| Description of the problem | Passenger airbag light goes on and off randomly when i am sitting in the passenger seat. I am 5'3 110lbs. The sensors were recalibrated when i took it to the dealer the first time. The problem continued. Even if you sit in one spot and not move the sensor will turn on and off randomly. The dealership still doesn't know how to fix the problem. I was told the sensors have trouble sensing 70-90lbs of weight. I am over that therefore there should be no issue. I now own a car that the airbag might be on or off if i was ever in a collision. This is a huge safety concern! |
