Air bag sensor suddenly come on. It cost $500 to diagnose that it was "probably" the sensor of the passenger seat. Cost to repair estimated at $5000. I see that this is a more common problem than nissan admits. It should be recalled as others have. Not sure why it hasn't been. The car is worth less than $10,000.
