    After starting the vehicle while still stationary, the front passenger airbag is disarmed despite there being a passenger in the seat. The vehicle must be restarted frequently until the light indicates the airbag is armed. I have taken it to the dealer on two separate occasions but both times they found nothing wrong and could only re-calibrate the sensor. If someone were to not notice the light it could potentially…

    Takata recall - is this vehicle subject to recall? Also, the passenger side airbags will only deploy when the passenger weighs over ~110 lbs. My wife is 5'2" & weighs 106 lbs. Which is the proper weight for someone her size. When she sits in the seat the airbag light remains on, telling us she is not protected by airbags. If 40,000+ people lives have been saved by airbags, why does the industry allow lighter weight…

    The airbag sensor for the passenger seat stays on even when an adult passenger is sitting in the front passenger seat. We notice it occurs when the car is started prior to the passenger getting in. If we turn the car off and start it again the light goes out. Our vin # was not part of the recall, but clearly it should have been. *tr
