| Description of the problem | Passenger right side airbag warning light is intermittently on. Diagnosis was "passenger side pre tensioner" since this time the problem has not been solved. The seat itself was replaced, but the problem still remains in december 2012. Service says that the occupant weight less than 110 may cause the warning, but the december 2012 diagnosis used 3 different people (100,120, and 170 pounds) and found no problem. When the light is on, there is no assurance that the airbag will function in a crash. After the december 28 check the warning light has not come on but only one short drive from dealer. |
