| Description of the problem | Passenger air bag on passenger side shows disabled with my kids that are over 110 lbs in the seat. I had the dealer review the problem and was told that there was not an issue. Was told to look in the manual and that the person had to sit in the seat correctly or they are to light. The seating was not the problem, the car is. The dealer also stated that the air bag bladder in the seat is very easy to miss if not sitting fully in the back of the seat, wrong the person is sitting fine. If i stop the car put in park and back in drive the airbag re-activates. This has happened with multiple people multiple times mostly during the first drive of the day. |
