Description of the problem	2013 nissan altima sv purchased brand new, april 2013.. My passenger side airbag light detector is constantly intermittently lighting up when my daughter, who is 18 sits in the seat.. She weighs about 115 lbs. To get the light to turn off, and therefore hope the airbag works, if god forbid we get into an accident, i have to turn off the car, have her get out, then get back in and then start the car again.. This usually results in the light going out and then we can proceed "safely" on our way, with the airbag hopefully operational. That's pretty bad when we already have a ritual to figure this issue out, don't you think?? I did take it to nissan where i bought it new, 2 years ago and they told me that she doesn't weigh enough for the sensor.. I have a friend who weighs 180 lbs and the light also occasionally goes on with her in the seat!! So, by nissan's reasoning, then 180 lbs isn't enough to activate the sensor???? She loves it because it makes her feel thinner, but seriously, this is ridiculous! Something is obviously wrong with either the airbag or sensor! Now, i see nissan has a recall for this exact same issue that i have been dealing with for 2 years, but somehow, my car is excluded when this is exactly what i have had issues with. What is the reasoning here?? Also, i live in florida, where the humidity is very high and i know there have been many issues with the takata airbags where the humidity is high, like here where i live and drive. Ps,... Other than this, i really do love this car.. Wish this would get straightened out, or nissan may have some lawsuits on there hands with regards to these airbags!!
