Model Year	2013

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Passenger air bag light comes on intermittently with an adult passenger in the front seat weighing approximately 150 lbs. The yellow light (middle dashboard) always comes on when car is started. It usually goes out (as it should) after about five seconds. Sometimes it stays on -- sometimes for 15 minutes or more. It sometimes comes on after i have been driving for a while. I sometimes pull over and turn off the car and restart and it usually goes out like it is supposed to. Took car to dealership where we bought it. They said they couldn't duplicate the problem. They also said there is a recall for some 2013 altimas for air bag weight sensor problems, but that our vin # wasn't included. Looking online, it looks like many people are having same problem. This is a definite safety hazard. When light is on, air bags won't deploy if in an accident occurs.
