Description of the problem	I purchased a 2009 nissan altima in sept. 2009. I noticed immediately that the passenger airbag remains off 50% of the time when my girlfriend (approx. 100 pounds) sits in it. I tried to follow up with the dealership where i purchased the car and a separate dealer as well. My dealership where i purchased the vehicle told me it was a common problem and that there is no way to leave the airbag on or to adjust the sensitivity. He also stated that other people had similar complaints. I tried bringing it in to another dealership, who told me that at least 2 or 3 people had brought their cars in with the same complaint and nissan could not resolve the problem. The frequency of this problem seems relatively common. How can such a hazardous situation be in compliance with nhtsa standards? Even if it is safe for 99% of the population, the lack of control by the nhtsa is severely endangering the lives of the other 1%. I am only one person and hope that the nhtsa helps issue a recall on this problem. I do not want to spend the time and effort to explore media outlets and am really hopeful that this can be addressed. I cannot imagine the lawsuits that would result from an airbag not deploying when i see this complaint all over message boards and on the nhtsa site. Please help us protect our loved ones.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
