Description of the problem	My husband and i purchased a nissan altima 2009 sometime around october 2009. We immediately had problems with the "airbag turned off " light coming on even though i was sitting on the seat correctly and i weigh around 135 pounds which is more than enough weight to ensure that the airbag off light didn't turn on. I took my car to the dealership and even though i had video on my cell phone showing the problem occurring, i was asked to go on a ride around to see if the situation would repeat itself. Because the light comes on randomly, and repeatedly, during that 10 minute ride it did not turn on. Needless to say, after much insisting, nissan went ahead and replaced the sensor on the seat. This resulted in no change to the problem and i ride half the time with the "airbag turned off" light constantly on. I am afraid that if i ever get involved in an accident, the airbag will fail to deploy and it will result in my having a serious injury or death. I have not personally spoken to nissan since the sensor was replaced mainly because on the initial contact of the problem, they didn't seem to believe me even though i had video proof. I did want to make sure that this problem was reported just in case others are having the same problem as me.
