Description of the problem	The passenger side air bag off warning light intermittently turns on when there is a passenger seated in the passenger seat. This indicates that if there were an accident while this warning light is on; the passenger air bag would not go off; which can result in serious injury. I have brought this vehicle to the dealer three times for this issue and they tell me that there are no "codes" to be read and they are unable to reproduce this. The dealer expressed concern that they would have to replace the entire passenger seat because the occupancy classification sensor can't be individually replaced. Apparently this seat is quite expensive; over $2000 and the dealer claims that they can't just replace it without some authorization from nissan. I have even taken a video of my wife in the car seated in the passenger seat and the airbag off warning light is turned on (youtu. Be/uwoqjqwraei) and have provided a link to the dealer. I have called nissan consumer affairs hoping they would have my car fixed. They reply they gave was that since the dealer couldn't reproduce it; they can't do anything. My wife is afraid of driving in the car with me for fear that she could be injured. I have even posted this video so my last resort is to report this to nhtsa where i see that someone else has posted a similar incident.
