The airbag warning light is blinking and has been for approximately 9 months. I live in Salida, CO which does not have a Nissan Dealership to take my vehicle into for servicing. I recently saw an article on Fox 31 News pertaining to the same airbag malfunction and would like to know what to do about my problem.

What owners say
I have a 2016 nissan frontier with only 68,000 miles on it. The airbag light on the dash started flashing. I took it to any mohr nissan and they diagnosed that the sensor inside the passenger seat that tells the system if someone is sitting there has failed and that it is an $1800 repair, because the only way to fix it is to replace the whole seat. They said they couldn't say whether the airbag would deploy or not in an accident if I didn't fix the sensor.
I have taken my truck twice to the nissan dealer for repair air bag dash light warning. The SRS light keeps going off even when I took to the nissan dealer shop where purchased the vehicle. I can only speculate that it has to do something with the air bag itself or possibly the sensor for the passenger seat. Both times after they so called "fixed" the problem, the light would come back on a day or two after. Mostly whenever I have a passenger sit in the passenger chair. The "SRS" air bag light would turn off for a while at first after first passenger would sit. However, once the dashboard airbag light comes bag on, it will never turn off. This is a defect in my vehicle and I know other models under nissan have been recalled, but my truck seems to be affected as well. I would think my vehicle falls under the same recall, however nissan does not recognize this defect.
Air bag light comes on when driving on a dirt road. Fuel related, but not sure, engine light is on it might be evaporative emission system vent circuit shorted. Left wheel passenger side rotor cover keeps twisting and rubs against the wheel and makes noise.
The issue with my nissan frontier is that the passenger airbag light illuminates randomly while driving (indicating that there is not someone sitting in the seat and the airbag would not go off) while there have been full-grown adults sitting properly in the seat. . I was sent to a dealer, where I was charged for them to look into this and I was told there was not anything they could do because they could not replicate the issue. I tried to explain it randomly happens and that is does not happen every time, however I was told they could not do anything else for me. I have tried to reach your company multiple times and have been ignored. This is a serious safety concern. I have videos of this issue and no one will help me.
