Description of the problem	Have a 2008 nissan altima that the air bag light on the passenger side stays on whether there is an occupant in the passenger seat or not. This could result in the passenger air bag not functioning properly in a crash. Problem is due to faulty sensor system. This has been an on going problem for nissan that has resulted in previous recalls and several customer complaints. Nissan now has a recall of 3. 53 million vehicles model years 2013-2017 regarding this very same issue. Nhtsa please investigate that this recall should expand further to vehicles prior to 2013. In 2008 this problem was detected and recalled. The us national highway traffic safety administration upgraded an investigation into this air bag deployment issue after reviewing complaints whether prior nissan recalls adequatley addressed the problem. There are several complaints on this very website regarding this same air bag issues/sensor system problem with earlier model year nissan vehicles. I do not understand how nissan can only recall 2013-2017 model years when earlier models vehicles are having the exact same issues. Nissan is turning their backs on safety.
