Description of the problem | 2017 honda civic ex hatchback. 22371 miles. Rt. Frt. Pass. Air bag will not deploy in event of accident due to " smart design ". Per honda dealer, seat sensor is not detecting weight threshold when anyone sits who are not heavy enough. My wife is 5' 4" & approx. 117 lbs. I am 5' 5" & approx. 115 lbs. Neither one of us can sit & turn off srs off warning. Also per dealer this is a safety design as if airbag deploys the force can injure or worse the person sitting there if not of correct weight. My wife will not be protected at any time she sits in front. Dealer advised that seat be moved far back as possible or have her sit in the back seat. Also, the seat side air bag and/or side curtain system should still provide some protection. Otherwise, no trouble code (s) are present & system operating normally & within design parameters. Not comfortable with my wife being unprotected in event of incident & she is not looking forward to being required to sit in the back seat. |
