Description of the problem	Approximately the last 13 months i have noticed 2-3 times a week, the passenger airbag off light was on. On several occasions while this light was on, i drove by the nissan dealer (eastside nissan of bellevue, wa) and showed the light was on even with my wife sitting square in the passenger seat. The technician drove with my wife with the light still on. However, he pulled in some sensor and stated that the system should work fine even if the light was on. They stated that they tested the sensor last year and it worked fine so they are not going to do anything about it. I have called nissan usa many times and all i would get is someone telling me that they have to replicate the issue. Based on nissan's position, i am holding nissan corporation, eastside nissan, and nhtsa liable for any injuries which result from injury from an accident and also pain and suffering and any additional distress, especially if the airbag or other safety system fails. The nissan airbag system can lead to a fatality even with an adult 150+ lbs. Just prior to an accident. No part have been changed out and my warranty is about to expire with no action on nissan's part except for excuses of why they cannot fix the problem.
