Description of the problem	When driving with no one in the passenger seat and sometimes when there is someone in the seat i get an srs airbag fault but it never stays on after i shut down the suv. Sometimes when i restart the suv after about 5 minutes it will come back on and it stays on until i shut off the suv. Then nothing for weeks. I've wanted to take it to the dealer but every time i start to head over to then the fault goes out or never comes on? I'm sure if i just head over i'm just wasting my time. The last two months it's been much more active with the fault happening. I'm listing the last time it has happen as 01/10/2020. I keep nothing on the passengers seat and i am unsure if the air bag light (yellow light on the dash) shows that it is on or off when it comes on. My wife was driving about a week ago and i was in the passenger seat (6' 225 lbs) and the srs fault come on and the yellow airbag light showed it was still on. I have a trip to pittsburgh pa from allentown pa and i'm worried that if i'm in an accident they won't go off and protect us. This car is just out of warranted and i have about 44k on the vehicle.
