Description of the problem	On approx. 10 jan 2012 the airbag light on the dash began flashing. I made an appointment with john lee nissan to have it checked and serviced. After researching the codes the dealer determined the air bag sensor in the passenger seat cushion failed. The sensor is built into the seat cushion therefore requiring a new seat. The vehicle is out of warranty so i opened a case with nissan consumer affairs (nca). File # 7357731. The service manger at john lee nissan sent his report to nca with his determination that given the failure is a direct result of engineering and a safety concern for the public, nca should cover the cost of repairs. Nissan has had vin specific recalls for seat-seatbelt-airbag components in 2009. See recall information listed below. I pointed out to the dealer and to nca the listed recall but they informed me it did not include my vin. After numerous conversations with [xxx]at nca he also felt the repair should be covered by nissan. He was not able to make a decision due to the case being elevated to a higher tear within nca. Nca has denied the claim.

A varistor in the ocs control unit located in the passenger seat cushion may have been manufactured out of specification.
