Description of the problem	There is a fault in the sensor for the front passenger-side seat airbag. It fails to properly sense that an adult is occupying the seat. The airbag-off indicator light often is lit when an adult who weighs approximately 102-105 pounds, is sitting in the front passenger seat. I brought this to the attention of our dealer, clay nissan of newton, mass. In december 2015. The dealer charged me $99. 99 but failed to fix the problem. Their report stated that the airbag system was "operating as designed." obviously it wasn't. Newer altima models have been recalled for this exact problem. The 2011 altima also should be recalled asap.
