Description of the problem	My airbags in my car are non-functional. The red and yellow airbag lights are on for the duration of any trip in the car. The sensor that is supposed to detect an adult in the passenger seat does not function so the passenger airbag is always off -attachment 1. I went to the deacon jones nissan dealership in goldsboro nc on 4-12-17 for the recall on this issue. The "reprogramming" that was done was ineffective. This was not reported to me. I returned to the dealership on 7-6-17 to get the issue addressed. I was told that my car had no recalls outstanding and i would need to pay out of pocket to get the airbag control unit replaced. Instead i elected to call nissan to see if they could offer an explanation or remedy the problem. I called and spoke with [xxx] agentid: [xxx]. He created a case and sent it to their repair specialists. Today, 7-11-17 i spoke with [xxx] the case manager. He informed me that nissan would not be replacing the defective airbag control unit and that i would need to pay to have it replaced out of pocket. My concerns are: 1. Nissan isn't taking their customers safety seriously. Some people would simply not be able to pay to have this defective unit replaced and could suffer injury as a result. 2. The airbag control unit (if i replaced it out of pocket) would fail again. 3. The airbag unit reprogramming has been ineffective on other cars and doesn't seem to address the issue. Similar to the hood latch issue which required 3 recalls to address. Http://blog. Caranddriver.

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.
