The passenger side air bag light started blinking even with the seatbelt on properly. This vehicle had never been in crash once or ever. I am very concern.

Defective airbag sensor for 2005 nissan xterra. Recall on the federal safety agency id # 08v690000, dated 12/18/2008. Had sensor replaced by nissan dealership on april 9 or 10, 2009. On 02/24/2010 airbag lights for driver and passenger came on, owners manual states the airbag is non-operational and needs serviced. Will this be on the prior recall? Will this be a new recall? Will I need to take responsibility due to a prior recall?
Airbag system failure light goes off and passenger airbag does not activate when passenger is in front passenger seat. Airbag may not deploy in an accident. First time I was told it was a lose connector second time I was told the computer had to be reset. Third time I was told the computer was replaced. It is now back in nissan service for the forth time.
On february 11, 2006, I was driving not far from my house, when my vehicle suddenly lost control. We rolled five times before we hit the first tree. We went right over that tree. Then we rolled another three times before we were stopped by a chain link fence with a eucalyptus tree. My airbags did not go off. My vehicle was totaled.
On nov. 4th 2005, I was driving my 2005 nissan xterra at about 40 miles per hour. A deer ran into the road. I applied my brakes but hit the deer. My airbag light came on but my airbag did not deploy. The car was taken to amm collision and over $3500.00 worth of damage was done. The airbag harness wire was cut during the accident. At this time, we are unsure if the airbag should have deployed or would have deployed if the wire wouldn't have been cut. I spoke with the dealership in austin tx and the service dept guy indicated that the airbag should have gone off with a 35 MPH hit. I am just trying to find out if anyone else had this issue. Is this a safety issue. At this time, nissan doesn't have the part to replace it in my car. I can't drive my car due to this safety issue.
