The seat sensor on the passenger side is faulty, causing the air bag light to staty on while operating the vehicle - the "pre-sense" light to stay on - and the un-buckled seat belt alarm to stay going off. All while operating the vehicle. The brand dealership said airbag maynot deploy while seat sensor is malfuctioning. $1200 repair.
Passenger seat detection map is faulting out and I am concerned that the airbag will not deploy if an accident occurs. Apparently it is my fault and I have to pay to fix it.
