When driver's seat belt not used, the seat belt indicator light on the dash stays on steady, which is normal. When I use the seat belt, the indicator light sometimes goes off (normal) and sometimes it blinks rapidly on and off. Does that mean there is a problem and is the seat belt , in fact, working properly? I asked Nissan and they said to bring the car in for examination. . . I am curious if anyone is having the same problem and if there is anything wrong with the safety product feature (seat belt) with this vehicle.
