| Description of the problem | I recently had my car taken to the dealer for two recall items- passenger seat airbag indicator and hood latch replacement. Afterwards, the airbag off indicator now is illuminated when passenger front seat is not occupied. On two occasions over the last week, while someone was in the front passenger seat the passenger airbag indicator started was extinguished, like i would expect, but after about 5-7 miles of driving the indicator illuminated, indicating that passenger airbag was off, while person was still in the seat. After an additional 35 miles or so of non-stop driving, i exited the freeway and came to a stop, at that point the passenger airbag indicator then went out. The fellow i carpool with has been in the passenger seat both times that this has occurred is very concerned and is considering not carpooling any longer. Thank you |
