| Description of the problem | My car was sitting for a month in my driveway. I just got back from vacation. Next day i was going to work, my air bag light came on. I was not sure if it was safe for me to drive to work. Right away i called my garage and they told me that i should bring it in to get it inspected. Upon inspection they realized that the sensor under my passengers seat was malfunctioning. They gave me the exact name of the problem. Its a b2290 occupant classification system status, front passenger side. The problem is that i'm the only one that drives that car and rarely does somebody sit in the passenger seat. Something needs to be done with this problem. I m not the first one to have this same problem. My garage fixed the problem. But i believe that this should be posted on the recalls for this type of car. This is a serious safety hazard concern. |
