Description of the problem	My passenger air bag light intermittently comes on when an adult is seated in the passenger seat. Sometimes it comes on when no one is seated. Soon after this first happened, i received a recall, and on may 9, 2014, took my car to the nissan dealer. It was "reprogramed" and did not fix the problem. I took it back on june 6, 2014, and the report says "general maintenance". The problem persisted. I took it again on nov 14, 2014, and the "strain gauge" was reset . I was told to return if problem persisted, which it did (and continues to do). Very frustrated, i returned june 25, 2015. The problem "cannot be verified", so nothing was done. I returned again sept 8, 2015 and was really truly upset that this serious potentially life threatening problem is still unable to be eliminated. This time i was told that it is a "design" problem and cannot be fixed by mechanics. I was told engineers have been called to the dealership to address this same problem and that they are unable to fix it. I find it hard to imagine that nissan wants to dust this off. It cannot be fixed? I imagine the next time i go in they will poke out the light bulb, or perhaps put black tape over the light so it won't "disturb" me. Should i just "not worry"? What is the remedy, and how much longer do i have to drive the care with the worry that the air bag will not operate in the event of a crash? I find this intolerable.

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