2014 Nissan Altima seats complaints

The pass. Side air bag off light do not all ways turn off when someone is setting in pass. Seat. Nissan last year had a recall for this problem, they reloaded the ocs software for this problem. I have had 3 problem so far sense the recall. Most of the time there is no one but me in the car so I do not have a idea of how often it could had fail if someone was in the pass. Seat with every trip. I have only taken the car once to the dealer for this problem because the first time I did not think anything about it. The second time I took it to the dealer and after checking it out, they told me that there was noting they could or would do because they had no failure and that nissan will not let them replace any parts unless there is a failure as nissan will not pay for the item. Open ref.# 19611123 with nissan and was told about the same thin, except nissan said that it was the dealer call but they would not pay for no failure part replacement. I believe is a safety problem and someone with power should look into it, do to the fact there have already been a recall for this problem. No one I talk to at the dealer or on the phone to nissan would or could do anything about it. The internet has many write up about this problem that no one will do anything about. I guess they are waiting for someone to be badly injured or killed to take the problem serious.
The front passenger air bag lite stays on while the passenger is seated.indicating the air bag is in-operative. The dealer performed updates, both software and hardware. The problem was never fixed ! After demanding a factory engineer to inspect the car, the result was: some of these cars , this failure will happen, and there is nothing that can be done" his recommendation was , drive to the side of the road, turn off the car and re-start the car and the "computer" will be reset ! Now in excess of 4500 miles, it still fails !
[xxx] january 31, 2015 dear sir: I bought my nissan, 2014 altima, in may 2014. I have sciatic nerve pain that originates from my lower back and runs down my legs sometimes causing me to fidget in my seat while driving. On four separate occasions, while trying to get comfortable in the driver seat, the outside of my knee has inadvertently come in contact with the overdrive off switch located on the inside potion of the shift handle on the center console. When the overdrive off button is engaged, I experience a sudden loss in power and the engine seems to convulse and shudder. I immediately pull over, usually in heavy traffic, to try to get out of this mode. Luckily, this has not happened to me while I was on the highway, but rather at about 35 MPH in heavy traffic conditions. I find it to be an extremely dangerous situation which luckily has not LED to any traffic accidents. I see absolutely no need or any situation where I would ever use this system and therefore see no reason to equip the car with this feature. Every time I do this, I feel I am doing damage to the engine or perhaps leading to some huge expensive repair bill down the road. At the very least, the button should have been placed in a position where it cannot be inadvertently pushed. It should have been placed in a spot where you would have to intentionally access it. I find it to be a safety hazard and a concern for doing expensive damage to the vehicle. Sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
