Description of the problem	2013 nissan altima - contacted dealer shortly after purchase concerning passenger airbag disable light coming on when my wife (105 lbs) is sitting in the passenger seat. Dealer could not reproduce error and no error codes were found. Re-call was performed in may 2014, and did not resolve the issue. After many visits to the dealer complaining about the unresolved passenger airbag issue we were told the seat belt is the primary protection and the airbag is only supplementary. Feb 2014 dealer was finally able to reproduce the problem by placing two 50 lb salt bags in the passenger seat. Dealer contacted nissan technical support for assistance, but they were told it was within allowable limits, therefore its okay and nothing will/can be done. After purchasing what we thought to be a quality vehicle @ $30,000+ only to find out we have no airbag protection was very disappointing to say the least, unfortunately this will not be corrected until there is a fatality associated with this issue. Current mileage is 23,731.
