Description of the problem	Leased the vehicle in january 2013. Noticed that when i sit in the passenger seat, the airbag off light is illuminated at random times. Sometimes it is on the entire time i am in the passenger seat, sometimes it comes on after driving for a while and stays on and sometimes it doesn't come on at all. Brought to dealer for various fixes/recalls on the ocs system; had the latest recall issued in april 2014 done on my car a couple of weeks ago and the light still comes on intermittently, same as before. This is a safety issue to me, as i do not know if the airbags will deploy or not if we are involved in an accident because there is no consistency with the airbag off light being on when i sit there. The dealer looked at it once more for me yesterday (5/28) and said there is nothing else they can do. They have no idea why the light illuminates or if the airbags will deploy if i am involved in an accident. This is not a satisfactory answer to me. Someone else must get involved to get this issue resolved for me. I understand the dealership's hands are tied as they have no further direction/info from nissan to correct the problem and they don't know what to do. I need a response and fix on this.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
