Description of the problem	Air bag is off light comes on the dash for the passenger side even if an adult is in the seat. I took it to the dealer 2 times while under warranty and the first time they said the computer just needed to be reset. The second time they said we were not sitting in the seat correctly. I told him i weighed 190 lbs that the whole seat was covered with my bottom. They said nothing was wrong with the sensor.
