Air Bag On-off Switch Problems of Acura RDX

On oct 31 2019 we purchased the 2020 Rdx advance and the passenger front seat airbag light off has been sporadically staying on when my wife is sitting in the passenger seat. Which indicates the airbag is not armed on that side. Luckily we have been taking photos of the switch coming on with her sitting in the seat. They say its a weight issue which is unacceptable. If you turn the car off the airbag light resets to off when she is sitting in the car. If the car is running and you pick up a passenger the airbag light does not turnoff. Dealer responded it being a weight issue and that the sensors are different between the driver and passenger. This is unacceptable safety issue.

2019 Acura Rdx a spec, has had a repeated issue with the front passenger airbag indicator light coming on when a passenger is in the front seat. Passenger is 120 lb female and the light has repeatedly come on and stays on until the vehicle is stopped with the ignition switch and restarted. This has been a random issue that has been documented with video and shown to the dealership. Dealership has witnessed issue in person while the vehicle was connected to their computer. Acura has replaced the seat frame, weight plate and new sensors along with the supplemental restraint system computer. Despite repeated repairs the issue continues and Acura's position is the vehicle is operating as designed. Dealership service advisers say that in the case of a front end accident while the light is on and airbag off the airbag will not deploy. This is a safety issue that Acura/Honda refuses to address.
