Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2010 Nissan Altima

The airbag passenger notification light keeps blinking on in the dash. It can be reset, but as soon as a passenger sits in the chair the light comes on again. According to the advisor the sensor needs to be replaced. According to the Nissan advisor none of the airbags will deploy if the light is on. This seems to me a very dangerous situation.

Supplemental air bag sensor did not work. Had to replace the front passenger seat which contained the sensor for the airbag. Nissan has recalled 2013 Altimas to correct this exact problem. Unfortunately it cost me $800. To correct my problem. I'm sure I'm not the only owner of an earlier model to have this problem.

The passenger airbag sensor was malfunction which caused the indication light flashing. The Nissan dealership diagnostic the problem and the result was to replace the passenger seat. Since it was the airbag sensor malfunction, it will affect the deployment of the airbag if accident happens. This is not a wear & tear issue. It is the manufacturing problem. Even though a later model of Nissan's vehicle was recalled for the same issue, Nissan corporation refused to replace the seat at their cost since this particular model was not in their recall list.
