| Description of the problem | I started noticing that the front passenger airbag light wasn't always "on" when there was a passenger seated there. It seemed to malfunction more frequently when a heavier person was on the seat. Attempts to get it to activate (unbuckling and rebuckling seatbelt, bouncing on the seat, stopping the car and restarting) all had no effect. This problem has continued intermittently. |
