| Description of the problem | Several times the passenger seat / occupant detection system has failed to properly identify an adult occupant and has disabled the passenger air bag. Dealer has serviced twice but issue persist. The only resolution is to pull over, power car completely off and restart car. On restart the car recognized the occupant and enabled the passenger airbag. This happened several more times with the most recent being april 2015. Now i feel unsafe specially with my wife pregnant seating on the passenger side. |
