Bbought the car from private party and brought it to a shop to be looked over the bad a mancanic tool scan the car passenger air bags are not responding to the computer don't know how many other cars have this issue but its not even pulling a airbag indicator light also it failed a test the mancanic ran it said passenger air bag not responding and in the event of a car accident all air bags may not go off this is a huge safety concern and also for the safety of my passengers and my self. Air bag light still come on when the car runs a equipment check. And goes away after the check is done.
"takata recall" the passenger seat is not registering that there's someone sitting there who 5'5" and weighs almost 135 pounds and is wearing his seatbelt. So the airbag light on the bottom right of the center console comes on and says "passenger airbag off" and the yellow airbag light stays lit up on the drivers dashboard until the car is shut off, all with someone who's big enough for the airbag sensor to know he's sitting there. All vehicles he sits in that have sensors for airbags for the front passenger seat always read that he's sitting there, so I know he's big enough to set the sensor off and for it yo know he's sitting there and to activate the passenger airbag. Pictures are of the yellow airbag light on the drivers, the center console "passenger airbag off", and a few showing where he's sitting in the seat and both the yellow lights are still on. The yellow lights are only on when the vehicle is running, in motion, on highway, stopped, on city streets, turning, and going forward. (itsl's alright to share all pictures publicly, I knew they'd be shared with the public before taking them. ).
