Description of the problem	After owning my vehicle for less than a month , an indicator light came on indicating that the passenger side air bag was now deactivated even though the front passenger seat was occupied by an adult . After the vehicle ignition was turned off and restarted the light disappeared . A few days later the light once again came on to indicate that the air bag was off with an adult in the seat . I took it to the dealer to be serviced ... And was told that it was probably caused by the person " not sitting in the seat correctly " and proceeded to show me how a passenger should sit in the seat ! I explained that once it was on , the light never went back off no matter how the passenger sat . The light continued to warn that there was no active airbag ! After the dealer investigated they said that nothing was wrong with the sensors . They said that" the sensors take a while to adjust " . I inquired as to why nissan had just recalled the 2013 altimas for this same problem ( recall 13v069000 )... But i was told that the problem had been fixed on new vehicles like mine . This air bag deactivated light continues to come on and stay on randomly to this date . The dealer says the only way to diagnose it correctly is to bring the vehicle in while the airbag light off is illuminated . Needless to say this is difficult to do . It is going back in for this problem next week . At this point i am unsure whether or not i truly do have active passenger side airbags ... I don't want to have that answered when it is too late ! Search the internet ( altima forums ) and you will see a large number of people with the same issue, as well as the same hollow explanation !
