MY WIFE'S 2010 MAXIMA HAS ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND IT DOESN'T OPERATE CORRECTLY. IT IS THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2013 NISSAN RECALLS BUT THAT RECALL DOESN'T GO BACK FAR ENOUGH. I'VE CONTACTED NISSAN HEADQUARTERS AND THEY JUST BLEW ME OFF. THE CONTACT PERSON'S NAME IS [XXX] WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND HE HAS YET TO CONTACT ME BY MY CELL. THEY KEEP CALLING ME ON MY HOME NUMBER AND WE AREN'T HOME MOST OF THE TIME. I'VE RECENTLY CALLED THEM AGAIN THIS PAST FRIDAY AND THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID SOMEONE WILL CONTACT ME IN A FEW HOURS. TODAY IS WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 14, 2016 AND STILL NO PHONE CALL. I WAS ADVISED A FEW WEEKS AGO TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND GET A QUOTE BY NISSAN HQ AND CALL THEM BACK WITH THE INFORMATION. I'VE DONE THAT AND NOW THEY WON'T RETURN MY CALLS. [XXX] CONTACT NUMBER IS [XXX] AND MD CASE # [XXX]. NISSAN KEEPS CLOSING MY CASE NUMBER AND WON'T ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I JUST DON'T WANT MY FAMILY PUT AT RISK IF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DOESN'T DEPLOY BECAUSE OF A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE SEAT. I WANT NISSAN TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMETHING HORRIBLE HAPPENS. THE CONTACT PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR NISSAN IS [XXX] AND THAT NUMBER IS [XXX]. HE CAN VERIFY HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST BY THE QUOTE HE GAVE US. IT'S APPROXIMATELY $1,100 TO FIX. THANKS FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER NHTSA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STRUCK TWICE BY ANOTHER MOTORIST ON THE FRONT AND REAR ENDS. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHEN A PASSENGER OCCUPIED THE SEAT. THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

I WAS HIT BROADSIDE, ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, BY ANOTHER DRIVER GOING APPROXIMATELY 25-30 MPH BUT MY SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE OTHER CAR CRASHED INTO THE FRONT THREE-QUARTERS OF MY DRIVER'S DOOR PLUS THE REST OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE IN FRONT OF THE DOOR. MY CAR REPAIR FACILITY SAYS THE AIR BAG ON THIS MODEL WILL ONLY DEPLOY IF THE CAR IS HIT PRECISELY ON THE FRAME BETWEEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR SO BECAUSE MY DRIVER'S DOOR WAS HIT SLIGHTLY IN FRONT OF THAT -- THE FRONT THREE-QUARTERS OF THE DRIVER'S DOOR NOT THE BACK ONE-QUARTER -- IT DIDN'T DEPLOY. THAT DOESN'T SEEM SAFE; IS THAT CORRECT??

PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR REMAINS ON WHEN ADULT (~110 LBS) IS PRESENT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. ENSURED SEATED PROPERLY, PASSENGER AIRBAG STILL DISABLED. COMPLAINED MANY TIMES TO DEALERSHIP OVER THE COURSE OF 3-4 YEARS WITH A RESPONSE OF "EVERYTHING IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY". FINALLY THE SEAT BOTTOM WAS REPLACED TO ENSURE THE SENSOR WAS GOOD - PROBLEM PERSISTS, NISSAN DEALERS NO LONGER WILLING TO ATTEMPT TO FIX. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WITH A FIVE-STAR CRASH SAFETY RATING, BUT I HARDLY BELIEVE THAT WOULD BE TRUE WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG NOT FUNCTIONING. A POTENTIALLY GRAVE SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE (NEW), MY WIFE NOTICED THAT WHEN SHE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG STATUS LIGHT STAYS ON, INDICATING THE AIR BAG IS TURNED OFF EVEN THOUGH AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT AND CLAIMS THAT IT IS WORKING CORRECTLY AND BLAMED THAT MY WIFE WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT WRONG. IT IS NOT AN OCCURRENCE THAT ALWAYS HAPPENS, JUST PERIODICALLY. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS PERFORMING ACCORDING TO STANDARDS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 33,000.
