Description of the problem	I purchased a factory certified 2008 altima coupe with slightly over 30,000 miles in october 2012 and at about 40,000 miles the passenger air bag light starting coming on with no passenger, then went to the red air bag light on the dash. The air bag controller was replaced at 42,000 miles and failed again at 50,000 miles.
