12 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 07/20/2018

The supplemental air bag warning light came on multiple times and I have taken it to three Nissan dealerships and they have not been able to fix the issue. The car has never been in an accident neither the airbags have ever deployed. Every time I go to a Nissan dealership they claim a connector was loose or that the circuit was open. Every time I take the car out of the dealership the light is off, but after a day or so the light comes on again. It seems to me that is unacceptable that such a critical system as the airbag is, would not work properly, and that Nissan would not know how to fix it. They keep trying to change different parts on the airbag system to try to get it fixed, but it seems to me that they don't know what to do and are just trying to see what fixes the issue. It also seems that Nissan didn't do a good job with the airbag system since there's already been recalls on something similar for this car.
