“Rear seatbelt sensors in my 2024 Nissan Altima repeatedly beep and show an unbuckled warning, even when the back seat is unoccupied and with zero belongings. This started around 2 months ago. This causes a distraction while driving and may indicate a malfunctioning occupant detection system.”Jul 7, 2025 · Seat Belts · NHTSA owner report

Sources & method

Safety Signal starts every model-year at 100 and subtracts points per open NHTSA recall campaign by severity: critical 15 (fire risk, park-outside or do-not-drive advisories), high 8 (brakes, steering, airbags, loss of drive power, structure, battery), moderate 6, minor 3 (software, labels, lighting fixed by an update). Floor 35. A ≥ 90, B ≥ 80, C ≥ 70, D ≥ 60, otherwise F. Complaint counts and NHTSA crash ratings are shown separately and are not blended into the grade.

EPA figures come from fueleconomy.gov vehicle records. Recalls, complaints, investigations and crash ratings come from NHTSA's public flat files, refreshed weekly.
