Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2011 Nissan Maxima

The passenger occupant sensor failed, I was in a auto accident that required my front bumper, ac condesor and radiator to br replaced. After getting it fixed I noticed my seatbelt light was blinking, I thought maybe it would go away. I got it scanned turns out the passenger occupant sensor went out and caused all the airbags to turn off.

The front passenger airbag (off) light stays lit on the passenger dash, even when there is an adult in the seat, and a separate one is on the driver's dash panel. Was told it probably was a sensor in the seat and would cost about $1600. It stays like that and never changes. Nissan wants money just to take a look.

Since the purchase of my Nissan Maxima, the front passenger air bag sensor has been sensitive. It lights up indicating that the air bag is not engaged when I sit in the seat. I am a 125 lb woman. There is no indication of minimum weight to activate the airbag in the manual. This has been an ongoing problem since we purchased the car 2 1/2 years ago. We have taken it to 2 different dealers to check out the problem. They say there is no problem but I can't believe the car wasn't designed for a grown woman to sit in the front seat.
