| Description of the problem | During our vacation while driving in illinois we noticed while on the highway going at a speed of 60 to 65 mph while an adult occupying the passenger seat the air bag light came on and said passenger air bag turned off. I pulled out the owners manual and read that it could be caused by an article perhaps touching the seat if reclined too far back. This was not the case. There was nothing touching the seat. I was sitting perfectly still so the sensor should have detected a passenger in the seat. I had been siting in the seat for hours with the normal movement. We pulled over and turned the car off then restarted and the light stayed off. This happened several more times while driving on our vacation and is a scary thought to have this occur. Once home, i called the dealership for an appointment and in the meantime the same thing occurred on a short in town trip twice. My appointment is this week so i am curious what they will find. |
