The passenger "airbag off" remains illuminated if you have a 100lb or 250lb person in the seat. Every so often, when a 200+lb person sit in the passenger seat, the light will extinguish indicating that the airbag is activated. Then if that 200+lb person adjust position while in the seat , the "airbag off" light will illuminate again. I read many Sonic owner complaints from 2012-2016 model years with the same issue. I called 2 local chevy dealers and the service advisors said they were not aware of any "airbag off" light issues at all but I could stop by so they diagnose a known problem for $140. From all the forums I've read, not one, I repeat not one of these airbag light off issues has been resolved even after taking the car to the dealer. An attorney website dedicated to Sonic airbag issues has many testimonials from owners and statistics showing at least 10 injuries and 1 death resulting from these airbag issues. These are not takata airbags by the way. I sincerely hope that nhsta looks into this issue before there are any more injuries or deaths.
