Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2009 Nissan Altima

Was in a wreck and the driver side air bags did not come out.

My 2009 Nissan Altima coupe passenger side air bag will go off and on when an adult is sitting in the seat. This has been an intermittent problem. I have had it in to the Nissan dealer to fix the problem on two different occasions and both times they tell me there is nothing wrong. (it has always done this - every time a passenger is in my vehicle) my research indicates the 2007/2008 coupes were recalled for what appears to be same issue (08v521000). I can't get the dealer to fix the problem. I don't want to die in the crash or someone else to die in a crash because the airbag didn't inflate. Help! updated ivoq 05/25/11.

I have a 2009 Nissan Altima where the passenger side airbags are being disabled when a passenger sits in the car. A light on the dashboard shows that the airbags are turned off. This has happened to different passengers, of a variety of weight and size. None of the passengers have been small children. The lightest passenger was 110 pounds and the heaviest was 188 pounds. This has occurred more than 6 times. I have taken this to a Nissan dealer twice and they are not able to fix the problem. I have found out that other Nissan owners are having the same issue. I do have video proof that the airbags are turned off when a passenger is in the seat. I am horrified that Nissan will not authorize a replacement of the air bag sensors. Can you please help me? I do not want anyone to die because of this factory defect.

Tl- the contact owns a 2009 Nissan altma. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle with a passenger in the front seat the air bag sensor light would illuminate indicating that the passenger side air bag system was deactivated. The contact indicated that the failure was intermittent. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but the cause for the failure was undetermined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure mileage was 100. Jft.
