Consumer Description

WITHIN THE LAST TWO MONTHS WHILE DRIVING WITH MY WIFE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SYSTEM HAS DISENGAGED SEVERAL TIMES AND WE RECEIVE THREE WARNING LIGHTS. A RED SRS LIGHT IN THE LOWER DASH. A WHITE "I" ON A RED BACKGROUND NEXT TO THE TRIP ODOMETER LETTER, AND THE SRS INDICATOR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH NEXT TO THE TIME INDICATOR COMES ON SAYINF THE SRS IS OFF. TOOK TO DEALER ON 8/24/2018 AND THEY SAD THEY GOT CODES B1650 AND B1760 WHICH THEY RESET. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SAID WATER MUST HAVE GOTTEN ON THE SEAT, WHICH HAS NEVER HAPPENED. THIS WEEKEND, 9/2/2018, WE STARTED HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING. RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AFTER A SHORT DRIVE AND THEN CAME BACK ON WHILE DRIVING. THE LIGHTS ONLY COME ON WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT.
