Description of the problem	The red air bag/seat belt warning light on passenger seat is flashing continuously with or without passenger sitting on a passenger seat. There is also no change if seat belts are locked in or not - the red light is flashing all the time. On 17th of september my car was checked by nissan service at autonation nissan marrietta (925 cobb parkway se, marietta ga 30060). They cleared the code and monitor. On 13th of october the red air bag/seat belt warning light started flashing again and i made an appointment at autonation nissan. On 16th of october, my car was checked again by nissan service and i was told that the problem is in a sensor in a cushion seat and estimate cost is $900. They didn't have it in their inventory and i had to wait for a delivery. On 28th of october, i was informed that the cushion seat is in their facility. I checked nissan recalls list and found out that there was a recall of nissan altima 2008 because of flashing air bag red light (nhtsa campaign # 08v-521). The description fits exactly to the problem with my car. I contacted the national consumer affairs department of nissan north america and made an official complaint on 20th of october. I was informed nissan would contact me on the same day or next (on 20th or 21st of october), but no one did. I called again the national consumer affairs department of nissan north america on 28th of october and was told i would be contacted by nissan at the end of a day. I was not contacted by any nissan representative yet. I believe i should not pay for something that was recalled for this model year.
