Description of the problem	My almost 14 year old son who is 106 lbs. Sits in the passenger seat as well as a male friend who is 220. The passenger air bag light remains "off" when it should be engaged. I took it to a nissan dealer and they said that they reset it and my son may not be "heavy enough". I am very upset at how they handled it (they didn't) and i can guarantee if there is an incident that happens and these were defective, there will be issues. I have read online that numerous other people have the same problem and they said they have to restart the car to get it to go off. I am not doing that or buying it. I was told that if nissan does not recognize this problem for this specific year and model, that the recall with not be covered. It is obviously an issue. Secondly, i made an appt 3 weeks in advance for my hood latch to be repaired to allow for the part to get it. I drove 1. 25 hrs to get it replaced, sat there for 2 hours to be told that they were putting in it and then "did not have it in". They had me take a rental car home "to have a supervisor look at my airbag" as it was over the weekend. I got a disgusting car for 5 days to find out nothing had been repaired. I "need to stop in when i am in town sometime" to get my hood latch replaced. Really???? I will never go back to billion nissan in sioux city. Poor service. I would like both of these issues taken care of promptly. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
