Consumer Description

PASSENGER AIRBAG SEAT MAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR FAULT. THE PROBLEM BEGAN WHENEVER A PASSENGER WOULD SIT ON THE SEAT, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD GO ON. AFTER SOME TIME PASSED THE LIGHT STAYS ON PERMANENTLY. I NOTICED RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM IN PREVIOUS YEARS. UPON RESEARCHING, IT SEEMS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM THAT JUST ISN'T REPORTED. IT LEADS TO MANY JUST FIXING IT THEMSELVES, OR JUST BUYING BYPASSES TO AVOID FORKING OUT OVER $1200 TO GET IT FIXED. THE PROBLEM DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR SITUATION, AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED
