Our 2014 Range Rover sport passenger side airbag indicator deactivates intermittently during multiple trips at highway speeds with an adult in the passenger seat. After 7-12 minutes the indicator light near the sunshade button will illuminate to note the passenger airbag has been deactivated or is not operational; even though the passenger is sitting correctly and maintaining constant weight on the seat. Moving around the seat or shifting weight from one side to the other will not extinguish the indicator light; however briefly unbuckling the seat belt while the vehicle is moving and then quickly buckling the seat belt will cause the indicator light to shut off for 7 to 12 minutes. After this unbuckling and buckling process has been completed the light will come on again. The Land Rover dealership inspected this vehicle and found no problems with the passenger air bag sensors. Land rover also never mentioned to me that this issues has occurred with other Range Rover vehicles. On another note, the air bag indicator light is severly underilluminated. Very difficult yo see during the day and there is no other visual or audio queue to the driver that the passenger air bag has been deactivaited. This is troubling because you may never notice the issue unless it occurs at night, but even then it is still difficult to see in the dark. Bc.
Vehicle was parked. My eight year old daughter was buckled in the driver's side rear seat. My wife was loading groceries in the trunk. Some items shifted as she was loading them. These items made contact with the buttons on the right side wall of the trunk that control the incline/decline of the rear seats. The button was activated and the seat my daughter was seated in started to decline. She was not strong enough to resist the decline and the seat forced her to near horizontal before we were able to reverse the switch. She escaped injury, but it seems likely that an injury could have resulted from this had the seat declined further. These buttons need to be protected in some fashion to prevent accidental engagement.
