Consumer Description

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT WORK FOR PERSONS UNDER 145 LBS AND THE COMPANY REPS HAVE INSISTED THAT IT IS DESIGNED THAT WAY FOR SAFETY AND THAT THEY ARE HAPPY TO TAKE OUT THE SEAT AND SEND IT AWAY TO BE WORKED ON BUT THERE IS A 999 CHANCE OUT OF A THOUSAND THAT IT WILL BEHAVE JUST THE SAME WAY ON RE-INSTALLATION BECAUSE "THE CAR DECIDES THAT IT'S SAFER FOR THE AIRBAG NOT TO DEPLOY" AT MY WEIGHT -- WHICH IS OVER 140 LBS. I POINTED OUT THE FAULTY LOGIC AND THEY AGREED TO GO THROUGH THE MOTIONS (WHICH THEY BELIEVE WILL BE INEFFECTIVE IN FIXING THE PROBLEM). *TR
