Description of the problem	I received a recall notice for my 2015 altima for the ocs module. This shuts off the front passenger air bag if the person sitting in the seat isn't heavy enough to be an adult. I took it into the dealer and they reprogrammed it according to the recall directions. Two days later i was riding in the front passenger seat while my wife was driving and noticed the light was on that tells you the front passenger air bag is off. I called the dealer and they said it might not have taken the whole program and they would do it again. When i took it in the service person wouldn't even look at it other than to sit in the passenger seat and tell me it was fine because the light didn't come on. In the year i owned it the light only came on twice with an adult in the passenger seat before the recall. The service person even tried to tell me the air bags will work with the light on saying they are off. That's not what the paperwork says that the same dealership gave me when they did the recall work. So now i'm left with a car that someone in the front passenger seat could get injured or killed if there's an accident and the air bag is off because the ocs module isn't reading their weight right. I filed a complaint with nissan north america and they told me after conferring with the dealer there is nothing they can do to help me. What!!!
