Description of the problem | The passenger side airbag light was staying on in my car, i took it to ray shultens and they put in new sensors and recalibrated the seat. The day after the repair as we were driving on the interstate i noticed the light was on and my son was in the seat. Him shifting in the seat did not change anything and the light stayed on which indicates the airbags will not deploy on the passenger side if we were in an accident. I had to pull off the interstate, have him get out and restart the car. This happened again this past weekend with myself as the passenger ( grown adult 5'6", 140 lbs). Today i took it into the dealership for repair, but was told they couldnt come up with any diagnostic codes and " that this is how the system works, there is no weight limitation on the system and if you shift in the seats it could turn off the airbag, and that this is normal and how the system was designed". I am concerned for the safety anyone driving in this car as a passenger. It is unbelievable to me that this can be considered "normal". This is a safety issue and my car should have a passenger side airbag in it that works! |
