Description of the problem	The occupant classification system on my 2008 nissan altima coupe is not working properly. The indicator saying that the airbag is off is lit when there is a full size 150 lb person in the passenger seat. There is a recall out right now for 2008 nissan altima coupes but my vin number is not one of those being recalled. I have taken it to the dealership 4+ times and they keep telling me that everything is working according to specifications. I have talked to nissan and they said there was nothing they could do. This upsets me greatly because i don't have a passenger airbag for full size passengers. Obviously there is something wrong, i told them that i would send a video of my driving with a full size passenger and having the airbag disabled. There is no way to over-ride this function. So i am stuck with either having a one person car or telling my passenger that if we get in a wreck that his airbag wont deploy. They continue to tell me my car is under the correct specifications but i have someone who is double what the sensor weight needs to be in order for the airbag to be enabled. I am stuck with a one person car, because i refuse to drive anyone knowing that if i do get in an accident they will die. I just want the problem fixed. Both nissan and the service shops believe my story fully but they continue to say that until they can find the root of the problem that it cannot be fixed. So again, i am stuck. They ran all of their tests and they came back "ok". I told them that i would like for nissan to buy back my car but they of course refused. I cant drive a car with no passenger airbag and yet they keep telling me that there isn't anything i can do! I am extremely frustrated and upset because i have found the problem before an accident had occurred but yet i cannot fix it. Please help me. I have run out of options.

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.
