NHTSA complaint #10594715, filed 2014-05, 12,500 miles“Bought 2013 Altima in feb. In march noticed the passenger light was on when someone was sitting in the seat. Followed by on and off frequently. Took the car to the dealer.....said he found sensor was bad. On nov. 5,2013 it happened and returned to the dealer who said it showed no errors.

NHTSA complaint #10552141, filed 2013-11“I love the fact that my car has the heated steering wheel and for paying so much for this vehicle to have this wonderful feature you would expect it to work. Well it did for the first month, but I used it alot, usually on highway trips when it would cut off I would turn it back on, then about a month after that I noticed it was only getting warm at the top of the steering wheel and not the rest. Then a little later it doesn't even get warm anymore. I have taken it to service at least 2 different times, and they just tell me that it is normal. …”
