Description of the problem	I have a 2009 nissan altima where the passenger side airbags are being disabled when a passenger sits in the car. A light on the dashboard shows that the airbags are turned off. This has happened to different passengers, of a variety of weight and size. None of the passengers have been small children. The lightest passenger was 110 pounds and the heaviest was 188 pounds. This has occurred more than 6 times. I have taken this to a nissan dealer twice and they are not able to fix the problem. I have found out that other nissan owners are having the same issue. I do have video proof that the airbags are turned off when a passenger is in the seat. I am horrified that nissan will not authorize a replacement of the air bag sensors. Can you please help me? I do not want anyone to die because of this factory defect.
