Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I noticed that the air bag indicator light came on (indicating no one was in the passenger seat) when an adult was sitting in the seat. I called the dealer and also heard that there was a recall. Dealer told me that a fix was unknown at the time and that i should wait for a recall notice. I received a recall notice many months later. I took the car in and something was adjusted/fixed per the dealer but problem was not resolved. I was told that i probably was not sitting in the seat correctly or i was under weight. Neither are true. Dealer retested and said nothing was wrong but i still have the problem with the indicator light. I do not feel confident that the passenger side air bag would deploy if i had an accident. Problem is intermittent. I heard recently on tv that other people like me were still complaining. I thought you should know that this problem may be more widespread since i am also experiencing it. Hope i never have an accident in this car!
