Description of the problem	I purchased my 2008 nissan pathfinder in early january 2009. Early february 2009 my friend sat in the passenger seat and the airbag light came on indicating that it was not on. She is at least 5 feet 8 inches and 135 pounds. I am also the same height and weight and it didn't work for me when i sat in the passenger seat as well. This occurs every time someone lighter than 160lbs sits in the passenger seat. I brought the car in for service and they told me that it was functioning properly and if the person in the passenger seat wasn't sitting in such a way to touch the sensor, then it would not work. They also told me that it is operating properly according to nissan standards. So if i or my passenger are not sitting in the seat in such a way to set off the sensor, then we aren't protected. It wasn't as if we were sitting on our knees or in some weird position. We were sitting as we would in any vehicle. I also brought up that in an accident, when the car is being jostled around, that controlling how we sit in the seat is the last thing on our mind and we wouldn't get the benefit of an airbag? I also brought up that the driver airbag light does not go on and i am the one who usually drives it. They told me that the driver airbag always stays on because it is the driver. Nissan has not given me any resolution to this problem. Thank you for your time.
