Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The front passenger air bag does not indicate 'on' predictably when i am seated. I am a 125lb woman. The airbag sensor sometimes comes on. Other times it remains off. Being an engineer, i spend time moving my weight distribution, seat back position, picking my weight up and reseating myself, and other factors trying to get the airbag light to turn on during long car trips. Sometimes this works, but it is unpredictable. On the last car trip the airbag remained off for our 4 hour drive even though i tried various positions. It scares me to think that the airbag is probably not going to work if we are ever involved in a crash. We have brought the car into the dealer and they say the airbag is working properly.
