Description of the problem	The "passenger airbag not on" light has been intermittently flashing. It now remains lit (passenger airbag off) when the seat is unoccupied and when a full grown adult sits in the passenger seat. In november of 2012, the airbag light began to flash on the dashboard panel. I took my car into a nissan dealership for repair after reading about campaign 08v521000. After diagnostics were ran by the technician, it was found that the srs system was off, the occupant sensory unit failed (dtc code b1018), and a new seat cushion assembly is needed to repair the malfunction. Nissan was contacted about the malfunction and denied covering the repair under the recall since my vin didn't fall under the recall, even though the conditions for repair fit the description. The vehicle was not repaired. I want nissan to repair this malfunction so that i, and my passengers, can feel safe in my car.
