Description of the problem	I have advanced airbags in my car and a light "passenger airbag off " light on the dash that lets me know when the airbag is off. On numerous occassions the light has come on while driving down the highway with a passenger in the passenger seat. The light has on several occassions stayed on for up to 10 minutes. It has been doing it for several months now and i have taken the car to the dealership where i bought it several times and asked them to check it out but it still continues to do it.
