2013 Nissan ALTIMA Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Description of the problem	The light that indicates my passenger frontal air bag will not deploy is coming on when a normal sized adult is in the front seat. Apparently, this is tied to a sensor which is supposed to disable the air bag if someone has a small child (between 30 lbs and 80 lbs) in the front seat due to the increased risk of injury with an airbag deployment. When i first bought the car, it happened approximately 10% of the time i had an adult in the front seat. I have taken my vehicle into the nissan dealership twice for this issue. Once i was told that it was inspected with no issues found. And the second time, the dealership performed a re-programming of the computer according to a tsb from nissan that they had on file. Since the re-programming was done, the frequency has increased to roughly 30% of the time an adult is in the front seat. The size of the passenger is irrelevant. It happens equally often when my 135 lb wife is in the front seat as it does when my dad or father-in-law (both roughly 180 lbs - 200 lbs) are in the front seat. I love the car, but this safety issue needs to be addressed. The previous recall/tsb has not resolved or even improved the issue. It actually made it worse.
