME BACK AGAIN 2 WEEKS LATER AFTER IT WAS FIXED. BROUGHT IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT TO GET DIFFERENT OPINION. FINDS OUT THE HEAT SHIELD WAS INSTALLED INCORRECTLY. RESOLVED, AND LATER TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS NOISE. 3. HAD A 110LB PASSENGER ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND THE AIR BAG OFF LIGHT TURNED ON. HAVE YET TO GO TO THE DEALER TO SEE WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. 4. AFTER ALL THIS, I START THE CAR ON DECEMBER 10TH, 2008 AND DID NOT WARM UP CAR. WHEN STARTING TO ACCELERATE CAR ON STREET, CLICKING NOISES STARTED TO EMERGE. WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CLUTCH MOTOR OR THE BELT. NOISE STARTS DISAPPEARING WHEN THE CAR IS WARMED UP (AFTER 8 MINUTES) DECIDED TO TEST IT OUT BY WARMING UP THE CAR FIRST LATER IN THE DAY AFTER IT HAD COOLED DOWN, AND THEN DRIVING IT, CLICKING SOUND EMERGED AGAIN. BOUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND TOLD THEM TO MAKE SURE TO CHECK NOISE WHEN THE CAR IS COLD (GIVER OR TAKE 3 HOURS), THEY DID NOT LISTEN AND CHECKED IT WHEN WARM, WHEN THERE IS NO CLICKING OCCURS. DEEMED FINE. 5. BRAKE SQUEALS ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN USED. HAVE YET TO CHECK THIS ONE OUT TO THE DEALERSHIP. 6. ON A MORNING OF JAN. 2, 2008, I HAVE STARTED THE CAR ONLY TO NOTICE THAT THE AIR MODE HAS SWITCHED FROM DEFROST/FOOT AIR MODE TO FOOT MODE. I THOUGHT THE AIR CONTROL UNIT WAS SUPPOSED TO MEMORIZE THE LAST TIME I HAD THE MODE ON BUT ONCE EVERY OFTEN, IT SWITCHES BACK TO THE FOOT AIR MODE PLUS TURNING ON THE A/C EVERY TIME THE CAR STARTS. COMPUTER PROBLEM MAYBE? HAVE YET TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS. *TR

I OWN A 05 ALTIMA. RECENTLY I WAS HIT FROM REAR, NO INJURY, BUT AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WAS SENT FOR REPAIRS AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE REAR END COLLISION WAS NOT THE CAUSE OF SENSOR FAILURE BUT THE FACT THE COMPUTER CHIP BURNED. MY QUESTION IS HOW LONG WILL THIS CHIP LAST AND IF YOU SHOULD GIVE YOUR CUSTOMERS A HEADS UP ON THIS INFORMATION ? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE AIR BAG LIGHT BLINKED INTERMITTENTLY AND REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WEIGHS 112 LBS. WHEN RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF A TAHOE, SHE STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL BECAUSE HER AIR BAG HAS A SMART SYSTEM. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE DEALER WAS INCORRECT AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO INSTALL THE AIR BAG ON/OFF SWITCH IN THE VEHICLE. THE POWERTRAIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,806 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,341. UPDATED 01/11/08. *LJ THE DEALER STATED PASSENGER FRONT SPEAKER POPPING OFF, VEHICLE SOUNDS REALLY LOUD, AND SOMETIMES KEY LIGHT WILL STAY ON. UPDATED 12/12/07 *TR

AFTER BEING INVOLVED IN A 3-CAR ACCIDENT ON THE NJ TURNPIKE AT 3:15P.M. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, EVERYONE WAS WEARING SEAT BELTS, YET NO ONE WAS HURT, NOT EVEN A WHIP LASH. THE LEFT SIDE SUSTAINED HEADLIGHT AND HOOD DAMAGE, DRIVERS DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AND IT APPEARED THAT THE RADIATOR WAS BUSTED SINCE LIQUID WAS POURING OUT. WE WERE TOWED TO THE NEAREST COLLISION PLACE AND GEICO TOWED IT FROM THERE TO ITS OWN SHOP. SINCE THE CAR WAS SO NEW, GEICO HAD SOME DIFFICULTY IN OBTAINING PART NUMBERS AND COST. THE NEXT CALL FROM GEICO WAS TO TELL US THAT THE CAR WAS TOTALED. THE BATTERY EXPLODED. BATTERY ACID EATING MOST OF THE COMPONENTS UNDER THE HOOD. QUESTION WHICH WAS DEFECTIVE.. THE AIR BAGS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OR THE BATTERY WHY WOULD A BATTERY EXPLODE WHEN THE CAR DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH IMPACT TO DEPLOY THE AIR BAGS? *TR
