Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The center console air bag light becomes illuminated after the passenger had been seated in the car for some time, indicating the passenger seat air bag has been disabled.. Took the car in to nissan as i was alerted to a recall. I was told my sensor did not need to be replaced, just reprogrammed. That did not solve the problem. The light keeps coming on. The passenger is over 150 pounds. The light comes on after the car has been operational, the light always goes off when the vehicle is started. The passenger is usually reading, so they are sitting still. When the light comes on, nissan indicates the air bags may not work in the event of a collision. I have taken this car back to nissan 4 times because of this problem. Since the computer indicates no errors, nothing gets fixed. When i leave the dealer, there is always a reason why nothing gets fixed and i am also told there is nothing wrong. There is obviously a problem with the passenger seat sensor. I am very concerned on the safety of the passenger since the air bags will not deploy if this light is on.
