Driver side air bag malfunctioning. This safety feature is off. I spoke with oak ridge Nissan and rusty wallace Nissan. Both dealerships have advised the car is out of warranty on this item. In the event of an accident, without this feature, it could cause death. My plan is to let Nissan have the car back. This car has had multiple issues since date of purchase. It is a lemon

We were driving and the air bag light illuminated. We were not in any kind of accident. Pulled over and turned the car off, had passenger get out of car and back in then restarted the car. Light went off like normal. Shortly after driving it came back on and now no longer turns off, disabling my air bags. Have tried to not have passengers, have passengers, not have seat belt, have seat belt and nothing fixes it. Checked the airbag fuse and fuse is intact. Checked that front bumper sensor was clean and had no damage. Disconnected battery, waited 15 minutes and reconnected. Loght remains illuminated. Tried to let the car run for 20 minutes and light is still illuminated. Ran car self diagnostic and nothing showed. Unsure what would have happened while driving 30 mph to turn the light on and cause it to no longer turn off. I no longer feel safe driving the vehicle and need to find a certified repair place to have it fixed properly.
