Passenger air bag will not go on when my wife who ways 110 lbs. Sits in the passenger seat. We tried to get the air bag to go on a couple of the same vehicles. None worked. We have contacted Nissan of North America to no avail. The dealer told us that 110 lbs. Is the cut off for the switch. In this day and age there are way to many children that way 110 lbs.
