what to do?

I can't get any nissan dealer to help me with a S.E.S. light that won't go off. I can reset it, but it comes back on a day or even hours later. Any suggestions? I think I might trade it in for something else.

Already been replaced at 25k, have 66k now. Code is for emissions. Dealer says in order to properly diagnosis properly, I must take aftermarket muffler off and replace with factory. BTW cars runs like a champ..
