37 Air Bag problem of the 2014 Nissan Maxima

Failure Date: 10/18/2019

At random times when I am driving the car and my wife is sitting in the front passenger seat the 'passenger air bag is off' light located in the dash illuminates indicating the system thinks the seat is empty. This is random and always after a period of driving the car. My wife weighs approximately 160#, and is sitting flat bottomed on the seat with both feet on the floor. We have begun taking cell phone photos showing a time and date stamp as proof. We also have some without a time stamp. We have taken the car to a Nissan dealer 3 times and they report 'no problem found'. I have contacted Nissan customer service and they are not interested. I am willing to provide the photos as proof. So far the times we have experienced this is at hiway speeds, flat and level roadways.
