| Description of the problem | I purchased the car in september and have observed that when there is a passenger in the front passenger seat, the passenger side airbag warning light comes on and may or may not go off after i have been driving for a considerable period of time. I have reported it to the dealer when i have taken the car in for the scheduled tune-up and oil changes but they have not been able to find the cause of this problem. They have suggested that it might be caused by insufficient weight on the passenger seat, but they have been unable to tell me what is the minimum weight requirement. I find that having the warning light on is very disconcerting since it may be indicating a safety problem. |
