| Description of the problem | The airbag sensor does not detect the front seat passenger during travel. The passesger airbag display is on at the start but then switches to off while the car is moving, after around 20 minutes or more of driving. So far, restarting the car has put the passenger airbag back on, but this requires the driver to find a safe place to stop and restart the car. This happened twice in june, once in july, and now twice this week (beginning of september). In june and july we were on an interstate going 70 mph. This week we were driving in town at 40 mph. The car was moving straight at the time. The seat was not wet. |
