Consumer Description

MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING I NOTICED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT SAYING "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF".. MY WIFE IS ABOUT 150 LBS AND THE AIRBAG SEAT SENSOR SHOULD NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH A PERSON OF THIS WEIGHT. I WORKED ON SEAT SENSOR DESIGN FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS AND I KNOW THAT MOST ARE PROGRAMS TO NOT DEPLOY FOR PEOPLE UNDER 80LBS. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES SO FAR (MID JAN, END OF FEB, AND EARLY MARCH 2014). I HAVE PULLED OVER EACH TIME, TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF AND IT RE-SET THE ERROR TWO OF THE THREE TIMES. THE ONE TIME IT DID NOT, I DROVE AN ADDITIONAL 10 MILES THEN RETRIED THE CAR OFF/ON AND IT RE-SET SO THE AIRBAG DOES WORK. NOW I'M DRIVING AROUND CHECKING FOR THE LIGHT SO I KNOW THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER IN MY FRONT SEAT. *TR
