Description of the problem | The passenger side airbag will not deploy if there is a cushion on the seat. This was not explained to me until after i complained and i was then told that i should have read the owner's manual. Unfortunately, the owner's manual is not available until after the car's purchase and even then i would have had to know that my arthritis was going to get severe enough to need a cushion. The non-deployment of my passenger side air bag is very dangerous. *js the consumer stated the also would not deploy in the passenger sits in the seat while wet. The consumer requested an update. *js |
