| Description of the problem | When my wife sits on a 3 inch foam cushion on the passenger side the passenger side to sit more comfortably (she is 4'11' and has hip problems); the passenger side air bag indicator only goes into on mode intermittently. This happen when entering the car and continues while the car is in motion. This could be dangerous in an accident, if not notice be the passenger or driver. Corrective action believe it or not involve. S bouncing up and down on the seat. A side effect seems to be, that when the sign is in off position, the seat belts lockup and constrict the passenger. |
