Description of the problem	With a full-size adult sitting in the front passenger seat, the airbag light stays illuminated (which indicates the passenger side airbag is not engaged). This happened every single time i've operated my vehicle since i purchased it on december 28th, no matter the size of the adult sitting in the passenger seat - anywhere from 130 lb. Individual to 220 lb. Individual. For reference, my friend has a rogue and the airbag engages (i. E. Light goes off) with just her handbag in the seat. I took it to the local dealership since the car is fully covered by warranty. They ordered a new sensor from nissan and have not been able to resolve the issue with the new sensor. They have had my brand new vehicle (500 miles) for 6 days. I read on-line boards that indicate this is a problem with 2013 nissan altimas (http://www. Nissanclub. Com/forums/2013-nissan-altima-discussion-2-5-3-5/331394-passenger-airbag-light. Html) and am very concerned i purchased this vehicle. I may be returning it under the lemon law.
