Out of nowhere my airbag light start blinking, I ran the code and got a P2096 which apparently is not related to the airbag I took it to Firestone to get it checked out and they told me they cannot do anything about the airbag light I would have to go to my dealership for help with that. No one seems to know what to do.

I bought this new vehicle and I am the first owner. Two months ago, the airbag light is on and the system said the front passenger seat airbag is disabled even though my wife is siting on the front passenger seat. It seems that the airbag system cannot detect someone is siting on the passenger seat. I took this Nissan versa to the dealership in Columbia, MO (Joe Machens Nissan), and the staff told me that the sensor under front passenger seat doesn't work, which means the airbag will not work if accident happen. It's very dangerous. The staff also told me that this is not under warranty. When I brought this new vehicle, the contract said in the first 35000 miles, it's "bumper to bumper" warranty, which covers everything in the vehicle. Now my vehicle has only 34000 miles but they refused to follow the warranty. I has passed two months, no one contact me to solve this issue. My wife and I lived a anxiety-ridden life in the past two months. Considering the safety issue, I am going to repair it in Joe Machens Nissan at my own expense on 12/20/2021 because they refuse to cover it under warranty.
Turned on my car that day and air bag lights stay blinking all the time for driver and front passenger.
I WAS HIT FROM THE SIDE. THE COLLISION WAS PRETTY BAD, MY CAR WAS TOTALED. IT WAS THE THE FRONT OF THE PASSENGERS SEAT. AT THE SPEED THE CRASH HAPPENED, THE FORCE WITH WHICH I WAS HIT AND THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR I WAS UNPLEASANTLY SURPRISED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, THEY COULD HAVE PREVENTED INJURY. MY CAR WAS IN FORWARD MOTION ON A HIGHWAY, I WAS HIT BY A TURNING CAR.
AIRBAG LIGHT LIGHT CAME ON. TOKE IT TO GET CHECKED THE FIRST TIME WAS TOLD OLD CODES CAME UP BUT EVERYTHING LOOK GOOD THAT IF THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. ONE HOUR LATER LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. TOOK TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT SHOWED OLD CODES AND WIRES WERE CRINKLED. THEY FIXED THEM AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE FOR TWO WEEKS. LIGHT CAME BACK ON. TOKE IT BACK TO THEM. THEY CHECKED IT AGAIN SAME OLD CODES CAME UP AGAIN AND WAS TOLD IT WAS SUGGESTED BY NISSAN THAT I NEEDED AIRBAG MODULE BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT WOULD ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THAT WAS THE FIRST THING THEY HAD TO DO AND IT WOULD COST A LITTLE OVER 1300 DOLLARS. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD FORK OUT THAT KIND OF MONEY FOR THEM TO GUESS. ALSO KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS BUT WAS TOLD NOT MY CAR.
